Service and personal recovery
(Preview)

School starts back for me tomorrow. I'm nervous, because I won't have my pills to get through the day, but I think it may help not to be sitting here at home just thinking about using all day (because I've shown myself that that only gets me into trouble!)

not feeling so great...those crazy emotions are running me over again. I thought I was all cried out, but I guess I was wrong. I'm waiting for that feeling of being at home in the meetings, of feeling like it was my "safe place", as another person described it, but it's not. Last night, after the meeting,...

I guess it is really time to make a decision to really wor...
