Hi im new at reaching out to stay clean. I have been clean for a length of time then i get scared and use again. I have no support system around me, I have very bad anxiety attacks so that stops me from going to meetings around where i live. I thought this was a good way to start. I have been through the rehab and outpt. My family does not beleave in addiction, so they are out of the pic. Hope to get something out of this to help me stay clean, i know its our decision what we do in life but i also have so called friends i met in rehab that want to use all the time i thats all i hear. I have been trying to stay away from them. thank you for letting me vent.. Kelly

It's ok to get anxiety attacks at meetings, I still do on rare occasions smile.gif

And rarely have I seen an addict clean up and walk into a meeting room without anxiety... it's part of the natural process of most of the newcomers...

I was diagnosed social phobic and was under medication for 3-4 years by the time I walked into the NA rooms. It was very difficult for me to do that, to face people without the help of drugs, but I did it anyway, it gets better the more you make meetings, just a few handful of such meetings will start making you relax I'm sure...

Welcome to MIP (Miracles In Progress family), that's what I call this group. This has been a great support for me, being part of this group here through this message board for a few years now. Keep coming back Kelly, we all need each other.

Hi Kelly, Welcome! I think you will find the support and friendship you need here. I have and believe me I had hardly any hope I would! But I did! So there you go, as Tahir says there are miracles in progress here.
Good Luck, emily

hi my name is della and it was reallly hard for me to reach out in the begining also. One thing that I did have was a wonderful father who never gave up on me. My story is sooooooooooooooooo long and detailed, lots of heartache and pain.Just a small token of advice if you keep all that "crap" in it hurts worse. I love talking with people about addiction and jut how cunning the disease is.Maybe I can help you out in some way.If ya need me......dellamay@yahoo.com!!! also its been a while since I have had access to a computer in my home. I usewd to get on line into the live chat rooms, but every one i look up now says I need to download something called "JAVA" not a whiz on computers can ya help me with this one? maybe we could talk more that way as well. hang in there.   lol Dell
