I recently started another post that brought this topic to light for me.How many times have you had to put yourself in a situation where you were humiliated because you had to cop your DOC??I had to do it too many times to count.I think that humiliation fueled my using even more.However, today I no longer have to subject myself to public ridicule or beg anyone for a fix.When the table turned, and I saw a friend in that situation, it made me realize even more how getting clean gave me a newfound pride.I know that as long as I stay clean and stay away from people that use, I will be just fine.I am so greatful that I never have to be the scapegoat anymore.
