Learning how to live all over again...
Hey guys and gals I'm Trev and I'm a addict/alcoholic ...I found this forum through another recovery forum and figured this can't hurt along with my other daily recovery practices ... I have a 4 year old amazing boy and his mother and me are together and addicts in recovery since we meet 5 years ago...we lived on the streets at one point and decided to call it quits one night so we went into the local ER....were then woke up at 4am and told she was pregnant...........
From that point on our occupation as class 1 heroin and crack addicts was stopped....we went on dry as a dessert without recovery for years and had 2 major but short slips......since then our son is living with us but his temporary custody was ripped from us and we surrendered and gave it to my mom and stepdad who live upstairs from us....our last slip was very bad....it was a bit more than four mths ago and we decided to get back into the rooms of AA/NA....
For the first time we have a network....sponsors....a life with hope and direction and a program with promises that life does not have to be ugly on the inside...
You see going through life for years sober and without work on ourselves developed into a spiritually ugly mess....but now I actually pray! Which for me is huge ....I'm not a big religious man or even close but I took suggestions and now. Life is calm and manageable ...and I don't feel that thing in my gut that told me ......"one day I can return to getting high"
Anyhow glad to be part of the greatest show on earth ...thx for the forum !

Welcome Trev, SR is a really great place to read and share. The wealth of experience here has been a huge part of my recovery, I don't want to think of where I'd be now had I not been guided here.
Best wishes to you and your family.
