Substance Abuse Recovery Thread

Yup ... addiction can strike anyone low. Anyone.

It is what it does. It is when we are low and suffering it hits the most. You know what to do, raise your weary head, wipe the dirt off yourself and keep trying. Hell knows how many relapses I had. Fortunately, nearly 15 years later, it has become kind of a past dream. Still haunts me once or twice a year, but given heroins availability and my breaking of contacts that could suply it, it has been easy to keep on the wagon.

I wonder if someone offered me some in a dark moment if I would fall again. Probably. And then scold myself for that.

Head high Thump.

I'm back on course. I built my rationalization and that justified me getting sidetracked, but support from you guys amongst others is certainly helping me, and lord knows I appreciate it. You guys know where I'm coming from and that means the world to me, because it allows to to face up to a failure without shame. Thank you, and everyone here, so much.

She's doing just fine. Just like with all of us her life goes on, mostly good, some could be better, but she's getting thru it without drinking.

If and when you talk with her again, please give her my regards, and congrats on her continued sobriety. I sure miss her here.
