I feel like I just left treatment 2023 when I went to residential and sober living for 7 months 2023 but I’m back in treatment 2025 and doing well. I only get my phone for an hour but wanted to reach out to everyone and check on you guys. I’m feeling much better started a new med gabapentin and staying off adderrall, lowering my geodone my psychiatrist says in the future I won’t have to take the med anymore because it’s been 10 years so looking forward to weening off the med.

I’m attending groups, working on an autobiography assignment, reading the book “Let that $hit Go,” being social, making friends. Even had a crush here and cried hysterically when he left and cried in my bathroom when it took a week just to say hello and introduce myself. Not sure if we are going to keep in touch, fingers crossed 🤞. I’m a little rough around the edges and had trouble being social to begin with but now I have made great friends here and I’m happy to have a nice support group. Finally get to share my story in person. I also signed up to secretary and lead the AA meetings here and spoke for the first time briefly sharing my story middle school to now (when I smoked weed for the first time), and talked about doing cocaine my senior year in college. I’m happy to be sober now, recently it’s been alcohol. I look forward to sharing my progress online when I get out and move to sober living. Hope everyone is doing well!
