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 💕

SXE Zine Call
Details below
If you have art, poetry, music, manifestos, thinkpieces, or anything Straight Edge related that you would like to share, please consider contributing! Any profits will be going to charity.
Not in the South West UK? That's okay! Send a message anyway, I want to hear from you too. This Zine is based in Bath, but I would love to hear from any Straight Edge individual from anywhere.
Not Straight Edge? Also okay- more political rebellion is to be had beyond SXE, though the first issue I wish to be SXE-centric, there will be more. If you were Straight Edge in the past, I would love to hear from you too.

For a past few weeks, or maybe months, i had this nostalgic desire to repeat my past. It was annoying.
A few days ago, I found pictures of me in active addiction. And I looked at the old me, without any resentment, thanking her for keeping me alive long enough for me to start living again.
I felt genuine love for the part of me i always thought was completely unlovable. I felt pure love for everything that made me who i am.
I felt the love i always deserved.
That feeling made me understand, that being soft and kind is always much braver, than being hard and cold. I think i smiled. And just like that, i felt complete.
Just like that, i knew that i am worth staying for.

I've done it all - attended Alcoholics Anonymous twice a day, five days a week. Memorized the fourth edition of the "Big Book" from cover to cover. Admitted myself into two different rehabs, staying 60 days each time.
What has ultimately kept me sober from drinking is confiding in my therapist and taking a combination of Acamprosate and Naltrexone twice a day to curb alcohol cravings.
I drank heavily for nearly two decades, and frankly have the experience and genetic predisposition to confirm that addiction is not a choice.
But sobriety and self-care are.

My anxiety
stays deep inside of me
when i'm just trying,
trying to stay in my sobriety,
trying to make them proud of me
hopin' they'll see
what addictions done to me,
left me in a corrupt society
clinging onto sobriety,
when recovery has no guarentee
yet i'm trying so hard,
with everything inside of me.

One thing I've noticed since I gave up smoking and drinking is that the bags under my eyes look way better, I don't look like a raccoon all the time lol
