Hi all,

just putting myself out there and asking for advice. I’ve been struggling for as long as I remember and over the last 5-6 years or so it has been terrible. I’ve promised myself a thousand times this will be the time I’ll stop. I joined GYE couple years ago but forgot about it. As a last ditch effort before I come to terms with the fact that rehab may be the only option, I’m reaching out on here. Friends, family, business, time, money have all taken a back seat to my addiction and it’s eating me up inside. 

im posting this hoping it’ll start a thread of people who have had any amount of success against this struggle, to post tips on how to help. Also anyone who can reach out to me personally to give some advice or help me out would be greatly appreciated. 

thanks all. 

here’s to the first day of the rest of my life.

Welcome! For a quick boost of chizuk, some tips, and the realization that you can bust out of this, please read Vehkam's thread:

It's amazing!

Great free resources:
