Its That Time! September 2015 Roll Call!!

[ActingBrandNew]

Hey everybody! Its September so its time for another roll call! Hopefully we can get more people to participate than last month. We used to have like 80+ people participate but over the months the number has gone down significantly. These roll calls are important to everyone. Whether you are clean or are just thinking about getting clean, you are welcome and encouraged to participate. This is where you introduce yourself and say how long you have been clean or if you haven't started your journey yet, you just say who you are so we know your out there. Like I said, you dont have to be clean to participate. One of the hardest things in recovery is reaching out. Take this as an opportunity to do that. So whether you have 100 years sober or your just trying to get a grasp on today, wed love to hear from you.

Hi. This is Dizzy. Today is day 22. I used for approximately 10 years and was taking a very large amount of Morphine. If people can do it, I highly recommend tapering down as much as possible. No one, other than this group knows my struggle. I was so deathly afraid that I couldn't do this, especially after some of the events in my life! But now, my only regret is that I didn't do this sooner!! Thank you everyone for all of your enormous support and encouragement!!

I will start, my name is ABN and I got clean on Feb 2nd 2010. That means I have 5 years 7 months and 3 days. IV Heroin was my DOC however If it gave you a head change, I did it. Anyways, therapy, NA, AA, Celebrate Recovery, MedHelp, Church all saved my life. Thats my aftercare. I would like to say to the men, if you go to NA meetings, I recommend mens stag meetings. Especially in early recovery. I notice that men will be more honest and less distracted without the presence of woman. Afterall, we go to these meetings for recovery...not to hook up. I ONLY go to mens stag meetings. Anyways, thats me and what I do. Hope all is well and that the weather is cooling off in your areas.

Always,
ABN
