5 years today!  Thanks to all of those who listen to my ranting and raving, accept me for who I am (character defects and all) and have shown me a new way to live!  I am truly grateful!  I love the program of Narcotics Anonymous.  It not only saved my life, it GAVE ME A LIFE!  :)  

I entered this program, not knowing if this was the right place: I didn't have to serve time, I didn't have any kids to be taken away from me, I didn't have any real dire consequences hanging over my head or someone telling me to quit, and I never explored any other drugs other than alcohol, pot, and mushrooms.  I came in because I'd lost something even greater than that: myself.

I was told that it didn't matter what I used or how much I used.  That was freeing.  I had a hard time identifying with other addicts who used "hard" drugs, as I'd never really been there.  I realized that the focus of NA is on the disease of addiction and we focus primarily on RECOVERY in our meetings... boy did I feel that sense of unity!

I've come quite a way in my first 5 years.   I'm excited to see what happens over the next!

Got a sponsor, worked the steps, went to meetings, and got involved. Most of all, I didn't use! :)
