I celebrated ten years clean in April. It seems so surreal. This message board has been in my life since the beginnng. I'm so grateful for the experience, strength, and hope you've all given me. I know i haven't been active on here in years, but know I think of many of you often.
I live a fairly isolated life, by comparison to when I first came in the rooms. I've been driving truck with my significant other for the past few years and, while it's a very rewarding job, I really miss having recovery people around all the time. It seems that my quality of recovery has diminished in some ways but grown in others.
Ultimately, I need each and every one of you fellow addicts. Without the recognition of shared experiences, one addict by themselves can truly be a wreck!
