Congratulations, RyKat, and thank you for your inspiring message. I’ll be remembering what you said about 9 days being a small price to pay when I jump on Monday. I feel that my two kids are my greatest inspiration as well, and I probably wouldn’t have gotten into recovery if I didn’t have the guilt of what a horrible parent I had become.
The thing is, I can’t very well tell my kids when I have the urge to use, which I know I will at some point. I’m a little leary of NA right now myself, but I know I have to at least get in touch with some friends in recovery and get a support network in place. I’m also testing the waters of some counseling and looking into a once a week group I can attend. They say an addict alone is in bad company, and due to my circumstances I’m alone a lot these days. So I know I need people, and I would encourage you to think of some people you can rely on when that voice starts lying to you.
I’m really happy that you have come to such a good place. Keep up the good work,
Lilly
