April 1

You Are Not Alone

The great thing is that we don't have to do it alone. And that's probably the most important thing in recovery.

I have to admit that my way didn't work. It worked for a lot of years, over twenty-five years, but the last year of my using wasn't very effective. I wasn't getting the relief and the peace of mind - you know; I wasn't getting numb enough to satisfy my demons. So, if it wasn't working, we have to get honest and try something different.

And what I found was a way out.

I found people who were willing to show me how they did it. So we don't have to do it alone.
