Newly Sober, New to this site
I don't know where to start, I guess from the beginning.
I'm a 27 year old Male living in New Hampshire. I have been using drugs since I was roughly 15 years old. It started off with just weed and quickly expanded onto harder and more destructive and expensive drugs. I've never really had a problem with alcohol, though I have drank and been drunk before. It is not my first choice.
I guess I am what they refer to as a poly-addict, but my main d.o.c. is cocaine. I used to be content just sniffing it, then I got introduced to smoking it and it has really taken a toll on my life. I have done a lot of grimy things to get my fix, robbing, stealing, cheating, lying, you name it.
I really messed up this time and I am losing a lot of respect and trust from my family and peers. I don't know what to do or where to turn. I currently do not work so I'm working on getting a job and maybe going back to school.
Right now in my free time and my non-drug related leisure time I like to write and record my own music, I am a rapper, I enjoy making hip hop music by myself and with friends. I also love sports. I play a lot of cards such as rummy and poker. I am searching for people that are in similar situations with being newly sober and trying to build a good support system.
I am really just looking for some help and support

thanks LuLu, it's good to know there are other people going through similar situations, whether they are currently new to the struggle or have been fighting it for years. I understand that this is a lifetime disease.

Welcome! I think this site is a good place to start on getting sober. I'm a new(ish) member. Like, I was on here last year, then started drinking again, and now I'm back. Hopefully for good Trying not to have to do day one again. I hope you don't have to either. Good luck!
PS, I'm 27 too, it came up in another thread that there are a lot of people our age here
