My fall was that...not using...going.to meetings...staying focused on self. Allowing.myself to.feel.emotions...proud of.sobriety.
this was a wonderful post..it made the tears flow....
i came here not thinking i was an addict...just googles to see how much damage i may be doing to myself...but after reading post after post after post....my eyes were wide opend...because i was shocked to find out i was an addict...never in a million years would i have thought this would be...that i would be here...the only comfort i have found out of all or this is knowing...i am not alone..we are not alone....and we have eachother....
thank you bama...
beautiful post, thanks for sharing! I KNOW I would be using if it werent for the support of all of you! and I am SO thankful for each and everyone of your inspiring words.!
How are doing after your "blip" on the radar?
We find our ways here by the powers to Be...and the one question/emotion i see as.a.pattern is the shame in all.of this..
Along with an empty feeling. We get very lonely. Almost out of touch...even those of.us with families...
We feel like.we.will be tried prosicuted and.stamped a druggie forever if we come.forward with a disease that carries mch stigma..yets its the number one addiction problem in america....pills. So theres millions of us battling everyday...we are not alone..
What a wonderful post Bama....We all have it in us to dig deep and do what it takes to live a clean and sober life. It's amazing the power that a group of addicts can have on another when they come here looking for the support they so desperately need. We realize we can't do this on our own. This forum is a wonderful place and has saved so many lives. It's hard saying where I would be without each and every person here. I owe my life to everyone here. Every post I have read has had some form of impact on me and helps give me the strength to live another day clean.
We share a special bond that nobody else can understand. Together we can get through this and we will succeed.
Congrats on your new life! I'm proud of you.
