Wlcome Gabby,, nice to have you here. Ive covered my entire story in the section where they show our bio-data, just click on my name in this post....
And once her, recovery's been a "long and winding road"...
The journey has been the destination, full of adventure, joys and sorrows, rials and tribulations and all...
Sometimes i think "What if NA had been there when i was a teen or early adulthood ?"
I accepted that sa a fact of life and the magis is this; when I have sinciere desire to change, life repeats otself and gives me the same opportunities again,,,,
with NA friends and God, Ive had those chances again and am now living the dream....
Stay Blessed,,,

I didn't do drugs for that long. My first drug was alcohol at age 12. I didn't really start using intensely until age 17. I used hard from 17 until about almost 22, when I started going to NA meetings with a former using buddy who had about had gotten clean through drug treatment. He eventually became my first sponsor and the rest is history. I didn't use as much as some other people or for as long a time, but I knew that I had used enough and I was ready to get honest, surrender and try something different.
