I'm new here too and i just wanted to say that these people are awesome and we are so lucky to have found such a great support site. the people who posted before me said most of what i wanted to say.

you are truly amazing to have walked away from heroin. that really does take a strong constitution.

but 27 is a great time to start over i should know i did it. i switched my major, my bf, and most of my losers friends when i was 27 and my life has improved dramatically. life is nothing if not possibilities. just be brave and keep your eyes open to the opportunities that are all around you.
