Back to life after abuse of drugs & alcohol

Since my parents divorce and family conflict back when I was in my early teens, I've been struggling with depression and anxiety. After my grandfather died of cancer, I lost my last hope for a normal happy life, This led to years of abuse and addiction of alcohol and drugs of all kinds. I tried many things to get my life back on track but it was only after my family got me into a real rehabilitation center in 2021, that I finally got the help I needed to get out of my dark and destructive habits. 6 weeks of intense work with therapy was what I needed. I've met a lot of people in rehab and heard a lot of stories, many sounded very familiar to what I have been dealing with and I realized just how many people suffered in the same way I did and that it was normal to feel and do the things I've done to cope with my chaotic reality.

If you don't think people can change, talk to someone in recovery, listen to their story, they will blow your mind.

I've been sober since March 21. 2021.

Alchol was a gateway to harder substances like amphetamine, cocaine and morfin, which I also haven't touched since I came out.

AA

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a global, peer-led mutual-aid fellowship dedicated to abstinence-based recovery from alcoholism through its spiritually inclined twelve-step program.[1] AA's Twelve Traditions stress anonymity and the lack of a governing hierarchy, and establish AA as free to all, non-promotional, non-professional, unaffiliated, non-denominational, and apolitical. In 2021, AA reported a presence in approximately 180 countries with nearly two million members—73% in the United States and Canada.

AA dates its beginning to Bill Wilson's (Bill W.) and Bob Smith's (Dr. Bob) first commiseration alcoholic-to-alcoholic in 1935. Meeting through the Christian revivalist Oxford Group, they and other alcoholics helped each other until forming what became AA. In 1939, the new fellowship published Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism. The amended sub-title in later editions referred to “Thousands of Men and Women”. Debuting AA's 12 steps, it is informally known as the “Big Book”. It is also the origin of AA's name

NA

Narcotics Anonymous (NA), founded in 1953, describes itself as a "nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem."[1] Narcotics Anonymous uses a 12-step model developed for people with varied substance use disorders[2] and is the second-largest 12-step organization,[3] after 12-step pioneer Alcoholics Anonymous.
As of May 2018 there were more than 70,000 NA meetings in 144 countries.
According to the Basic Text, Narcotics Anonymous "has no opinion on outside issues," including those of politics, science or medicine, and does not endorse any outside organization or institution. The fellowship does not promote itself, but rather attracts new members through public information and outreach. Individuals can also be compelled to attend by courts or rehab programs.[7] NA groups and areas supply outside organizations with factual information regarding the NA program, and individual members may carry the NA message to hospitals and institutions, such as treatment centers and jails.[8]
