You know one ex heroin addict now! HUUUUGE CONGRATS on the clean time Jen that is so inspiring to hear! This site has proven itself time & time again to be laregely foundational upon my recovery. Lots of great folks & good vibes, but most importantly people who have been there and can offer their own experience strength & hope. I'm kind of confused though, are you biased toward the 12step recovery program & looking for something else? If not thats a great way to meet other ex-* addicts, I know because I wanted the exact thing that you talked about (people who understood me!). If your not into 12step I bet there's a whole lot of other alternatives in Cincinnati like SMART or rational recovery programs. In the meantime however it's great to hear from you & I commend you on your dedication to want to change you life. Keep posting & let us know how you're doin!
