Wow. I'm loving this already. Backstory:
I work with animals.
I've been a writer/poet since about 14 years old, every woman in my family wrote.
I became a DJ at 21. I'm 26 now. Nightclubs prove to be little more than one of THE most dangerous environments for people like us and we all know this- but I love what I do, and I love the music. Naive as that sounds, I had to find a way to continue to do what I love without getting sucked in, because that's how this whole thing started. Drinks and powder came to me like handouts at a grocery store, because I was "that chick DJ." Again it isn't always easy but I am not ruining this for myself.
I attempted this once before, I went to meetings and practiced the 12 steps, and I did have a solid month under my belt and I assume some of you know how it is...One day I just threw it away. No particular reason. I just started drinking like a fish again and doing the same things. That lasted for about 7-8 more months and now I'm trying again, using will alone. I have not been back to a meeting yet but on Thursday a buddy is going to take me to the NA meeting she hosts, and I will begin going again throughout the week. To solidify what's begun.
Thank you all for the warm welcome. Really. I need people around me, even if only online, that know that the struggle is real.
