Newbie Introduction

Wont make this super long or dragged out but figured it was time that I started to develop a support group. Somewhere I can meet new friends who can help me maintain a clean and sober life

My clean date is just 09/24/2014, with the prior morning being my last use. so I have a little over 2 1/2 days clean after a very long period of usage. Not always daily but consistently over the past 7 years

I am 26 years old and my drug of choice has always been heroin. I have a fiancee who I love very much and a 5 year old step-son.

That is all for now, feel free to ask questions, ect.. I need something in my life to help support my sober lifestyle

Thanks again guys, I plan to at least log-in daily

Things are a tiny bit better today, still not looking forward to having to work tonight. That is going to be really rough

But on the positive I do have Sunday off

Work might be a good thing, at least it will get you out of the house! Hang in there, Pickleman.

You might also post in the Substance Abuse forum. There have been some long-running threads there. Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Or have a look at the "Class of September, 2014" thread http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...rt-2-a-24.html

Thank you, I will hop my way back over there later on today and check-into that thread

I am off now to enjoy some more time on SR chat and maybe read the first chapter of the Big Book

After the football game of course
