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....

You are so inspirational, and you have so much on your plate right now and getting up and going and even speaking at your 1st meeting!! Wow, you need 100 more gold stars!!!

so happy to hear you attended an N/A meeting, it does take a lot of courage at first, but it is such a great support group. i hope you continue to go. best of luck to ya.

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,
