To All, Regarding this forum!

[Penelope14]

You know when I first came to this forum I had some doubts, I thought how can these people help me? I cant see them, dont know who they are? But as time went by I really felt a conection with all of you, I still cant believe some of the friendships & support I have gotton off this forum, mind blowing!  Many of you have seen me go thru some hard knocks, I had my days of fear, anxiety & many sleepless nights, but looking back I am so grateful to all of you, & Im not gonna name names, I dont want to forget anyone, as their have been many, many great people who have seen me thru my detox. This forum has been just as positve & supportive as my NA meetings, I think the combination only made it that much more successful for me to detox off methadone. I look back to a year ago, & think what a success story I am, I was the girl who thought, I cant! You guys made me feel that I could!   Thank You All!!! Penelope                    P.S 5 days off methadone, & its only getting better!

You are that girl - the great success story - and congratulations!!!:):):)

People really surprise you sometimes by being compassionate and trustworthy, I think addicts feel they don't deserve that, but darn it yes we do!  Good luck girlie:)

Congrats Penelope on 5 days! You have done a great job! Keep going strong and all of this will be in the past before you know it!

I completely agree about this forum. It's a amazing place. It has been a key part for me staying clean. So if anyone new is here and just reading through posts, make sure you post on here. Most people think at first they might just get a few questions answered and then stop coming here. This forum has helped so many and continues to do so. I've seen people come on here just to ask a question about switching medications. Next thing you know they decide to completely quit the meds and look for other means to control their pain. It just goes to show how much encouragement and advice everyone on here offers. Being a part of this forum can change your life. All is takes is one post and you will see how much support you will receive. There are so many wonderful and caring people on here. I thank all of you for being a part of this forum and a part of my life!
