Sharing my Struggle 05 Dec 2024 18:47 #426587

I've been struggling for a while, trying to go clean. But feel like I have no one to talk to about it because I'm embarrassed. So I'm turning to you.
I'm a 22 year old bochur from the tri-state area. I've been struggling with P since I was 15. I signed up for GYE almost 2 years ago. In the beginning, I was committed & motivated, began the journey to sobriety, stayed clean for weeks at a time. But then eventually fell back into destructive habits. Help me return to the path of recovery

Hey there fellow single struggling, nice to have another bachur on bored.

Yes it's really painful being in the battle without anyone to talk to about it. That's where GYE comes in. A warm family that won't judge you for what your doing. Reach out to someone, it is an amazing step just to talk it out with someone real. As @Muttel wrote, a great place to start is HHM, michelgelner@gmail.com, he will help guide you moving forward.
