I'm new here. I came here to get support for my addictions. I have more than one and not really comfortable talking about them yet. The worst part about me is that I have been robbed of the last ten years of my life because of this. I destroyed a lot of things because I wanted to fulfill my addictions. I'm lucky enough though that I have realized them and I am willing to confront them and move forward to where I don't feel powerless. I've been starting to journal my thoughts about the things that haunt me. Everyday feels like a new struggle. I'm in the new stages of recovery because it only occured to me a few days ago that I was an addict. So I just wanted to post and tell the world hi and share my new struggle with saying that I am powerless over this and that I am an addict and that I am in recovery. Admitting these things so the world can see is the first step to recovery and I am now ready to take the first step.
