Newly Sober, New to this site
 

I don't know where to start, I guess from the beginning.

I'm a 27 year old Male living in New Hampshire. I have been using drugs since I was roughly 15 years old. It started off with just weed and quickly expanded onto harder and more destructive and expensive drugs. I've never really had a problem with alcohol, though I have drank and been drunk before. It is not my first choice.

I guess I am what they refer to as a poly-addict, but my main d.o.c. is cocaine. I used to be content just sniffing it, then I got introduced to smoking it and it has really taken a toll on my life. I have done a lot of grimy things to get my fix, robbing, stealing, cheating, lying, you name it.

I really messed up this time and I am losing a lot of respect and trust from my family and peers. I don't know what to do or where to turn. I currently do not work so I'm working on getting a job and maybe going back to school.

Right now in my free time and my non-drug related leisure time I like to write and record my own music, I am a rapper, I enjoy making hip hop music by myself and with friends. I also love sports. I play a lot of cards such as rummy and poker. I am searching for people that are in similar situations with being newly sober and trying to build a good support system.



I am really just looking for some help and support :a108:



To those who spend their time reading this; :thanks

Welcome, Mystic, joining this site is a good start and congratulations on your decision to become sober. I am sure others will be along to offer advice and support. It sounds as those you have many interests to occupy your time which is a good thing. Having a plan is essential to success. Keep us posted.

thanks LuLu, it's good to know there are other people going through similar situations, whether they are currently new to the struggle or have been fighting it for years. I understand that this is a lifetime disease.

Meant to say sounds as though, not those. Sheesh, I am even sober!

lol no harm no foul :P

Hello mystic
