Every time one of the band members says they "just found out" something, guaranteed there was a(n unscheduled) meeting in Charles' office about it. The entire premise of "Rehabklok" even implies that the boys collectively become 'experts' on AA in order to ship Pickles off to rehab.

Rock.

The best part about Rock bottom is the Rock part. You discover the solid bit of you. The bit that can't be broken down further. The thing that might be your soul. At our lowest we find the solid ground of our foundation. And we can build ourselves up. Renewed.

"you're sick" i've got a good grade in being one of the "sick and suffering" they hold a moment of silence for at A.A meetings, which is both normal to want and possible to achieve.

addiction recovery tips

1. Protect your space. You don’t have time for bullshit anymore. Cut out the people you’ve been meaning to cut out. Make the most space for the people who have chosen to believe in you. Spend less time on social media. I’ve deleted my facebook and instagram apps. It doesn’t have to be permanent but you need to avoid triggers and to an emotionally sensitive person like many addicts are due to Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome social media is full of triggers. It’s shown that social media makes you compare your lives to others leading to a lacking mindset rather than one of appreciation for what you have.

2. Find a recovery group. The important part is making community outreach a regular part of your week. Some people go to meetings everyday. There are plenty of meetings out there. AA, NA, DRA, SMART recovery, recovery dharma… if you don’t like the meetings you have available I recommend going anyway to connect with people. Take what resonates and leave the rest behind.

3. Take it a day at a time. You don’t have to commit to being sober for a lifetime, though hopefully you get there eventually. Just be sober today. 24 hours. And then do it again tomorrow.

4. Be as open about recovery as possible. Shame is a normal part of recovery but the more people you’re open with the more chances you have for increasing your support network. Outside of meetings, a support network is very important. No one is an island.

5. If you need to, “kill” yourself. Kill the old you. You have a blank slate. You’re starting fresh. You aren’t defined by your past. Reinvent yourself. Dare to dream big. You’ll need to have hobbies and goals to distract yourself when you get urges. Because you will get them. And sometimes it will be very bad. It helps to have a routine activity you enjoy to engage your brain and tap into your rational mind.

6 months clean

One week ago I accomplished 6 months of being clean and sober, totally abstinent from ALL drugs (including weed). I have never had this much time since I was 16 years old. I can’t tell you how I did it. I’m in shock and awe at myself. My family is actually proud of me. The people I love can sleep soundly. I no longer cause chaos in everything I touch. I feel free.

I guess I did it one day at a time. That’s all I could do. I’ve been wanting to use again, but logically it makes no sense. I can’t go backwards - I’ve worked so hard to get here. I currently have covid but I have never been so in love with my life. Most days are endless and boring, but occasionally I am surrounded by burning bright souls. My sister, my parents, my friends - admiring my brothers accomplishments from afar - I love them all so much.

If you are hopeless and alone, I understand you. I feel you. I was once in your shoes and I wanted to die. I wanted to do fentanyl, fall out, and pass away. But I wasn’t ready to put my loved ones through my funeral. I wasn’t ready to leave a shore of monumental pain. Going to rehab for the 5th time truly fucking saved my life.

I can get one year. I know it! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers throughout this journey - they worked!

It really hurts me to see my best friend struggle with alcoholism.

Even worse, she refuses to seek out resources to help her or attempt to become sober.

She spreads negativity and vitriol when she should be focusing on her healing journey.

I told her I need space because I don't want to be around her when she's screaming and cursing, and going on rants. I can't deal with that right now.

I'm on my own healing journey right now. I'm focusing on my health, sobriety, spirituality and working toward my academic and career goals.

18th of February. It's not hyperbole to say that I never expected to live this long. There was a time when just being sober for a measly 24-hours felt impossible. As they say, if you can’t be a good example then be a horrible warning.

Knowing deep down I made the right decision by giving up alcohol, but at the same time feeling extremely jealous of people who drink and party and have fun.

I feel so uncomfortable without alcohol.

Seeing people describe AA/12 Step as a "high control group" is so fucking weird when one of the defining experiences of actually being inside AA/12 Step is "people constantly cycle in and out of the program and very few people stick around." AA is like the easiest thing in the universe to quit and there are zero consequences for doing so.

I've done it all - attended Alcoholics Anonymous twice a day, five days a week. Memorized the fourth edition of the "Big Book" from cover to cover. Admitted myself into two different rehabs, staying 60 days each time.

What has ultimately kept me sober from drinking is confiding in my therapist and taking a combination of Acamprosate and Naltrexone twice a day to curb alcohol cravings.

I drank heavily for nearly two decades, and frankly have the experience and genetic predisposition to confirm that addiction is not a choice.

But sobriety and self-care are.

Is this why I feel a sense of sanctuary at AA Meetings like no other place? Haven't encountered homophobia yet, but as I've learned from others, "if nobody gets on your nerves at a meeting, you just haven't been going to enough meetings." All are welcome, and where the hell else can you speak your mind and people at least are quiet enough to listen?

It's also very draining. I'm in extreme mental pain right now, and I seemto absorb and feel way too much, so sometimes I feel it's NOT good for me to go so much. My life is hanging by a thread, and I have nowhere else to go, and people have been kind to me there. I can't help it.

And a weird thing too. It's taking me a little to break through my isolation and low self esteem, so it hasn't been easy going to my AA group, but in ways I feel more at home there than at NA. In one way it's because of my queerness. At my AA group it feels like that doesn't have to matter and I can leave everything else at the door while I come in and focus on my self and experience. The NA group does have many more queer people, I think like 40% of the group I went to was such and while the rules are the same, I feel more almost pressured to make that part of my recovery. I do have some resentments regarding the gay community and how I've been incapable of forming relationships that aren't anything other than chaotic and painful.

Is this internalized homophobia? Have I been fucked up for so long, and not knowing who I am for so long, and having used "coming out" alcoholically, I still really don't? Have I snapped my own mind? Am I an empty, hungry ghost, unliving and hating it, with no energy to pick up tools for my liberation from this life, from this cruel, ravenous world?

IDK

WTF

Dude I just now got a Nintendo switch

(Delayed by my refusal to spend money on something so stupid)

It wasn’t stupid I fucking love it

And of course Minecraft is my favorite game again.

I really thought I was getting better with game choices.

Especially being a girl in the gamer community.

Yknow how many girls are shit on for their favorite game being fucking Minecraft?

Of course I didn’t want to be shit on so I started playing “better” games.

Like the last of us, and Jedi fallen order

(Baller storyline games btw)

But I always run back to it. And If I get shit on, I don’t really care this time around

MINECRAFT FUCKING RULES!!!!
