can you attend a meeting near you?

There is a 24 hours help line listed on this Dallas area website, maybe talking to someone on the phone or getting to a meeting of NA. Recovering addicts understand each other and you can remain anonymous.

or maybe post what it is that your going through right now and other members of this forumn may idenify with you and try to help.

Welcome, you came to the right place. We all felt like that in the beginning," I'm fine" and
"I can do this on my own" those are the words that kept us sick, until we found each other and realized that we are not fine and needed someone to talk to about it. Recovery is a WE thing I can not do this alone. Have you tried a NA meeting in your area? The way this recovery thing works is we stop using dope, then we reach out to others who have stopped using dope and we ask them how they do it. Then we listen real hard and try to do some of the things they did to stay clean and learn how to live life without getting high. It's a really simple program and if you read some of the posts here and go to some meetings you will see that it is not only possable to stop using dope but to have a wonderful life as well. I wish you all the best in your journey and welcome you to post here and let us know how we can help you, by doing that you will be helping us. Recovery happens when 2 addicts share there experience strength and hope with one another, so please share with us.

Are you an addict or do you have a problem with drugs? If so you're at the right place.

We are a group of men and women for whom drugs had become a problem in our lives. We try to meet regularly in order to help one another stay clean. The program is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs(including alcohol). The only requirement for NA membership is the 'desire to stop using'. We suggest that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break. The NA program is a set of priniples so simply written that we learn to follow them in our everyday life. The most important thing to remember is that they work.

There are no promises, or pledges to sign and No dues to pay. We're not connected to any political, religious or law enforcement agencies. You are free to join us no matter your religion or lack thereof, age, sexual identity or creed. We don't care what or how much you used, we only care about what 'YOU' want to do about it and how we can help. Being a Newcomer you will find that we tend to make you the most important person because we can only keep what we have by giving it to you. Our experience is those that keep coming to our meetings regularly, stay clean.

Can someone help me please? I am extremely new at this. A week ago I was fine, and now I need help. I am all alone and no one knows. I am in Dallas and really need someone to talk to. What do I do? This is the first place I found online and thought I'd try.

Thanks.

That's the best thing that I could have ever done after my last relapse... crying out "help"... that set me free from the prison of my own mind... opening my mind and reaching out to others in NA has been, and still is, the most rewarding act for me... So easy a way out, all I need to say is "help", yet, so very difficult to say for an addict like me...

Hi Newbee
You're on the right track by asking for help. And you found a great site. Come join us on the chat room. It's a great group of people and you can get a lot of support, questions answered, etc. As everyone else said, meetings are the most important and you'll need to get to those, but you could start by introducing yourself to NA through the chat room, so we can explain about meetings to you and they won't seem intimidating. Step One is "we admitted we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable". You are starting to work that step by crying out for help. "The only requirement for membership is a desire to stay clean", so if you want to stay clean, you can be a member of NA. Come say hello to us. It will be worth it. We're a lot of fun too.
