You start where you are right now, don't drink or use, go to meetings, get and use a sponsor, work the steps, and read the literature. I know it is not going to be easy but I am here to tell you that you can do this deal...I will send good thoughts your way..

Love Vic

Yup...
I'd be hightailing it to a meeting..

I tried and tried to clean up my life on my own.
(and I'm a dedicated virgo...
things move when I focus.. ;o)

But... where using was concerned.. I just could not leave it alone by my own willpower.

Surrendering to the dawning understanding of the power and impact addiction has on us is our only way out.
Be willing to go to any lengths.

Welcome, BlindAgain!

I'm assuming you're in Auckland, NZ - here's a link for AA info. There's phone numbers on the link where you should be able to get more information.

Keep coming back - there's a lot of good people here and great support.

Hugs!

I am from California - its a country within the US
