Honestly, I scared someone off Cytube tonight and it sent me into a terrible tailspin. This shit is starting to be a problem for me.

      I think I'm going to do the same thing starting Thursday. I went 1 year without drinking before, I can do it again.

        You can do it! I'm currently working on sobriety. What's helped me is creating a circle of people that hold me accountable to my commitment. So I'm not just telling myself I'll do it. People will check up and ask how's your sobriety and provide support when needed and when you're staying on the right track you have some joy to share with them. Feels good man.

          I might need to delve into the Catholic Workers so that I don't cheat myself on this. The lady at the local house was incredibly nice to me when I met her, and I don't trust AA.

            Yeah any group or person you have available and trust the support they can give you. That's what's important.

              We'll see what they've got. The Catholic Workers seem legit though. I haven't been immediately dogwhistled at yet like I was in a couple DSA chapters. I'm not a big fan of the Christian aesthetics, but I think these people might be legit. If Scahill can vouch for and live with them, I think I can trust them.

      Yeah, it especially sucks at the beginning. You got this, comrade :solidarity:
