hey guys, here's a little about my journey. i came into recovery in my late 20s. assumeing alcohol to be my main problem i spent many years in aa ,a good program but not enough for me as i am truly an addict and it took a few small relapses on what i considered safe drugs as i didnt like them to wake me up. my life very quickly became unmanagable and when i sought answers i was led to NA. besides realizeing very quickly i needed to be "completely" clean i also had too remove my self from a number of practiseing addicts that had far too much power in my life. i was in denial about my own disease and therefore was blind to theirs as well. it was difficult to put it mildly to let go of some close family but the sickness was killing my spirit. for me a relationship with my higher power must be sought with absolute diligence on a daily basis. as a recovering addict as opposed to alcoholic my character defects seem to be much more lethal so i work harder for my recovery. i focus very much on "just for today" cause any more than that freaks me out. i have a lot of responsibilities today, so much more to lose if i dont stay clean. i came in with nothing, no home no job ect. now i am raiseing a child alone we have a decent place and just for today all is well. thanks for your support. love you guys!
