i went out last night to a Christian rock concert/  service..it was thirty thousand people were there mostly young people..all looking for help for problems..a lady befriended me in line and started telling her story...and wouldn't you know it..she had a problem with pills...and her friend was clean for a year..she just admitted she was an addict for the first time in her life..she wants to surrender her pills. i told her my journey

hi,its only the past few weeeks ive really took a step back and realized im a addict.And have been for the past 15 years, if it wasnt weed or beer it was heroin.crack,speed,benzos or any other rubbish i could get my hands on.Not being able to use again filled me with fear because i had nothing to hide behind anymore.A nd through this website and NA meeetings ive come to terms with being an addict and always will be. and you know what its set me FREE!!!!!   SO THANKYOU.Take care Chris

Hey there...thanks for posting such a great message! I agree 100% with you. We must set the example. To those who are currently out there struggling,know that it IS possible to live your life without these chains of addiction holding us down!! Break free,and take a chance. You have nothing to lose and your life to gain!! Often,for many of us,admitting to ourselves that we're addicts is the hardest part. Once we admit to ourselves that we are addicts,it becomes real. Once we admit we are powerless over this disease then we can truly start healing ourselves. Make today the day that you reclaim your life. Why wait? To those who have gone before us in their journey,thank you for all your words of encouragement. Thank you all for your support. Together we can do this. Nobody can do this alone! Stay strong everyone and guard your clean time!! Thanks for the great post bama!!

sorry on phone..and anyways we prayed all of us..i told her about this site.and how everyone has supported me...where im going is we are not alone in this addiction. there's millions of us..and together we do make a difference. and we who have found sobriety must set the example and not be ashamed to share our stories of failures and success....be a becan of light in a dark world....hope is alive..your success is guaranteed if you want this with all your might
