First of all, I know that my son has used marijuana in the past. I was in his room today on is computer and found in his google history all these questions on where to find pain pills, DXM and how much to use to make you high. Where to find drug kits, etc. I know I have to confront him about this and will. I kno...

Hi, Everyone, Been a couple days since I visited the Board, so this is my check in. Got a phone call Thursday from a guy I sponsor but haven't heard from for a few weeks. OK, many weeks. He suffers from depression and mental issues, in addition to addiction. I have tried to keep the door open by calling him o...

Had a conversation tonight with an addict who admitted that he knows using will kill him, but that it is something he has accepted and uses anyway. He said that he was never happy with or without drugs, but that using was worth the consequences- even death. I was never in that frame of mind, but wondered...

I recently decided to leave a debate message board I was posting on for nearly a decade. It brought out a lot of my character defects and I made a decision to remove toxic stuff from my life, a piece at a time... It was, however, a HUGE time suck for me and I miss messaging with people and the time I spent doin...

Do you do it? How? What do you do? I went to a convention in League City, TX over the weekend and heard a speaker, he has THIRTY-SEVEN years clean! His story is told in the basic text. Anyway, he was talking about meditation and I was SO grateful to hear him say that it's NOT about getting your mind to go b...

Well, not a wonderful day for me but I'm amazingly OK. I mentioned yesterday that it was a tenuous day for my S/O with getting paid and his history of relapse. Sadly, he didn't make it through. He left to go to a meeting at around 7 last night... Didn't see him again until around 4 AM when he came and pick...
