The old....."No one understands me" lie..... Mood
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 | An Inspiring story

 

 When we as addicts begin to lie to ourselves.....well, we're in trouble..... BUT  when we start to believe the lie....it's time to call the guys in the clean white shirts to come "git'us" cause we're almost all the way gone.

 

Some where along the line I started to think I was alone in this.....and believed it whole heartedly....then I found this site and started reading from a distance.....then got the nerve to actually sign up and then FINALLY actually started to participate........After reading all your different stories from all the members here, I realized that I was coming out of my cave slowly yes, but coming out I was.

 

I am now offically on my own after twelve years of marriage. Thanks to an old friendship that started in prison some 18+ years ago, I have a room I'm renting. Still fighting each day as it comes to stay clean......so Ya'll keep writing okay??

 

Again thank you Daily Strength for thinking to build this site .....and mostly....THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING PART OF THIS.....it's helping.......(I'm just a little thicker headed than most) BUT it is making a difference.

 

God Bless you all........Today I can say I'm alive and that means I still have a chance!!
