New to Recovery rooms, forums, meetings
Hello, I'm Tracey and I am really new at this. I want to say that I will be celebrating 4 years of being off crack on September 29th 2013. I have not been to but one meeting, the whole time. I feel like i'm missing something. Spent a lot of years on that substance, used it to cope with certain issues I did not want to face in my life that caused trauma. Serious trauma. I to this day have a hard time processing this pain just feeling numb and not siure what step to take to release the hurt anger, i'm vunerable and that vunerablity has caused me to get in wrong relationships. Like the one i'm in now. Married to an addict at this stage and do not know what I should do/ made so many decisions high, having hard time making good decisions for myself now. Feeling trapped, etc, etc, etc. Well now that you got an idea where I am at, I sure could use some feedback from some pros at this recovery thing. I need some healing and I've got to start somewhere.

hi greenetea welcome here, go to NA meetings you are already ahead with 4 year off on your own congratulation, getting an sponsor and doing the 12 step will help with all the emotions. maybe is you get addiction counsellor will help you. my addiction is alcohol but I know crack I was addicted for a few years. and remember this is only a suggestion in the end only you know what you need.
