recovery

So here i am ... posting on a message board... im not sure what i am going to find here... but i do know this... i am new to recovery... less than a year... nine months to be exact... almost 10... i dont have a way to get to meetings... and dont know where any are... i dont have a whole lot of resources... so i thought that maybe i could find some fellowship here... im a recovering crack/cocaine user... i had a severe habbit for about 6 months... and im going through alot... i sure could use some solid friends...

Welcome from me to.

Have you called your local NA hotline? there will be someone on the other end of the phone to talk to and that can help you not only find meetings, but help you with getting rides to meetings to.

SR is a great place for friendship and support I am glad you found us and GREAT job on making the choice to get clean.

Thanks everyone... im not sure how to use this site... im gonna have to learn it i guess... lol... yeah i have been through alot... i am 24... seperated... my husband and i started smoking crack in june of 2006... we have three kids... (two his one not) ... we got so far into it and i didnt know what to do... we called the state and put the kids in foster care because none of our family would take them. Now he is clean and so am i. but he now has custody of the girls... he got his classes done before me... and now refuses to let me see them. My son moves home in 30 days and i am stressed out really bad. i dont have any family, (my parents passed away when i was young) i dont think i am going to use again at least i dont want to anyways but relapse is always a possibility i guess... i know that if i dont find some support soon im gonna go crazy.

Greetings from a fellow Buckeye! Just wanted to say hi and welcome you here. I have 3 kids, too and a nasty wine habit. I am working on day 6 today. Sending encouraging thoughts your way.
