It took along time for me to get back online after I joined cuz I didnt think that I had anything to say to help anyone or anyone had anything to say to help me. But I have finally realized that I can not do it alone and it only took me 30 years. But I swore to myself that it isnt going to take me another 30 years to get the message. For me it only took 90 days because I was determined to get it. Oh I aint saying every day is great but I have more great days then I do bad (oh wait). I don't even have bad days, I have bad moments but I have learned that it is my choice to be happy and not to go to that horrible place again. I still get goosie bumps when I think about how life is so great and how many people out there are there to help me. I thank my higher power ever day that he pointed me in the direction of NA since my drug of choice is pain pills and dope. oh yeah I am 51 so no matter how old ya are there is time to find the peace and serenity that us addicts want so desperately. Hope to hear from you.
