Red face Finally attempt at recovery

I am finally ready to live a clean life. I am 9 days clean for all opiates and have gone through the worst of the withdrawals still low on energy. I have faith this time. I cut out all my triggers i.e. people who won't stay clean. I'm tired of destroying my family and my life. I wanted to join this for support and to help me continue on the right path. Now that I'm feeling slightly better I think I will start NA meeting to make friends outside of the horrible circle I was involved in. I started it all with dr scripts and it got way out of control. As you know Florida is pill capital of the world. But when that got too expensive I turned to heroin. I realized this wasn't me and after several relapses I have become sick of this addiction ruling. Thanks for listening any advice will be greatly appreciated. On top of all this my boyfriend of 8 years went to jail today for 4 months. I am thankful I have two amazing parents who are here for me and helping me stay clean.

It sounds like you've made a really good decision for yourself. And, it's great that your parents are there to support you.

Thank you soooo much Anna all the support I can get is so very appreciated! I know this is my last chance since I have drained every other options including my parents. I've always been a very family oriented person that's how I was raised. The hardest thing is forgiving myself for the turmoil I have put everyone through. But I just know I have to stay positive and things will fall back in to place with effort. I'm so glad I found this site to be able to talk with others who have been there and still are. Thank you again!

Wow! Good going!

There's lots of great information here--it's a place to vent and people will give you support--and it's great that you are making a commitment to NA.

Aloha
from the drinking land between the heroin capital of the world and Methford, Oregon!

...this step is specifically covered in the NA program. You're really on the right course!
