I have never been a part of a 'sober community'...

Hello everyone.
I am a recovering oxycodone addict, and today I will be 45 days sober.
I have never sought any serious help, I think primarily because coming to terms with being an addict was a very difficult thing for me to admit to myself.
But I need help, every day it seems to get harder to resist temptation, but I was up to 3,000mgs of oxycodone every two days... And I'm 19 years old.
I am desperately in need of a sense of community, and to familiarize myself with others who are going through the same thing. Nobody in my life has ever been addicted to a substance.

Anyways, that's my brief background, and please do let me know if this is not the proper place for an introductory thread.
But I just wanted to say that I am very pleased to be here, and it is nice to meet you all.

Welcome, Prism. This is a fine place to post. you might also get a lot out of the specific substance abuse forum:

Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

We also have "Class of" threads. Each month has one. Select the month in which you got sober and join in! There's a lot of good support and camaraderie there.
