returning home


Hi everyone I am just returnig from rehab since i have returned i have managed to lose my apartment,a job, and most of my hope.I have been tring to attened meetings but it is such a problem for me when i have to take my kids  they end up being loud,people are looking at me,and I don't really get to hear the meeting at all. Right now we have moved back in with my mother and it is just really hard for allof us to live under this one roof .My mom works all night then my kids wake her up at the crack of dawn so she is mad for the rest of the day which causes stress in my life. I think I need to work on my contact with god . If anyone eles has any ideals please help thank you.

oh God,,,,what a situation !!!!


Basically you shouldnt blame yourself for the havoc 9n your house !!


Moms can be difficult at times,, but remember the madness they went thru in our addiction !!


So thats why NA offers you a new look at even the way you will recover,,,


recovery is the most important thing for us addicts and if we have to settle down to meetings on phone,internet and mail,,, so be it,,, as long as it works !!!

Welcome!!I have 3 kids and I am 16 mo clean now.  Mu husband is in recovery.  We had to take our kids to meetings!  We had no choice cause recovery must come first.  I have had people in the rooms who werent thrilled with it, but I couldnt let that chase me out.  I first came in with an 8 mo old and a 2 1/2 year old-not easy to take them.  We relapsed and when I came back they were 1 and 3.  The last relapse they were 2-4 and one on the way. I know it is not easy, but it is necessary.  Im sure that people would rather see them there than in the back of my car while picking up or in a crack house. If I dont continue to recover, my kids will not have a mother at all.  Ask for help if you need it.  Maybe someone would be willing to help you.  A lot of people take their kids around here and we all help out when we can. The consequences of active addiction are no fun.  Im sure that living at your moms is no picnic! I had to live with my grandmother when we first got clean.  I HATED it but got through it.  The hope is that we have a place of our own today. Actually I gained a lot of practice with spiritual principles and I learned so much from it. In a way it was a blessing.  God knew what he was doing.  Im sure that being at your moms must be better than living with your children in the streets (at least for them) Thank god you are here and welcome.  Feel free to email anytime if you want

Left Behind,
Personally. I enjoy seeing children at the meetings. A little noisy or rowdy, oh well-live with it! We have a womens meeting in Lincoln where they take turns providing child care for each other. I have seen some children grow into wonderful young adults, attending meetings with their parents from a young age. I kind of wish I had been exposed earlier in my life. Remeber to not only pray, but to listen for the answers.
