2 Weeks Clean Today!

Hello everyone I'd just like to introduce myself.. Im Nikki and Im an addict. I have 14 days sober today. My drug of choice is Meth... and it is something that is more difficult to overcome than I had first imagined. I have been an addict for 5 years. What brought me to NA was, well besides a divine intervention, is I found myself in the county jail, with posession and commercial burglary charges. Part of my sentencing requires me to attend meetings. But although I have a "court card", that does not mean I do not appreciate the opportunity given to me, or that I do not sincerely want to stay sober. I am trying. I was 2 days shy of getting my 30 day chip when I went back out and used. This "run" lasted 3 days... and I've heard it said at NA that once you've been a part of this program you will never use the same again, and I thank God that is true.

I attend New Beginnings Fellowship in Fresno... and I am having a hard time feeling comfortable there. I am very shy, and it is almost impossible for me to introduce myself. As a result I do not have a sponsor but I desperately need one. If anyone could direct me on how to go about obtaining one... I would really appreciate that. I need help.

Thank you for the opportunity to post and share here. I am looking forward to all the positives a website like this can potentially bring to me.

Nikki (chichona)

Welcome to SR Nikki

Don't ever forget you had those 30 days, and you will use the same tools to stay clean this time, and more.

Keep coming back
Diana
