The most important thing in all of this is your talking about it. There is nothing that would shock nor cause judgement in this forum or I would ask them to leave immediately and have them banned.
You are safe here. We maybe crazy, but we're protective. And we're people who get it. Your not alone. Welcome, I sure hope you keep coming back
Hi Poets - there is no substance, situation or behavioral problem that we will ever judge you for. The only thing one here is held accountable for is to respect an others recovery, whatever that may be. Agreeing with it or not, itf it works for them, I couldn't be happier.
Also there is no one way of doing one thing. Recovery is a process and a physical, mental and spiritual Journey the rest of our lives. Full of mistakes, but also full of miracles- these other farm yard folks can tell ya that. I do love Farms.
Anyways, do keep coming back ))))))))))))))))))))HUGS((((((((((((((((((((((( and know you are welcome wholeheartedly.

- Linda, welcome, bless you for sharing. What I am about to say is only my opinion and is not right or wrong. But I will qualify I am a recovering hard core drug addict of 24 years using and went to my first rehab that first year, so I have heard and seen many forms of poisonous people and many miracles.
Firstly, you are going through a great amount of stress right now as you are being personally violated. My heart goes out to you, deeply.
Let's start where you did. You relapsed. Shit happens and relapse is part of recovery. Fact. There is no shame in relapse. However there is much shame in not trying to get help and try to get back. Your still in recovery and guess what, your reaching out even just here so you are trying. You need not feel one ounce of shame.
I commend you for reaching out in a strange forum not knowing anyone here intimately. The miracle of the program is those of us, you included, in recovery would never judge another unless they have walked in their shoes.
Take it easy on yourself, cut yourself some slack and remember you only have to worry about today. One Day at a time, just, one day. I only hope you continue to reach out and seek treatment of some sort. There are meetings 24/7 on-line in forums with moderators as well as speaker tapes, both for all programs.
Keep reaching out here-try even to just check in once a day. post 'hi' if that's all you can but commit to checking in everyday. The rest of us do but I swear we have yet to be together at the same time - it's weird, but we all check in - I was off to bed and thought I would check in and look - Linda our new miracle! God works in mysterious ways.
Now your girlfriend that has moved into your origami building complex. It's really two fold isn't it. She has no God given right to break your anonymity nor for any good cause. She wants attention and is gossiping at your expensive. This is unqexpectable and she needs to be told so. That however is your decision. What friend could reason these actions to help a friend? Ouch - stay away from her as hard as it is.
If it was me, I could picture myself tip toeing around my home and not running water or flushing the toilet so she couldn't hear me.
Now, your drinking. Guilt doesn't enter this equation. Shame however does. As long as you continue to drink, then, to yourself, be accepting of that fact, no excuses. It is what it is and if you are doing the best you can, then you girlfriend, are working the best program you can.
The crapy girlfriend is irrelevant. These issues are between you and your God only.
I will say a prayer for you tonight and pray you get this note so you know your not alone, and pray you come back and let us help each other. We need you too you know.
Do sleep well, sorry I didn't check in earlier,, I pray you get this and ODAAT.
xo Kimberly
God,
grant us the serenity,
to accept the things we cannot change,
the courage to change the things we can
and the wisdom to KNOW the difference.Good Morning Linda, I hope your evening was OK

A little note for everyone:
I'm rubbish at forum etiquette and stuff, so I hardly ever write those small posts that mean so much. Just wanted to let you all know that I say hi to you all in my head every time I read your posts, just very seldom express it. So in a rare break with tradition....
Hi everyone, hope you're all well today.
I'll be quiet again now.- Wendi Mposted 14 years ago0
Coop, welcome, so glad your here-and you better keep coming back.
I'm a drug addict guess you know that by now. I love this forum, while it changes it rhythms, and all our timing is off and different, some come and go etc.
My point is I pray we help each other in some way by sharing our experience, strength and Hope a little bit at a time - even if we're talking about avatar's.
Big topic here-OK my addiction, can never settle on an avatar and it looks like Wendi can't either now also ha ha ha - see Wend, and she's doing something with Playboy -not sure - she tends to jump around a lot.
2 RULES FOR THIS FORUM
1-WE ARE HERE FOR OURSELVES FIRST AND EACH OTHER SECONDLY
2- YOU MUST HAVE TO HAVE FUN OR YOU HAVE TO WRITE THE SERENITY PRAYER 3467899 TIMES - NO BREAKS
Glad your here babe
) It's just hard watching him sometimes.
