Admitting I have a problem
Hello all, I'm new to this forum. After reading through the threads it seems like a good forum, so I registered. I'm a little hesitant in posting this, because I feel my problems are minute in contrast to a lot of the members who probably need the advice moreso than I. Anyways, I have a bad problem with addictions. I was a habitual marijuana user for quite a few years, along with the other complementaries drugs that went along with it. Six months ago I kicked the habit cold turkey. A few months later I began using niccorette 5-6 times per day to help transition to a less unhealthy addiction. I have recently used pot a a couple occasion and am afraid of a relapse. I would appreciate any feedback on methods of staying clean. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi and welcome. When I first got into recovery I didn't think my problem was nearly as bad as some...so it is normal to feel that way. However b/c of my feelings I denied that I had pain and problems from my drinking and went back out for more "research" and unfornetly many of the problems that those other people had came true for me. Someone told me once that I wasn't the sickest person in the room and if I kept thinking that I needed to be in order to recovery I might not ever recovery. Everyone has their bottom and that is when they stop digging deeping and turn around and go for the solution. I wish you all the best and please check out an AA, NA or CA meeting in your area.
