Awesome meeting

[Amber9999]

I went to a speaker meeting last night that was so inspiring.  All though I was sitting right in front of the guy speaking and getting spit on, it was totally awesome!!!!!  Two years ago I quit my job to get clean.  I did it because I wanted to put 100% toward my recovery.  Believe it or not, recovery is a full time job for the first year.  It was for me anyway.  I know it's going to be the same to stay off this Tramadol.  Even though it was Percocet the last time, this time it is so much worse.  I know I can beat this!  I had to change sponsors though.  I felt like she didn't have enough time for me.  Every time I would call, she was busy.  She seemed to get an attitude too.  I asked a lady who spoke at the end of the meeting and I could tell she new her stuff.  I asked if she had any other sponsee's and she only has one but they have 15 years.  So basically she can spend a lot of time with me.  She has 23 years clean.  She's vey nice and we have already set a date to get together and tell each other's stories.  I feel like I did when I started getting into it before.  But I also know the high of recovery can come to an end, usually around six months.  I have be prepared for it.  I want to thank EVERYONE that has helped me on here.  Having two families in recovery will help more than ever.  Have a good day!  Much love -Amber
