Rayna, hope you feel better soon. I think we all have those stages of feeling emotionally drained. Hope you find strength you need soon. ((((( Rayna )))))

Glad to hear you are doing well, Richard! I know it has to be exciting to be 7 years into recovery and helping others along the way is awesome.

I know I can make it. I'm doing really good now. The best thing about the new boyfriend is that he's a support system for me outside of my rehab meetings. Before him, I didn't really have support from people outside of meetings. I needed some sort of support, ya know? He's that support. He encourages me to do well and when I feel the urge to use, he reminds me of how I told him I felt during my relapse and it makes me snap back into reality again. It's nice having him around, but we're definitely taking it slow.
