Hugs and welcome Shane!!!!!
NA literally saved my life and it can help you as well, there is Hope after Dope!! If you are seeking online meetings, I can share 2 of my links with you:
www.earthgroupna.org and www.ukna.org/chat.
if there is anything...
Hi Shane,
You made the connection between depression and drug use which is good. If drugs were the problem, then everyone who stopped using would instantly be cured and there would be no purpose to the 12 Steps and we would not have Sex Addicts, o...
Hello Shane, I haven't read all the other comments but I'm sure our family here has given you some good suggestions. The 12 step program has helped many of us including me. It takes 1 day at a time. 90 meetings in 90 days, a addict may come to the...
Shane,
Welcome to ORS, and welcome to our family. Your story has touched many of us as you can see. All these responses must make you feel like someone out there really cares. We do. You mentioned before that this is just another website and that ...
Thanks again for all the advice. I know a lot but am always looking to learn more.
I have had problems with drug addiction, but I've had more problems with depression. The depression is probably from drugs anyway lol, but for me right now, I'm tr...
Shane,
You look like a young guy so maybe you will relate a little to my story.
I went into a program on Feb 16th 1985. I was 18 and was BY FAR the youngest person there. After a month the program ran out of money and I had to choose - go back wh...
Hey Shane, I'm glad everyone else got back to you quicker than I did. I know that if life is good for me I tend to do less time on these boards. So, good for me , not so good for you. I shall try and amend that. I cannot add much to the above comm...

- Greetings,
I reached out to a friend in Virginia named Ron. I hope he gets in touch with you. He can help. Keep speaking about what id going on. A closed mouth does not get fed. You will find help if you ask. If you can, get to a meeting. NA works well for addicts who have a desire to stop using. Other 12 step fellowships work for other issues. Find what works and become Part Of. Good luck and feel free to add me as a friend and contact me directly.

ATargetNoMore said… - Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must but don't you quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You might succeed with another blow
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup
And he learned too late
When the night slipped down
How close he was to the golden crown
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit

- Getting to a meeting in person.. You can google meetings in your location. Setting in a room of others just like you.... and me... we are not alone and there is a solution

- Hi shane, Victoria P here....welcome to the group, keep sharing your thoughts, sometimes they make more sense when written down, I have 8 yrs clean and I do this thing one day at a time, sounds cliche but it really works, with a sponsor, the steps, my higher power and the fellowship of NA, here I am living a life I don't even deserve. We need you as much as you need us, I see there are men reaching out to you already, grab ahold of them!!!!

- Hay man. Do you have a home group and sponsor. My main place to hang on the web is a place called In The Rooms. It is also a recovery site. It has over 100k years of clean time with its members. You can email me direct if you need some help. Hugs

Is there anybody out there?
I'm doing the best to help myself and find help. It's so difficult without insurance. I have to wait a month before I even have orientation for my city's outpatient program. It seems like help is just a joke, and everyone who's supposed to help me is just laughing at me behind my back.
I found this place but it seems like a dead zone. I am the only person online right now. All the other online support communities are just like this one though.
So I don't know; I'm starting to think that… Continue
