To Tell My Story........

where to begin? This goes back about 7 yrs. I left my husband because of drugs alcohol and a great deal of mental abuse. After my separation i found my self in the same boat that he was in. I started to hang out with my brother and some friends. There i found my self drinking all the time and reoccuring coke and crack use. This went on for a period of 2 yrs. I left my kids with my mother and partied all the time. After using for 2 yrs. I met this guy who I fell deeply for. He too was a periodic user of coke and crack. This was obviously not a life style that he wanted so together we quit cold turkey. This was 4 and a half years ago. He is still doing great but me on the other hand I have relapsed after 4 yrs of being clean. About 4 months ago I started hanging around the wrong people again. Of coarse I thought I could control my self but thats not how it turned out. 1 time led to 5 times then so on and so on. Now I find my self in Financial dismay my job is on the line and I seriously need to clean my act up. My boyfriend has been greatly supportive. I know I cant do this alone this time . And although my boyfriend is supportive of me it is really taking a toll on him also because to top the cake His brother ,who at the time lived with us was murdered at the age of 23 over crack cocain. That was a tragedy that we delt with together and after all that i still turned back to doing the drug. Help and support from others is what i need now. Thank You all for listening to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tweet,

You can get lots of support and understanding here. I'm an alcoholic, but I know how easy it is to go down the wrong road and end up in over your head. You have quit before and you can do it again. Keep posting.

Love, Anna
