Been Clean but alone for a while now...
and I've been thinking about how to really network to maintain that...
I was a meth addict for years and got really deep into some stuff that I shouldn't have... I've done the whole wreck your life thing... :\ oh well though...
I've been clean for a lil less than a year and a half now, recently had some tough times when thinking about stuff and realized it's time to find some people who might be like minded about staying away from their addicitons...
the big reason why I want to find some sort of community like this is because I quit for good 2 times before... each lasting about a year... and while this is the longest I have been clean... and this is also the fist time I've had a real reason to stay clean I still like the idea of having a place to kinda... I dont know... remember why I guess...
I just watched some lame, out of touch documentary about stuff and thought it was corney but there were some really good inspiring words so I figured I would google for a place that was like a recovery forum
that's how I found yall
anyway I am glad I found this place... it seems diverse enough, and I really liked reading through the TOS it was really reasonable... so maybe this is what I was looking for... and if not... no harm in trying

Hi IN, I think you are right to want to be reminded why you want to stay clean and where you dont want to go back to.
Its hard to do this by yourself, some company and support, even online, is a big help to me. I hope it is to you as well.
Welcome BTW!

I doubt I will but thankyou
I appreciate everything that everyone here has said
but I guess I am not "ready" to get involved in this type of social group... I will post a similar message in my other thread that will explain more

Welcome, IN, and congrats on your clean time. Almost a year and a half? Maybe time to "give back" a little...if you think you have nothing to offer, don't kid yourself. Think back to what it was like when you were first trying to get clean and sober...there are many here in the Newcomers forum who need support from all of us...that means you, too. Carrying a message to someone struggling is a great way to take the focus off of our own problems, and I can assure you there won't be time to feel "alone".
