Hello Everyone
Posted 08-20-2008 at 11:06 AM by Crystal83
My name is Crystal and I'm new to this site. I've been clean for a few years but I'm having trouble staying that way these days. I have two beeautiful children and a great husband. I love them all very much and I don't want to lose what I have. My husband was sent away with the Military and now it's the kids and I. I miss him a lot but I think the hardest part is being with my children 24/7. I have no help and no matter how much I try I can't seem to keep my duahgter happy. I have been in and out of surgery which is making it even harder to stay away from drugs.

Hi Crystal - welcome!
I'm glad you're reaching out - do you have ANY face to face support at home? Can you get to meetings? It's hard enough staying clean, never mind single parenting 24/7 - if you haven't already, please join us in our Newcomers to Recovery forum.

Thank YouPosted 08-21-2008 at 06:18 AM by Crystal83 - No I don't really have any support. My husband always has helped me out but with him gone it's just my kids and I. My family thinks they know to much nad they make me want drugs even more so I don't talk to them about it. I used to try but get very agrivated. I tried finding somebody to watch my kids so that I could go to a meeting but I wasn't able to find a sitter. With my husband gone and being with my kids all the time I've lost contact with my friends. Most of them don't have children and the ones who do don't raise their kids they way I do and I don't want my kids around things they do or say. I haven't had time to try and make new friends and to be honnest I don't even know where to go to find parents that are "normal" I guess you would say.Posted 08-21-2008 at 06:22 AM by Crystal83
