Just looking for a little support
Hi,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Derek and I have known most of my life that I am an addict. Thus far in my endeavors I have been unable to kick the habit of booze and/or drugs. I have heard the saying that everyone picks their own poison, but for me all poisons are equal. I started out drinking, moved on to pot, and have progressed further into benzo's and opiates. My addiction doesn't really demand any one thing, as long as there is SOMETHING. I am starting AA meetings next week, but I thought a little extra help from anyone could do me good. The last time I took anything was yesterday, I have wanted to stop for a long time but it wasn't until after a long hard talk with my wife that I am finally ready to change my life. If anyone has any tips or advice for a newcomer please feel free to respond.
Thank you all so much for letting me be a part of this community... Derek
