Welcome to your new life~
The reality for me is I will always have access. It's rampant where I'm from. It's always a phone call away. But it's on me to not call. I've talked about this with my family and why we think the random drug tests should be used
Should I test positive then it's inpatient which would cost me my career
Welcome back
I have been struggling to stay clean for close to 2 years as well and I understand how hellish it is.
It sounds like you have a great support system in place.
Thanks for posting.
Glad to see ya back keep posting and stay close asking for help is hard to do but you did it! And on your way to a better you.
Welcome back! Absolutely courageous of you to reach out...
How easy is it for you to obtain opiates? What have you done to eliminate your sources? It's very important for your plan to have those doors closed and locked and you didn't mention anything about it...
This is entirely doable so please believe in that and let us help in any way. Are you in withdrawal right now? Or clean? Keep posting-
Sure am glad I read this before heading to bed tonight! It was like reading a "present with a giant bow on top"!!! LOL
Welcome, welcome back....your post and your plan is just amazing!
The same sentence that stuck out to ABN jumped out at me too:
"Asking for help is not weak, it's the most courageous thing I could do."
I am totally jazzed you've come to this...your final line says it all:
"I'm now willing to do whatever it takes!"
We'll be here for you all the way......I love your NEW ATTITUDE :):)

Vida you know you always have my support, for what it's worth. Your plan sounds awesome! I like the part about taking time to pray and of course surrendering. Meeting every day ... wow! hardcore! you sound like you are focused and intent on doing it. but I know only too well that we gotta put it into action. please know I am never here to judge. let me know if there is anything I can do. I'm here for you! --Meeg
Just wanted to offer some support, sending lots of warm wishes your way.
Funny how my addiction and misconceptions convinced me that everything I needed was being weak when in reality it was the opposite
Thanks for the support
"Asking for help is not weak, it's the most courageous thing I could do."
That's wassup!
Welcome back home! If you look in your NA book under the relapse chapter around the end of the chapter you'll find it says: "It is not shameful to relapse—the shame is in not coming back. We must smash the illusion that we can do it alone." It takes courage to come back.
Bienvenido y Felicidades!!! You can do it!!! Un dia al vez!
PorVida, welcome back! You already know the drill, just follow through and do what your supposed to do. we're here to help you. Coming clean with everyone is the best thing you could do . Have you cut all ties to drugs, told all you doctors, dentist and such? Keep posting, venting, crying what ever it takes. Be proud of yourself for taking this step! God Bless
