I’m going tomorrow to stay in a center for people with dual diagnosis (substance abuse + mental illness).
I haven’t been drinking since 9 th of august and wasn’t a “hard drinker,” but I find it difficult to live without “self medication” especially the negative symptoms.
I once in a while relapse to a certain other drug, so I hope they can help me, but a bit worried about the other patients, i’m not used to stay around other “addicts.”
I know the place, at least there is a very scenic and beautiful nature and landscape around the hospital.
Oh yes, i hope so too, thanks, and I hope I can find at least one other patient to talk with, i’m quite open minded so it should be possible, and i look forward to get some physical exercise (there is a well equipped gym)
Thanks, i was addicted twice, and it was very difficult to stop, and now, when i once in a while relapse for a day, i’m risking to get addicted again, so i want to stop entirely… As you propably now. Addiction is lack of personal freedom. I want to be free.
Great with some support @Vertigo,thanks, and yes @Joker , i know what you mean, since i have been sober i have been struggling with social isolation even i have friends who are not addicts.
Hope all goes well and i learn to be social without drugs and alcohol
