New, hope I will be welcome here
Hi!
I am new to the forum and think that the secular recovery spot is probably right for me. A little about myself: I am 24, 4th year uni student and currently 8 days sober from opiates. My addiction is one that many other uni students I have met seem to have: one of binging and drying out... Over and over for the last 3 years. I am now totally committed to sobriety. I realized that if I don't stop now I will never achieve my dreams of going to grad school and becoming a professional.
I have tried the NA model and it really isnt for me. I am an atheist and couple that with an education in the physical sciences and my analytical mode of thinking and the result is a lot of internal grumbling/ eye rolling when told to just "accept god" etc. ( I realize it is more that that but I am trying to illustrate that it just really doesn't suit my personality to put my recovery into the hands of a deity)
I guess I jus wanted to introduce myself and check secular forum out. Thanks!
