This community is a place to share information and support with others who are trying to stop using drugs, prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other addictive substances. Discuss with others, the symptoms of addiction, addiction recovery, ways to quit like tapering and cold turkey, and withdrawal symptoms. If you are interested in general "chat", please visit our
Addiction Social Community.
From now on, I will only post reguarding current questions and comments.
There is a saying in AA:
If you have 1 foot in today,
and 1 foot in tomorrow,
You're pissing all over today.
Thanks and good luck everyone!
no hard feelings and yes it is a learning experience for us all, we are all trying to "find our way" while we may be taking different paths to get there, we are trying to get to the same place. i'm off to bed, hopefully to get some sleep.
tomorrow will be a GOOD DAY!!!
Good Night
People are hurting, there depressed, there in pain, there in W/Ds, there lonely, they feel guilt.
I didn't take your words as harsh even though they were not directed at me.
I have been sober a year and wouldnt dare put my self above anyone here.
I remember when I was there very clearly, I also know what it takes for recovery. It is very nice when I go to NA meetings that I can announce myself as a recovering addict.
My journey has been long to recovery addiction is so frigging powerful. One thing in NA and AA is you can't force feed anything to anybody you will only drive them away.
When I have been on 12 step duty and we go and save people in a bad way our duty is to get them home or safe and hopefully we will see them at the next meeting.
The big book explains how its done,
Now we can ALL continue to help one another..I think your post was very sincere, graceful with much dignity, and I think we all can appreciate that. I am happy honestly to have seen this all work out.
So I say:
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would you mind sharing with me your story? Or is that too much to handle? I understand if it is...I was just curious and I love to read from everyone's experiences and or stories of their addiction. I find it very helpful and it also gives me a sense of "knowing" the person behind the writing.
If anything, maybe even copy and paste from your past post, or let me know where it is and what it is labled? I am sure it is wayyyy back yonder, LOL.
Again if it will upset you in anyway, I understand if you do not want to share.
Thank you much!
