My friends i failed... what now?

[duluthguy]

I did it, I was cleaning out my truck and found 2 percocet, I took them so quick I didn't even think about it... I cannot believe I did that... What do I do? I'm just shocked and mortified, 21 days down the tubes... I can't believe I'm even posting this... oh my...

What did I say? Eyes? Geez buddy, I am sorry. I think I need to get ready for beddie bye...

But you got the idea. Just relax. No one is going to say anything mean to you, at all. No one will bite. It is a very calming experience and I am sure you will feel right at home!!

DuluthDude............

I'm glad you're going to a meeting. I was waiting for you to do that.
You'll be OK man. You've got soul.
NOW is the time to fight back. I've got your back if you want it covered.

Toby, stay tuned...
Here comes my clean-time WAR poem..........

IBK meant take the cotton out of your ears and put them in your mouth!!!  I was told that on occasion........

[dominosarah]

You dont have to talk or tell your story so put your hives on vacation mode!!  Being scared is normal at first but you will soon feel right at home.  You may have to also go to a few of them to find the one that fits for you.  Sit and just listen to the others talk.  You will find out real quick that they could be telling your story.

Walk into the meetings and get a cup of coffee. It isn't bad. Find a seat as close to the front-table or platform-as you can. Have a seat. Take the cotton out of your eyes and put it in your mouth. Listen, listen, listen. You don't tell your story when you walk in, hardly anyone gets to do that. There is a lot that goes on at meetings so take it all in. Most meetings will ask if there are any newcomers. Raise your hand. Introduce yourself. Key a newcomer key tag. If they don't automatically give it to you, ask for phone numbers. They will be your life line. Men with the men and women with the women so find a group of men, introduce yourself. Get phone numbers, again.

this is your first meeting so it is all about you learning the process and the rules. they are a great bunch of folks with plenty of experience, strength and hope to share with you so take everything you can.

Remember, your mind is like a parachute---it only works when it is open. So keep an open mind when you walk through that door.....

The outpouring of support is so unbelievable i can't even comprehend it... I don't deserve this much love, I feel horrible but I had to admit it very quickly before the pills started talking. I hope I will recover from this, but I am going to go to a NA meeting tomorrow. I have never been to one of them and have no idea what to expect. It scares me just think of going there, i don't know anybody personally who has ever gone there. I don't have the idea that I'm better than anyone because you all know the truth about me, but I'm not a public speaker, the thought of telling my story in front of people gives me hives!! Can anyone help me as to what to expect there? What do I do or say? I can't fail, I have way to many dependants that need a normal dad!! I love you all...
