i'm new

Hello... I'm scared to be here. I like everyone else have been trying to quit my secret habit for years. I have no one to share with, always a secret that I keep. So I'm here for support through my withdrawal period. Today is my last day. I have burned (literally) all my info that helps me get my stuff. I've been through withdrawals a billion times. They aren't so bad, so why am I always so scared? I'm more addicted to the process of getting my stuff then actually them selves. I just want a mentor, someone I can come to when I want to use. I hope someone is out there.
cheers,
helpsha

Hello, Helpsha,

I guess you know what this forum is about. As far as a mentor goes, you might find someone here willing to correspond. According to the "Keys to Sober Living," your "sponsor" should have a year of sobriety and have completed the program you want to use. Do you have a program in mind?

Hi helpsha. You're not alone anymore, and we all understand how hard it is. You've found a great place, filled with understanding people. Congratulations on deciding to quit.
