Have you ever had a day where you woke up and things didn't seem to be looking up for you. It's a long hard struggle you have no one to talk to no one to call on just you. In this world of people but you've been isolated for so long it's hard to speak up or speak out, it's hard to give or get a hug, it's hard to say over a and over when you go to the meeting I'm looking for a sponcer. I need help I'm asking for help I'm reading my books I do believe in God cause if I didn't I would pick up from where I started from but I need people in my life I need someone to asure me that I to can make it. Hi Ned and I'm a addict. Thanks for letting me share
Congratulations Ned! You've made it to this moment and thats wonderful and I for one am very proud for you!
When we transition from believing in God to trusting in God, the forward movement of our recovery gets whole lot more noticeable as little kisses from Heaven will begin to lighten your path along the steps!
You can make it! kd

Hi Ned,, My name is Raman and Im an addict.. Believe me, Ive had those days too.
Sometimes, being a single father, being kind to my dependent mother, being a musician and not really being in a secure job, not being able to regularly exercise, though I know it's very good for me, being un-able to some feelings I feel at times, being the only breadwinner at home, being at age 50,,,,,,, being single, without a wife/girlfriend at 50,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, all this can overwhelm me at times and I get depressed.
Sometimes, to escape that depression and fear, I get angry. When I blow up at someone or get very resentful after that, that's when the craving/obssession/desire/urge to use gets thick.....
Saying the Serenity Prayer or the Third Step Prayer or Mantra gets Higher Power back into the scene.....and using thoughts and visualizations disappear.
That's exactly what Ive learnt about what works in the NA Program.

Thank you I will keep trying until I do I really just needed someone to hear me so Thank you I may give out somtimes but i refuse to give up. Thanks alot
It sucks when you ask someone to be your sponsor and for the sake of their own recovery they have to decline. It was suggested to me to pray that my sponsor is revealed to me. It worked. Prayers for your recovery
