Hello and Welcome! our first step we admit we are powerless over our addiction and our lives have become unmanageable.We come to total surrender and we get ready to do :some work:Have you tried Narcotics Anonymous!!You can show up,learn about the physical,mental and spiritual devastation that permeates all areas of our lives and our "solution:the steps/traditions /concepts.We are addicts sharing their experience strength and hope with each other,making meetings,getting sponsors who help us through the steps and learn to love ourselves again.We will also love you until you can love yourself.No bigI's or little U's here,just therapeutic value of one addict helping anonther.Stick around and others will be on to talk with you.You can also google www.na.org for more information about our program.Learn Who's an Addict/Why we are Here/How it works.what is Narcotics Program etc...I firmly believe nothing takes place of face to face meetings though.Hope to hear back from you...c'mon in from the storm!!!

i will and have been looking at different websites. anything so i can start talking about it. i am a mess and no longer feel i have controll of my life. it is time to stop. it is the scariest thing i have had to deal with so far.
I so agree with Mike.... Keep coming back and remember one day at a time..... Don't dwell on the past, don't project into the future, just focus on staying clean today......
Admitting you have a problem is the beginning of recovery. There is hope and help at your nearest NA meeting. I did outpatient treatment combined with NA meeting attendance. I have been going to meetings ever since, and staying clean.
i have found a dr that will help. I am looking into local aa meetings too . anything to keep my mind busy. i dont know where there is local na meetings. i am sure they are out there. I haven't told my mom but have admitted it to friends. and myself. I am so scared. I hate the way it feels inside even though i know i am going to be ok when i get to the other side.
google www.na.org for meetings in your area.Good idea ,get with people working a program of recovery ,can't go wrong with that for a start! We were all "to say the least apprehensive,skeptical and broken when we showed up but you will feel the love by sharing honestly or listening intently and taking suggestions.Let us know ;)
