relapse is not a moral failure. substance use and addiction are not a moral failure. mental illness is not a moral failure. disability is not a moral failure. you have a health condition. you are struggling. recovery is not mean to be perfect, and if you're not in recovery, surviving is good too. i'm glad you're here, and i hope life treats you better soon. please know this is not your fault. you do not need to feel guilty over your own health.

You do not deserve pain. You do not exist to suffer. I know in your darkest times it is so easy to feel that you deserve this agony but you do not. Your life will get better, and you will receive the love and kindess you deserve.

this is it yall I DID IT!! today's the 100TH DAY of my sobriety

Thank you so, so much to everyone here who has commented, replied, sent asks, private messaged me throughout this journey sending me support and love - it means more than you know 💕

In the last 100 days I have been able to write and draw more, I have been gradually less anxious and my dark brain thoughts have spiraled much less than when using. I got my dreams back, literally- it had been years since u recalled draming at night and now I remember every couple nights dreams.

I learned that for an addict, getting sober doesn't mean not wanting to drink/smoke. I may always have the desire to. But now I know I am strong enough to fight back and win.

100 days!!!!

So, a lot of chronic pain patients are understandably wary to the suggestion that we might be addicted to our pain meds, but it is actually very possible and I really wish we talked about it more. Like addiction to pain meds is likely less common than ableds would have us believe, but that is still possible and we should address it more.

Like if you are taking more meds then you are supposed to then that is a problem. If you take your meds when you don't really need them, or mix them with other substances to increase the effects that's a problem. If you're lying to people to get more meds, or hiding the amount you're using, or stealing to get more meds that's a problem. If you're meds start effecting your mental health or your ability to function then that is again, a problem.

That doesn't mean you have to stop taking your meds, and effective healthcare should never force you to do this. But if you've noticed you have an unhealthy relationship with your meds, or if a loved one has expressed concerns about your use thrn it may be time to reassess your relationship with your prescription. Try to get in touch with harm reduction programs to say what steps you can take to keep yourself safe. I go to a SMART recovery meeting once a week, but you may find you have different services in your area.

Being an addict doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, or that you've done something wrong. There are many factors that contribute to addiction and not one of them is that you weren't trying hard enough to use a specific substance responsibly. You are not alone in this. Stay safe.

ADHDers—you're vulnerable to addiction.

And addictions aren't just substances.

You can be addicted to:

people

relationships

emotions

stress

food

control

oversleeping

work

the gym

gaming

self-improvement

This post isn't a scare-post, though.

If you are aware of where you're vulnerable, you can put extra measures in place to keep you safe.

Managing addiction looks like:

giving yourself time limits for certain activities

noticing once an activity becomes draining (not fulfilling)

journaling your day-to-day so you can start to notice patterns

talking with friends about the activities you think might be taking up too much of your mind or time

With support, you can do anything!

I believe in you.

Follow for more if you need a little extra peer support :)

I really really cant believe im celebrating purim this year!! its my first time celebrating it since i began recovery from my alcohol addiction. it's my second favorite holiday and it means so much that im healed enough to be able to do this now. i genuinely cant believe that im able to do this because even last year it wouldve been impossible for me to not relapse.

it's not easy for sure. I'm still nervous to be around that much alcohol, and I've thought of drinking just for that one day. I know if i do that I'll just end up fully relapsing so I will do everything i can not to drink. i feel really, really accomplished and im so happy i can actively participate in things ive had to avoid previously.

I'll try for you. (jason and roy)

When Jason found out Roy was an addict, he hid all of the archer's long-sleeved shirts. Every jacket, every hoodie, even cut the arms off of his gear. At first, Roy thought it was a humiliation tactic, forcing him to show the world his track marks, but then Jason practically ripped a hoodie off of him to check his arms, and he understood.

They sat on the floor in Wayne manor, Jason's fingers still pressed to Roy's wrist (verifying his pulse), and they talked. The words spilled out of Jason in an unholy torrent of sadness and regret. Catherine Todd had overdosed, and Jason found her body. He had been too late to save her.

Roy wanted to be angry; his addiction wasn't Catherine's. Jason had no right to micromanage his recovery; they weren't family, and they had only recently become friends, but Roy just couldn't find it in himself to be mad. Jason was one of the only people in the masked or real worlds to actually care. It broke his fucking heart.

A fifteen-year-old was the only person willing to see him as a person with an addiction and not as a lost-cause addict. Jason helped him check into a rehab facility and promised to take him joyriding in the Batmobile when he got out. Roy swore he would try for Jason.

Then Jason died, and Roy stopped trying.

Healthy Relationships with Mental Illness Look Like

I acknowledge my struggles and that they are not your fault, but I am hurting and I want support <-> I felt that you were struggling and was unsure of what I can do, I want to help so what might help me support you in a way that’s healthy for both of us?

I am aware my emotions are unusually intense today and that may make me very anxious or reactionary <-> Thank you for letting me know, I respect your feelings and I will support you while also taking care of my needs. What would be comforting right now?

I love you but I am feeling too overwhelmed to support you in this moment. Do you think that you can call a friend or loved one for some support so I can l can take care of myself? <-> Thank you for telling me. Yes, I can use my support system to help me through this. We both deserve rest and support. If you want to talk about this when we are feeling better I would like that.

Tell your addict friends you're proud of them.

Yes even if they are still actively in addiction.

Yes even if they relapsed. Idc if they've been sober a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade.

Yes even if they don't plan on or feel comfortable quitting/going into recovery.

Yes even if you don't think their addiction is serious, or if you think their DOC isn't "that bad."

YES even if they have been to rehab or detox multiple times.

July is disability pride month, and addiction is just as much a disability as any other. Addicts are people too, please do not forget to advocate for us too. Not every single illness is something you can uwu-fy, infantilize, or glamourize.
