Newbie Introduction
 

Wont make this super long or dragged out but figured it was time that I started to develop a support group. Somewhere I can meet new friends who can help me maintain a clean and sober life

My clean date is just 09/24/2014, with the prior morning being my last use. so I have a little over 2 1/2 days clean after a very long period of usage. Not always daily but consistently over the past 7 years

I am 26 years old and my drug of choice has always been heroin. I have a fiancee who I love very much and a 5 year old step-son.

That is all for now, feel free to ask questions, ect.. I need something in my life to help support my sober lifestyle

Welcome, PickleMan! It's a really good group here.

Welcome to SR, PickleMan.

There's lots of great threads here--read around and post often!

Welcome to SR! Glad you are here, and congrats on getting clean.

Welcome to the family. I'm glad you joined us. :)

Thank you for the warm welcome guys. I hope to be around quite a bit! i used to post a lot at other websites so hopefully I can make this my new home

Welcome

Welcome to the Forum PickleMan!! Great to have you onboard!! :wave:

Welcome to the family, Pickleman!

Welcome, Pickleman! You will find a lot of great support here. Wishing you lots of luck in your sobriety.

Thanks again guys, I plan to at least log-in daily

Things are a tiny bit better today, still not looking forward to having to work tonight. That is going to be really rough

But on the positive I do have Sunday off

Work might be a good thing, at least it will get you out of the house! Hang in there, Pickleman. :)

Hi Pickleman,

Great to meet you Pickle. The support and friendship here is amazing & will really help you stay strong. Glad you found us and reached out. :)

Thanks again guys, 4 full days now in the books.

I am hoping to build some support system here, hopefully meet some new friends that I can talk to here and outside of here

You might also post in the Substance Abuse forum. There have been some long-running threads there. Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Thank you, I will hop my way back over there later on today and check-into that thread

I am off now to enjoy some more time on SR chat and maybe read the first chapter of the Big Book

After the football game of course
