Hi there. I'm an addict named Theresa. First question: Are you going to meetings? Do you have phone numbers for other addicts in recovery? That's what helps me alot. My husband is incarcerated so I'm alone alot. I attend meetings, chose a home group, and am going to our local NA picnic in a few weeks. I also talk to other recovering addicts on the phone alot. Posting here is a plus too. It's pretty cool to be able to reach out and share with people from all over. Hang in there!
I joined the gym and started getting out and doing things so I wouldn't be so lonely ALL the time. I mingled with others went to school for a bit and slowly got used to being with others clean.
Meetings are very improtant we get hooked up hopefully in a support group and its like therapy for us, plus might meet some nice people I have and i've met some weird ones LOL but even the weird ones have the message of hope.
