Introduction


Hi everyone my name is Adalie and I am 21 years old. I have spent the last month working on my recovery and have decided I am ready to reach out and join this site. I have been struggling with heroin addiction for almost 6 years and finally had an eye opening experience that made me realize I deserve more out of my life. I have decided this time around to not count days since in the past the number day I was on became an obsession that didn't allow me to work on myself spiritually or look towards the future.

I have been looking around on here for a couple weeks and want to say that I am really excited to have found SR People that haven't experienced addiction don't realize that nothing is as easy as it seems. I need people that I can vent to without having to explain why something is an accomplishment.

* Adalie

If any people on this earth understand, it's us. I'm an alkie myself, but I totally "get" addiction, for sure. Welcome! I'm glad you're here.

Hi Adalie! It's great you found us. I felt all alone in my misery, until I came here and could pour my heart out. Everyone understood what I'd been going through. I began to feel hope once again. Vent away - we are here for you.
