It's so great that you're using your past/wisdom to help people going through hardships.
thank you so much! its both heartbreaking and rewarding at the same time. theres a reason why im still here when so many are not anymore. so i just want to help :)
Have you found the 12 steps of NA to be a useful tool for your recovery?
honsestly in early recovery i did, but now the 12 steps dont help me, Its more the support of my family that get me thru now.
That's so great that you have family that have stood by you, the stigmas of addiction can cause people to not support you.
It took my parents a long time. Their old school. They had to love me from afar because they couldnt just watch me slowly kill myself. at on point i didnt see them for almost 20 years. My recovery has brought my family back to me. I already lost so much time with them ya know
Yes, but that's great that not only are you doing better, but you have your family back, it's a win win, and really good for you cause there's an increase in successful sobriety with family support.
i 1000% agree. I think the only thing that let me stay sober for 4 years was my family letting move close to them once i finished rehab for the 18th time. it was literly my last chance, and i knew i couldnt screw up because my parents are now in their 70s so i might not have had much time left with them.
With drug overdoses on the rise you're lucky you won't be a sad statistic anymore.
Fingers crossed that never happens, ive buried3 people in the past 10 months. its really heartbreaking.  one day at a time right? :)
