If you used to be a heavy drinker & now you just smoke weed! YOURE DOING GREAT

if you used to smoke weed 24/7 and don’t now, but you just have a few beer or drinks every blue moon, YOURE DOING GREAT

if you were a pill head and now on methadone or subs, YOURE DOING GREAT

if you were a down head or a meth head and now you just smoke weed to cope with the side effects those drugs put on ur body for the rest of your life, YOURE DOING GREAT.

If you went cold turkey on everything all at once and never put a single substance in to your body after that, I’m proud of you! You’re doing great!

We are all just doing the best we fucking can!

don’t ever let someone tell your recovery journey isn’t “considered” recovery!

You got this and I am so so proud of you 💕

Student Survey on Alcoholism & Demographic Disparities

Hey everyone! I'm researching an important topic that doesn’t get enough attention: alcoholism and how it impacts different communities.

I'm conducting a survey to better understand the demographic disparities surrounding alcoholism—because let’s be real, this issue doesn’t affect everyone equally. Whether it’s race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or cultural background, these factors can play a huge role in how people experience and cope with alcohol dependency.

📝 Take the survey here: https://montclair.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3QnYK5p85a49fds ⏰ It only takes about 10-15 minutes, and it’s completely anonymous.

The data collected in this survey will be analyzed and presented in a research paper at the end of this semester.

Why should you care?

-🧠 Alcoholism is a complex issue that’s often misunderstood.

-🌈 Marginalized communities face unique challenges that are often overlooked.

-💪 Your input can help shape better resources and policies for those who need them most.

P.S. If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol dependency, please reach out to local resources or hotlines. You’re not alone, and help is out there. 💛

It really hurts me to see my best friend struggle with alcoholism.

Even worse, she refuses to seek out resources to help her or attempt to become sober.

She spreads negativity and vitriol when she should be focusing on her healing journey.

I told her I need space because I don't want to be around her when she's screaming and cursing, and going on rants. I can't deal with that right now.

I'm on my own healing journey right now. I'm focusing on my health, sobriety, spirituality and working toward my academic and career goals.

35 years! I'm forever grateful for this wonderful gift of sobriety.

Loneliness of Ego

When the mind settles, the need to reach for something lessens. In the process the loneliness of ego disappears and it’s simply because an “I” story of ego isn’t being created… The loneliness of ego seems to get wider as one ages, but it doesn’t really, what happens is there are just less distractions so “I” takes more of a hold. The natural process of life seems to be to stay busy trying to…
