Hi Ashley and welcome to MIP! I am an addict named Mike.Our first step in NA says we admitted we were powerless over our addiction(using when we don't want to.obsessed /compulsed with thoughts of using etc)and are lives have become unmanageable.Does it ring a bell?If so c'mon in,WE have a program for people who want it ,not necessairly need it .WE suggest making a meeting,listening for a sponsor,taking some numbers ,get connected and keep coming back.The healing begins when we put down the substance.Glad you showed up here,we are here for each other.Stick around,listen and follow suggestions and begin a new way of LIFE.WE can truly identify......Hope to hear more from ya!!!

Glad you're here. NA is for people who have problems with addiction to drugs. Last time I checked, amphetamines are drugs, so if you think you have a problem, you belong. Online forums like this one are helpful but the best way to get help is to go to some in-person meetings. Hope you find one in your area and check it out. Getting involved in NA recovery saved my life and could save yours.
Hi Ashley, Welcome to our little recovery corner. Taking drugs when you don't want to is a sure sign of addiction. "Will power" has failed us, so we sought help from each other in Narcotics Anonymous. Going to a meeting is a good start. Introduce yourself, ask for help and talk to women who can share their experience with you. If your shy about going to a meeting then go to NA.org and follow the links to find the helpline for your area. You may have to leave a message but someone will get back to you. Ask to speak to a woman and tell her how you feel. I think you may find that many many others have gone through situations and feelings very similar to what you are experienceing. The only promise that NA makes is that "an addict, any addict can stop using drugs and lose the desire to use" This was true for me and it can be true for you too" peace.
Hi Ashley,You've done the first thing you admitted you were powerless over you're addiction.That is why NA can be of help.Get out to some local NA meetings,they will help,meet people,get phone numbers for support,find a sponsor person,but most of all don't use.
We are not interested in what or how much you used or who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how much or how little you have, but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help. The newcomer is the most important person at any meeting, because we can only keep what we have by giving it away. We have learned from our group experience that those who keep coming to our meetings regularly stay clean.
