I'm new here............

Hi -

Finally! After 37 years of drug abuse I've managed to find my way to treatment and am finally clean and sober for the first time ever!

55 days, One Day at a Time.

Anyway, I'm in West Palm Beach, Florida and wanted to say hello......

All I've ever known are druggies and dealers and now it would be nice to find some real friends

Hi guys!

Wow, so many responses, so quickly!

Just to clarify, and you probably understood, but those druggies and dealers I was speaking of are not part of this wonderful program. Towards the end of my using, in fact, the only person I could talk to was my crack dealer.

Now, I'm in the process of building that support group made up of <b>former</b> druggies and dealers....how's that? I hope y'all weren't offended.............

Anyway, I'm glad I found this place.

hi Rodeo,
welcome. I'm new to this site, too. After 19 years of drinking and drugging with people who weren't my friends, I've joined SR and found a bunch of recovering addicts who help other addicts every day, for we can only keep what we have by giving it away!
