Smart girl, you are so right! I'm proud of you to realize this.

We live for our drug of choice. We work for it, plan for it, put it first over responsibilities like bills and sometimes children. We look forward to it in our day, we chase it....hustling our way to get it. We use after a hard day to cope, we use after an easy day as a reward to ourselves. We use to wake up and get going. We use to beat a hang over. We use to calm the nerves. We use to put up with family. We use to walk out the door. We use to look in the mirror.

It is our higher power.

What's really kewl is that we can go to other cities and towns to attend meetings and meet others like us and share our story to help others. You got to give it away to keep it, as they say. Just have to go online or call the main number.

You are doing so awesome, there's hope for you yet! Atta girl!
