Welcome to SR. And welcome to AA and NA. You're just in time to give yourself and your son a life you could not have imagined just a few days ago. Everything is going to be Ok, but you have some work to do. First thing is to make that meeting. At all costs. Bunch of other addicts and alcoholics there waiting to show you how to never, ever pick up a needle again. It's called a program of recovery. It means you have to be honest with everyone, including yourself from this moment on. It means you're going to start hanging out at meetings and getting phone numbers and building yourself a support circle. It also means that you're going to start living life in 24 hour slices. It's all we can manage as addicts.
Yep. 21 is way too young to die. The program of AA and NA is a program for living. I'm glad you're going to find that out tonight.
