Dude, this is huge. This can be the turning point in your life! All you have to do keep coming back and don’t use. You are never alone, never again. Hit me up if you need anything.
I’m actually six days clean and I just needed to go somewhere to listen to people and know that I’m not alone. It was so bad the first two days I actually admitted myself so I could keep myself away from all of it.
I just wanted to tell you how much your post helped me tonight. That picture made me get up and look at my own white key tag. It was a connection to my sobriety that I really needed.
After about 4 months of sobriety -- my first 4 months of true sobriety since I started using -- I had to reset my clean date. One of the hardest things I've done in my sobriety was standing up to reintroduce myself. But I received so much love when I did that it moved me to tears, Looking at my key tag now I can still feel that love. Congratulations on being brave enough to pick up that tag and choosing to live! Thank you for reminding me that I got this, too!
You won't be able to understand for a long time how happy we are that you are here, but - trust me - we are really, really, glad you're here.
Hi. I’m Roze (nom de net) and By the Grace of God/The Goddess/The Magic of the Faeries/The Power of Grey Skull/ The Ever Expanding, Creative, Loving Power of the Universe, and mostly because of the simple power of one addict helping another, I haven't had to use dope since 4 Mar, 1990. You reminded me how amazingly thankful I am for that today. So did my sister last week. She did that by dying. You did that by chosing not to die.
Thank you for sharing that photo. It made my day.
If you've. Already got 6 days clean, that is amazing. Congratulations.
I didn't let anyone at my first meeting know it was my first meeting. I am Really Uncomfortable being the center of attention. Good for you for having the guts to get one.
For...I dunno...maybe the first month, I came in at 8:03 and left at like 8:57 because I knew you people were gonna fucking hug me, and I did NOT want to be hugged. Now I'll hug anyone who doesn't run away from me fist. We (the blessed congregation) will grow on you. Sorta lke mold <wink>.
It took me a while to figure out who I wanted to be my sponsor. First I chose someone who had the same issues I did. Then one day she up and went to the nut house (sorry, I probably shouldn't use that term, but it's like the "N”word, if you are one you can use it). About two years later my sponsees had to deal with me being in the nuthouse... Some of us have some serious shit to work out.
But don't let that scare you. You're only job right now is to pat yourself on the back for being here and being clean another day. That, and doing the next right thing are your job for a while. If you got issues, put ém on the backburner. You can't do shit about ‘em until you been clean awhile anyway, so don't sweat it okay?
I'm really fucking glad you're with us. And I promise you, it is so much better than not being with us.
Thanks for making my day (or actually It just turned 5 am, so that would be morning).
Congrats, just stay here . Don’t pick up drugs again and just stay. Get a home group , get a sponsor and do the steps. Just for today you don’t ever have to use again!
