Hi folks, I'm new to this site my good friend Dalin told me about it. I have been reading some of the posts and you guys sound like the loving and supportive people I meet at NA meetings so I'm gona stick around! Just a little about me, I'm comming up to 16 months clean , have an amazing sponsor who helps me stay focused and moving forward. I love my home group, and am very active with service work. Ok enough braging...lol no realy I am proud of what I have done so far in my recovery. That being said, I'm still having a hard time expressing my emotions. I realize I dont have to get this thing all today , I know it's a process but dam! like a true addict I want it all , and I want it now! I am also a single mother and my 16 year old is in recovery aswell, I'm really proud of him but it's hard sharing the rooms with him and just being a mother in general. Any moms out there that would like to share strugles with me and some hope too? Glad I found you guys and hope to here from some of you soon.
Sandra, great to have you here with us too. Welcome home. Glad that you and your son are both in recovery. My cyberhugs and love to you both. Hope you will get the support and love from this group of kindred spirits just like I got and continue to get... love you and need you here. stay with us.
Hugs and Love ~ Tahir.

hi Sandra! Congrats on the 16 months!! I'm a single mom, my son is 13, but I haven't told him (or any of my family) that I'm an addict, I'm still struggling with accepting the fact myself-I'm starting to feel better, haven't had a pain pill for 5 or 6 days and I'm feeling like "well, now I can do this different, I can have a couple every once in awhile-not let it get out of control"
well, anyways, glad to meet you and I look forward to talking to you some more
welcome !! i too am new here and i love this web site i cant get enough of it . i too am struggling but 16 months is great and i am proud of you.keep it up because i need to hear these good stories and to know there is hope and others like me so i dont feel so alone.
I hope my clean time can help to give you some hope that it can be done, personaly I still feel like a new comer becouse there is so much to learn . I made it this far by doing the things people with some good recovery told me to do, go to a meeting every day, get a home group & get active there, find a sponsor & work the steps with her, have faith in a higher power, get involved in service work and most of all CHANGE my old ways of thinking. So far this has worked for me and I realy do feel like a new person. It might sound like a lot of work but it's all much easer than the things I use to have to do to find means and ways to get more dope. The pay off is just amazing.
Adriana I noticed you mentioned pain meds, well I suffer from cronic pain and have since 1998. Maybe we could help eachother with our struggles with doctors and meds. I have been around the block a few times with this issue and can relate to the feelings around this topic, so drop me a line if you care to share about what you are going through.
Thanks for sharing that, Sandra. Glad we have you here. Hugs and fellowship love.
