just registered - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

kevin · 12-08-2006, 10:49 AM

Hi, my name is Kevin and I just registered here. I've been in treatment for about 20 months. Prior to entering treatment I was taking a lot of hallucinogens and also had about 10 years of benzo addiction. Over my 23 years of drug use, the two drugs that have hooked me more than any others are hallucinogens (LSD and shrooms) and alcohol. I spent a month in a 30 day inpatient center, got out and immediately went back to using- just switched back to alcohol and pot, which became bad fast. I then entered an outpatient program that I've been in ever since. I've had a few slips over the last year, but things appear to be getting much better. AA has been a big part of my recovery this year. Anyhow, just thought I'd say hello. Later.

Glad you're here Kevin, and really happy to hear that AA has been a help. Being involved in AA has given me a life beyond my wildest dreams. Keep posting. Look forward to seeing more from you here.
