Before I came into Juvinal Hall I used to run away from my emotions by using drugs beacuse I thought that it would help me solve them but in reality it was just ruining my relashonship with my first childs mother and I ruined it so much that she left me. I thought that she was out to get me but she really tried to help me but I thought that I didn't care about her but when she left me and went back to her mothers I finally found out how much I really cared about her and tried to get my act together but it was too late and I went back to using drugs up until I got locked up in here.While I've been in here I've realized how much my drug using was affecting my familey.

AB>name is Adam and I am an alcoholic.. Been sober for 9 months now, and it Congradulations! AB>please send me back some email!! Someone!! They say it only takes 2 to AB>have a meeting.. Remember... you are never completely alone. AB>out.. I am 26 years old and I am married, via a 4 month old baby girl.. Very Lucky, or should say blessed. I am sure you agree. AB>Marriage is really a struggle in recovery especially when you trying to AB>stay sober at the same time.. Try these: Live & Let Live First Things First Step 10 Gratitude One of these will usually help when struggling with a marriage in recovery. AB>who can share with me a little bit on how to get a long better with my AB>spouse who is also an alcoholic in recovery? Here's how you can use gratitude in a really stressful situation: "God, thankyou for making her sicker than you made me." Then remember: "There but for the grace of God go I." AB>with a spiritual experience < my daughter being born > 27 hours of hard AB>labor for my wife! I disappeared during labor on the first two. Had to celebrate. I'll bet you & her are glad you were there. AB>week. It was really tough, but God saw us through it all, my needs were AB>met thank goodness. I used to have a lot of material things in my life AB>but the course of my disease took it all away. I went through a real financial swing there also, but lost a bunch AFTER sobriety. Confusing? God granted me sobriety just in time for me to handle the hardship. (thankyou, God. See - gratitude applicable almost evrywhere!) AB>total control the last 3 years of my boozing spree. Went into a serious AB>manic depressive state for about a year after that. Heck, the depression Can you spell "lithium"? Or "Eskalith"? Being an alcoholic can bring about manic-depressive symptoms. Sobriety often removes much or all of them. "Dual-diagnoses" are often in error. It's like treating someone with measels for zits. The zit medication does dry up the measels, but... :-) AB>people say it is getting better for them pretty quick after a few months AB>of sobriety? Well not for me, my consequeses are still there. Creditors, AB>emotional problems, etc.. But I am really trying to use the steps to AB>work out my life, it is a very slow process but it is working.. I look at the disease as one of those rotating doors. The insanity is in going 'round & 'round for years. When you finally stop, the door hits you in the rear end. Don't go 'round again, and the door won't hit you again. The door is the consequences. AB>I would really like to have a friend online.. I will continue sharing my AB>experience, strength and hope later if I can get some responses.. Soon!! As you know... you already have two million friends (+/-). You just met one.
