Hi I'm new to this site as of today. I want to learn the twelve steps and find support. My husband's drug addiction has changed me.

I'm 24 years young, so smart and determined. We have two little boys. I have a job. My children are amazing. But I'm so miserable. I wish I never met him.

I have built up so much hate in my heart it makes me cry.

His heroin addiction had ruined… everything.

In my heart I wish I could leave. I don't have love for him.

Welcome cschmid!

May I suggest attending Nar-Anon meetings, whether it is here in the chat room or in your local area. Life is far too precious to be spent living so miserably. This program has taught me that I can live a satisfying (and happy) life when I stop making my loved ones’ addictions the center of my world. It was hard to redirect my focus at first but with a commitment to working the Steps and the support of this fellowship I was able to detach with love and begin living MY life again. I began by looking for the blessings in my life however large or small and being truly grateful for them. I learned to live in the present, today, without dwelling on the past or fretting about what may or may not happen in the future. I never thought it was possible, but it was doable. Whenever I back slide it becomes easier to move forward again.

There is a recovery saying….”Try the program for 90 days. If not satisfied we will be glad to refund your misery.” 😛 What do you have to lose!

Yours in service and friendship,

Annie

Never look down on someone unless you're leaning over to help them up.
