hello to all

Hi there, let's see, I'm 27 years old, been married for seven years and have two beautiful girls. I am addicted to pills, anything to alter my mind. I'm I guess a functioning addict at this point, these damn pills are running my life. I miss being able to get up and clean my house without popping a pill. I miss enjoying life and not worrying about how many pills I have left. I feel I am at a point that I'm getting ready to spin out of control. I've lurked on this site for almost 6 months and after a very disturbing dream I realize it's time to get my crap together. Any suggestions?

Hi Brandie

you could do worse than by posting regularly

Are you interested in real life support groups at all?

Welcome, brandie! Hang around here and you'll get lots of support. Have you talked to your doctor?

Thanks for all the kind words, I've not spoke to my doctor, I probably should. I've considered going to a support group here in town, but I'm terrified of going by myself. Do they make you talk? Or are you able to sit and listen until your comfortable?

Welcome brandie. It's so good you've decided to change your life. I agree that it'll help with your anxiety to post here. We're all in it together.

When I attended meetings I wasn't expected to say much - I waited quite a while before sharing anything.
