new addict in the house

Well lets see my name is clay and I have been addict for well I guess about 26 years..Boy does that sound crazy writing that here but I have finally found the courage to let all this go in my life and start a new beginning..There is a ton of stuff I could say here but I will save it and post it some of the areas it needs to be in...anyway I am glad to be here and I hope I can be of assistance to anybody that needs some real addict experiences and how I have even made to here, because I have a lot of it and I can see from looking through the post here that I am going to gain a lot of knowledge and help with this recovery and journey I have started...

yep almost made it two months and it has been the hardest two months that I can remember in my life.. I not only quit using ...but just like everybody else that has made it to the bottom and trying to get out I also lost my family...but I also know this is the best thing for everyone involved at the moment.. I would not be so dedicated if it wasn't for all the tough love and also I almost died in the hospital emergency room on a table with the doctor syanding over me with paddles in his hand looking at the heart monition with me just waiting for my heart to quit so he could zapp me back to life..The whole time he is telling me I hope you made peace with GOD because there is nothing else I can do for you but wait and see if yor heart is going to quit or you make it out of this.. I was alert and knew everything going on around me..even watching the monitior waiting for the moment..Life Changing Event For Me..!!!

I have made it to a little over a year, with lots of AA meetings and tons of time here at SoberRecovery.

Thanks

It's good to know that I am not all alone out here because I am feeling like I am..Glad I found this place..The love of my life went no contact and I feel abandoned but I abandoned her and the kids many times before she decided to do tough love...can't blame nobody but myself... but I am alive and sober and I am driving forward no matter what!

Thanks to all of you,
clay
