I quit alcohol and weed and took up gardening.
I now have a tropical style garden and I absolutely love it. I spend all my spare time in it. Gardening saved my life. ❤

As an addict this is completely accurate

[hardlifting]

So true. The challenge is finding something that can compete and keep competing forever.

And here I am with BOTH an alcohol and cocaine addiction. I wish the best for anyone thats on a journey to be sober or drug free! I've tried many times and failed. I've lost everything in my life. My wife, my house, my job, my credit, my own family. Im on the verge of being homeless, and it's frightening.

To any young folks reading this, stay away from drugs and alcohol if you can. I was chasing a happiness I never found.

I hope god will take me back. I pray for anyone going through such misery only a few can understand, that you get better, and find your peace.

God bless us all! 🙏

HE delivered me from a lifetime (40 years) of hardcore alcoholism!!!! Not Re-Hab, Not
" Sober Living Home" for 3 1/2 years, with A.A. meetings everyday. Sometimes twice a day. Not until my 33 arrest ( bcuz of alcohol and being a black out drunk) and Prison again for the second time since 20 ( Prison and jail are two separate things.)...the day i was released to my brother Mike's home, i went to my room, closed the door, dropped my stuff, and knelt down in tears, asking Jesus to please set me free from the nightmare of alcoholism
He DID !!! 19 years sober as of August 15 th, 2024
Praise Jesus ❤ i wasn't spiritual my whole life, but i am now!!!! I LOVE my Savior Jesus Christ

An intense, inpatient, Cognitive behavioral therapy program..based in a therapeutic community, saved my life.
Super lucky to have been given that second chance.😊

I will never understand how people attack and hate this man so much.

[durylmixon]

Freedom and a better life for my family is what is better. Being a true leader sees that and knows it...and will do anything to be a greater leader.

The way he ended this was so brutally true I couldn’t help but laugh out loud lol😂😂😂

Stopping something isn’t an action, that’s why it’s so hard to quit, quitting isn’t an action, it’s the result. The action is doing something else. You have to fill the whole it leaves.

Lord help to take away anything that does not glorify your name knowingly or unknowingly Amen thanks lord

The best replacement is fitness, nature time and wellness activities, I found

[hansslane]

Replacing addiction with something better is the something that adds up to addiction.
Specificity is the spiffy that addresses the problem of boredom that’s dull as a unspecific lullaby.

[CDsWhispers]

Though it sound cliche, a strong desire to be alive can be what's better. After a serious injury, they had me addicted to Oxi at a dosage that was 34 times the current recommended maximum. Quitting that was in no way easy, but it brought me back to life and the love of my life.

[charcoalelement]

One comment in here is 💯 percent right. Workout! When you make getting healthy your addiction, you will look back and think “ how could i have ever put poisons in my body?” Because you will be feeling so good taking care of your health and feeling amazing!

[tonyjoiner]

The gym and being dedicated to your family!! Makes it all worth it!

[PlantTheWay]

Something they don’t tell people in AA which is why it never worked for me. I was only able to quit when I realized that the struggles in life were more important than numbing the pain. It was never that I couldn’t deal with life, it was that I didn’t want to. To be successful though, needs always have to come before wants, and I don’t need alcohol.

[Robin-zx]

The best thing is peace of mind ❤ and SELF-LOVE ❤

Only inside
