Hi, I'm new!
Hi, I'm new!
My name is Kati, and I am an addict.
I am new to recovery. I came to NA in March seeking help for my DXM abuse, but I did not take it seriously. I relapsed and went to rehab, and recently got a month clean, only to relapse again (not on my drug of choice, but I impulsively took a bunch of meds from the medicine cabinet. My husband keeps them locked up now). I am now in NA though, I have a sponsor, and I am working the steps, and I am getting stronger in my recovery every day, and I know that they are always there for me, and no matter how many times I relapse, I can always go back (not that I am planning any more relapses, lol!)
I am 23, in college, and have a husband and 20 month old son. We are moving into our new house (from a cheap apartment) in about a week, and I am looking forward to that change.
Looking forward to 'meeting' you all!

Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a drink of
Alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely grateful.
As i look back when my family pulled
an intervention on me in Aug. 1990,
sending me to rehab, today that was
them doing for me what i couldnt
do for myself. To get me help I so
desperately needed.
Today, i look at what transpired at
that time in my life. I spent 28 days
as my own request so i wouldnt be
sent away to a halfway house away
from my family.
I took the tools and knowledge of
my alcoholism and was set on a path
of recovery following the steps and
principles set down before us in AA
and for u NA.
I listened to every word i heard and
even tho not much made sense at
that time about recovery, i kept
going and followed suggestions
by many who had been on the
path for many one days at a time
before me.
The more i heard and the more i
continued to be willing then I too
have collected a few 1 days at a time.
If the "old-timers" did what was
suggested to them and stayed sober
then this program of recovery must
work.
I just had to remember that my will
never worked, so i had to hold on
to many that stayed sober and be
prepared for the promises to come
true for me sooner or later.
Those promises have come true as
I can honestly say today.
