I'm new and would like to share my terror

I used meth. for about 7yrs but I have been clean for 7months. The only reason I am clean now is because I almost died from a dirty needle and bad dope. 7months ago I used for what was my last time 2days after I used I got Double Pneumonia and I had an unknown bug in my lungs which was eating whole in my lung. The tried for 2 months to kill the bug which entered my body thru a needle of meth. I spent 2 months in ICU on a ventalater and 1 more month just trying to get well enough to leave the hospital. I now am disabled and have to have oxygen to breath. I am 33yrs old and my life has came to a hault. So if there is anyone out there who is on meth or thinking of relapsing please think again. And if you need someone to help them through it please feel free to email me @ sawoods4u2nv******.com

"Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
-- Saint Francis of Assisi

I really like this quote. This is where I am today and where we all are when we need to just stop killing ourselves and our souls with any kind of addiction. This is what I needed to hear today. What is necessary for me is to abstain, then what will be possible, will be to clean up my living space, attend to my daily affairs, get things in order, and then from there on, I hope to do much more wtih my life than I ever could have being stoned all day.

Sawoods, I am 39 and feel like my life has come to a halt over my addictions and patterns of living around those. You are not alone. We are both still alive and will have the presence of mind through sobriety to make a better life from here on out. I am disabled too from a car accident and being Bipolar but I still think I can make it from here if I just stay clean and sober. Things can and will get better for you!
