Hello all!
(Preview)
I've been curious about NA message boards and chat rooms for a long time and decided that this looked like a good place to start. I will probably do more reading then posting at first to get a feel for the site and to get to know about the members. It is good to be here!
Peace, Christine

THE FACES OF "DENIAL"

Sometimes.....when I feel like I'm slipping down the HUGE mountain of DENIAL with overwhelming thoughts of insecurity and doubt......doubt as to whether I can really beat this disease......I remind myself with these words that....the battle lies within myself and "I" ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE........
