Serena333 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I hope it's possible to quit alone. I live alone, and don't have any close friends. My sisters live in town but we aren't close. Can anybody relate to this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAwesome Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think you will find that most of us quit "alone" even when we have friends and/or family nearby. The others don't understand... you are among friends here. You are not alone. We are here for you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catw66 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I think it is better to be alone while quitting. Last time I quit two years ago, I was around my mother who knew damn well what I was going through but kept bothering me to do things I had no energy to do. No one gets it who has not been there. Easier to be alone and take care of yourself, I think. Not only that, as I was tapering this time from prescribed Adderall for depression and fatigue (again it made both things worse over time), my mother thought to tell me maybe it's not the Adderall....Like she never heard a thing I went through before. I got back on it due to moving to a place with low light levels in winter and I got desperate and the help turned into long term suffering and fear of getting off of it again. Good luck!

Doge Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 i quit alone. only people i saw were coworkers at work (who mostly left me alone due to the nature of my job) and a friend i randomly went to a pub brodate with every couple weekssometimes it would have been nice to have significatn other around for support, but who knows if the relationship could have survived this quit, and dealing with a breakup could likely force a relapse idk what is better honestly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyStupid Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 sometimes it would have been nice to have significatn other around for support, but who knows if the relationship could have survived this quit, and dealing with a breakup could likely force a relapse my ex-girlfriend supported me through the first time i tried to quit- but i think the process of seeing me at my worst left a lasting scar on our relationship which ultimately cemented her decision to break it off. i also fucked up by relapsing after a few months.. i can say for sure that after the break up i went on a bender to end all benders and it all started up again.
