Just got my white key tag. First NA meeting. Gotta long road ahead, just gotta put myself in positive places with positive people.

*hugs* proud of you sweetheart!!

Yes, you do. Be careful you don't replace one addiction with another. If you live your life in the rooms you will separate yourself from the rest of the world. Stay clean, and fight for that balance to live in the world... not in the rooms. I've seen it happen so much, just be careful.

Yup, nothing changes if nothing changes.

Oh, yeah i deffinately realise that stopping use is just one of many things that has to change for everything to truly change.

Have faith. It can be done. Ive been clean over ten years. Cant tell by looking at me that I was a user. Anyway as you can see I did replace one addiction with another. FOOD. Beware of the evil Reesecups. LOL

3 years clean here

sending love

Congrats and continued success

I did so well for so long w/out any help just not doing it but I've learned w/out the support and constantly being around it eventually it gets to us. and it was damn near like picking up where i left off different drugs different problems, but trying to find the same answer that i realize was never the right answer

If you want to make it- Do everything they suggest, starting with 90 meetings in 90 days. If you find yourself not wanting to go, thats when you really need to go . If you dont like one meeting for some reason, search for one more to your liking.

After you watch people for a few weeks, pick the person (male) who impresses you most,with thier clean time and speaking
and ask them them if they will sponsor you. Just a suggestion, but, remeber what I said about suggestions?
I wont wish you good luck, cause luck has nothing to do with it-
Love,

Good job picking up the white key tag...I got my first white tag in '05 and I had to get another in '09. Nine months clean now and finally doing better because I have been following every suggestion given this time and the most important one is...recovery has to come first...and I can finally say that it does this time around. I do not want to go back to where I was and what I was when using. So...do follow all suggestions...work those steps...do service work...and keep coming back it works it if you work it.

Hugs to all you recovering addicts out there...peace and love
