went to my first N.A meeting

was realling feeling crazy today went to work for a client that had tramadol which I never used I looked at them but did not take any but I had such craving today when i got home I just wanted pills and lots of them and i was so angry so i decided to go to my first N.A meeting and it really did help to be in aroom full of ppl who are or were where I am at first meeting i even spoke and admit I was a drug addict and that I wanted drugs really bad at that moment and it felt good to get understanding and welcome and love from fellow addicts in person I encourage all to go to one

Thank you again for the encouragement...I sooooo need to go...my problem however is not being shy...I'm a very good public speaker...I even hold assemblies someimes at my job...mine is legal..job and children I would lose if anyone knew about this....soooo hence the importance of anonymity...Med Help = Godsend to me...I am 100% myself here though and that's important for staying sober. Following/listening to everyone's suggestions and ideas is key..Outside ideas and support are imperative..So, in due time I will go. Meantime...it's me and you guys against the world....

Glad to hear the meeting went well, and I'm glad you resisted the temptation of the tramadol...we know what gundo went through...I would love to go to those meetings, toxic is always encouraging them. I'm not in a possition yet to go public with this, however, someday I will be and I intend on attending support groups when I can...good for you. I envy you. Go to bed, it's late here in Cali. 2morrow is a new day!
Take Care,
Newgirl
