New here - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

PEG48 · 11-01-2005, 01:44 PM

Today is my first day on this forum. I have been a member of a Naranon forum since July, but it seems to have crashed. It has been down for several days and I feel very lost without others to talk and share with.

I have been married for 9 years to a crack / cocaine addict, but am trying harder than ever before to break this cycle. I love him, he's a good man at heart, but I can't take his addiction any longer.

We have no children together, thank God, but I still can't seem to leave him! I know I'm in an addictive relationship. I have just recently began to pursue recovery for myself and have gone to one open meeting.

I'm still not sure how it all works - the steps, working them in my life, etc.

I hope I can begin to feel a part of this group as much as I did the other one.

Thanks, Peg

Peg, I have not been here long but have found it to be a very green and welcoming oasis to visit. You are not here by mistake. Welcome

Peg, I'm busy at work but, wanted to welcome you to SR. You'll find support and encouragment here. I was addicted to alcohol but, this proveds another side of the coin to us both. We can learn from each other. There are a few forums that are more directly involved with your issues. However, we are sort of a family here and , many go onto different boards. Welcome!

Peg!

Slowly, I see familiar faces popping up (I was a regular on the other board, as well).

Glad you made it here - just like meetings, one goes down, another is waiting, door open, coffee on.

I'll echo what you probably know by heart now:

Go to meetings! Get a sponsor! Work the steps!

Peace & Love,
Sugah (aka Jody)
