Red face Hi there...

Hello. I wanted to introduce myself. I'm currently on MMT and receiving both individual and group counseling through my clinic but have reached the point in my recovery where I need some more support from a sober community outside the clinic. So, here I am.

My name is jennifer. I'm 28 and recently moved back home to michigan from California, where I spent the better part of my adulthood. I had a baby girl in June 2014, got clean from IV heroin when I found out in sept 13 I was pregnant and clean from meth just after I had Grace in June and tested positive at her birth when CPS intervened. Grace being most important in my life, I gave up the drugs and moved home. I've been dosing daily at a very nice clinic in small town northern michigan.

I'm feeling pretty good about my recovery. I've had several slips but overall have been clean. Everything else, on the other hand, is pretty out of control. I desperately want to move home (California is the only place I can comfortably call home), and plan to when I receive a settlement in a month or so. I regret ever moving here. I'm having problems with baby daddy, he's in legal trouble and about to f me and stick me w a $10k bail I cosigned for. I just found out my body did not in fact beat hep c like drs in Cali originally told me. I live w my parents and kid while baby daddy lives in a motel. He was staying at their house but he mega crossed a line and treated my parents like crap.

Anyway, I didn't mean to babble. Just wanted to give a bit of background.

Welcome, Jennifer! Even though it's winter, you are certainly from one if the most beautiful places in the US. Good luck in your continuing sobriety!

I hate winter. And I hate being in such a small town. I want to try a meeting but it's such a small community, there's only like one a week in a twenty five mile radius. I'm not a patient person. I want to go to one today. Not next Sunday.
