My name is Richie, I am 28 and I am a recovering addict.
I have a beautiful 2 year old son and four year old daughter and am trying to get better for them.
When I talk to my children every evening they ask me when their Daddy will be coming back home... I do not know what to tell them.
I am currently in Rehab and have been for the past 4 months, however, I recently lost my job.
"Turn Around Recovery," which is the recovery center I am at, is kicking me out due to non-payment.
I am asking from the bottom of my heart for any help to pay "Turn Around." If I do not complete this program and get sober I am facing a lengthy jail sentence. Not to mention my kids may grow up without a daddy.
I can supply all paper work proving that any donations will be going towards this rehab and if desired I can put you intouch directly with the director of "Turn Around"
P.S. If you know of anywhere that can help, this information will be appreciated aswell.
Thank you and God Bless you...

Hi Richie,I am in a simalar boat as you.I just happen to be 28 years old allso. I have a few bucks i could get off of.Tell me where you live,maybe you are not far,,i could meet you. Rosie
Ok cant let you pan handle here no matter what your story is Richie.
You know you just might not belong where you think you belong its time to turn this over to a higher power and see where that takes you, sometimes we have to do what we have to do and sometime other peoples lives are effected in a big way but they will survive as will you as long as you stay clean.
You ought to have a sponsor and run shit past him, get some help with this where your at in your community, get to live meetings and share in those meetings and dont expect anything but understanding and sharing from others experiences, dont expect money , thats often the last thing your going to get, we're dope fiends here and we've played the games, not saying your playing a game but I cant allow what your asking to be on this board.
If you've been in rehab for 4 months, then you must know that staying clean has to be your first priority. If you don't do that, you won't be any good for your kids or your self.
Thanks BIG V, I am an active member of Miracles in Progress,but I come here for different reasons the I do as an active member of "Craigslist" For me,I feel the only solicitation on "this" board is one of sharing ESH with each other in a loving caring manner..I share on another Forum that is being overrun with 'commercials ' also and greatully being handled in a like manner...peace

Our purpose is to remain clean,just for today,and to carry the message of recovery.
I always THINK i know whats best for ME, when they dont go as smoooooth as i want them to i try to change them, I put my full force into making THINGs and situation the way i think they should be , then I have to stop myself, go to God, turn my will and my life BACK OVER, let God uide and direct my life and slow it down , even wait sometimes for a clear indication of what direction I am to take.
EVENTUALLY things become instinctual, we know what we need to do because we've, matured ( To evolve toward or reach full development ), yes thats right we've become aware, we have new behaviors , new attitudes an thats what i call the " psychic change".
