    7 years sober life is still not the same. Sometimes I wonder why I quit drinking. I lost all my social life and became anhedonic/agoraphobic. If you’ve consistently used in your teens into adulthood your brain hasn’t completely formed and it is forever altered. Rehabs, therapy, meds etc are merely crutches not cures. You will never be what you would or could have been. Don’t deny it. Just one day at a time is all you can do. Just try to be better than you were the day before. Things that do help mitigate the stresses - anxieties from this massive adjustment hands down is regular exercise - healthy diet and gut health is huge. Not many realize that most serotonin is produced in our gut microbiome. Focus on you because when it really comes down to it you’re the only one that has your back. Every day we have choices and those choices no matter how big or small have consequences. Make the right choices through being mindful and your path will align in such a way that is manageable. Best of luck to all that struggle with addiction. It’s not easy, you really have to want it. Without that you’re pissing in the wind.

If you have some type of empathy and/or nurturing qualities, or you resemble the beauty ideal of the day, partners instinctively act like you’re necessary for survival. If you have both, watch out! You see how people with substance use disorders can act when we think drugs are necessary for survival. It’s some By Any Means Necessary shyt.

It does not mean it has to be in every testimony and someone who is trying to get clean this belief that relapse is just a part of recovery could hurt them.

Nevertheless, of course it is not an honest 1-on-1 conversation with the psychologist, but rather an exhibition because everyone knows that countless people see this. I would therefore never say that this format is the pinnacle of honesty. On the one hand, it's nice to see that people are given a platform to express themselves, but on the other hand, it's often like a freak show or a human zoo, depending on how you look at it, I wouldn't prefer either of these extremes, it's just interesting and superficial

We adopt a persona with different family and friends. We aren't necessarily the same person alone moment to moment. Some lie to psychs and at confession. Life is so faceted, you can't capture it. This is as deep as it gets. Hope the comments don't get axed cause I appreciate all those too. Even for mine, in an hr or so, I may thnk: wait, I didn't really mean it that way. Not shallow.

    Being an alcoholic has to be so crazy. No other drug is forced down your throat by society. For example.... When your with a group of people and you tell them you don't drink people try to talk u into having one. ("Come on just one", "don't make me drink alone""it's a celebration, you can have a drink with me", etc. Etc.) No one says ,"come on just have one shot of heroin with us."

      Yes! It’s not going to stay this hard. I hope you find something you love doing that has nothing to do with a partner. Something that will always drive you, no matter what! That’s what really helps me. I have seen some comments, by people white knuckling it, after years. I don’t feel depressed and agoraphobic, and I’m in long term recovery. If you find something you love doing, it helps so much. It’s possible to get the needs met that we used to fill with chemicals, in other ways!

    Savannah you are doing awesome being sober for 8.5 months and I am very proud of you. You are my absolute favorite person on Soft White Underbelly. Do your best not to relapse, but if you do, that is just part of getting sober and not the end of the world. Start over and get sober again, trying to go longer than you did before the relapse. That's how I did it and now I have almost 9 years sober. I can see you are fighting back a panic attack during this video, and I am sorry you have gone through so much the last few days before this. By not already relapsing, it shows how strong you are that you went through those things and remained sober. Ignore the people that call you names and say mean things. My Dad called me a piece of sh*t to my face every time I saw him while I was addicted, and after I was clean. All while he was calling me that for being addicted, he was a raging violent alcoholic. So the people calling you names, have no right to do so. Most are sh*tty people themselves.

And she can find something healthier to be ‘addicted’ to like gym, running, hiking, etc and she’ll finally be comfortable by herself and with herself. What bothered me is that Mark previously (I think he was on a podcast) stated that he loved crazy women. It felt a bit cringe how many times he told her that some guys like that, she will find a guy, she’ll always be crazy and have messed up relationships, even though she never expressed fear or being alone/not being accepted or loved. it felt like he was coming on to her😅 but, I could be wrong, maybe he was genuinly happy for her and just wanted to make her feel good

      THANK YOU ❤ for saying that. I’ve seen people do YT diaries about detoxing from alcohol at home, and I get so scared for them! I was in treatment for “hard drugs,” and the scariest detox I ever saw was from alcohol! This older woman had a seizure, and another patient dove down and caught her head, before it hit the cement. I saw this happened to the same person more than once there and another person, too, she could easily have died from the blow to the head that could’ve happened if he hadn’t caught her. .I hope you will comment on some of these blogs before it’s too late! I can tell that from watching that the people doing this are really seriously ill, sometimes. I’ve seen serious complications happen to a lot of people, both in treatment and when I worked in the treatment field for a short time NowI have a health issue, and I’m studying until I can work again, but most people need to be in a medical treatment setting to detox from alcohol…even some frat boys and “average” college kids are drinking at that level, but especially if you know you’re addicted don’t go to some non-medical treatment or stay home to detox please, if you can help it!

      While you are correct, forced rehab rarely works, and rehab facilities can be extremely traumatizing. A lot of people also don't have access to such facilities and so if its between potentially ODing or potentially dying from trying to get sober, I would choose the sobriety option.
