I am a recovering addict with triplets

Hi Im new to this site and just wanted to share a little of my story. I am 29 years old and have been using meth since I was 13 years old. I've been clean 15 months now. I've got 6 children, three of which I lost due to using. I quit last June because I found out I was pregnant. Not only pregnant, but pregnant with triplets!! I believe my babies have been my life saver. If not for them who knows where I would have ended up. They are 9 months old now and it's sometimes rough keeping up with them. But I do it. My other 3 children had grandparents to go to. These ones don't and that helps me stay clean. If anyone knows of some other web sites devoted to staying clean and sober Id like to hear about them. Thanks

Welcome to the message board Mom of 3!!!!!!  I'm worn out just thinking about taking care of three little ones all the same age!!!  WOW!  I bet they are beautiful and so congratulations.  There are a lot of us here who are moms in recovery and this is and has been a great place to gather support, get solutions, share funny stories, or just vent!  I have used this message board since the day it was started and it has been immensely insightful and also a great place to gather new friendships!  We have women here from all over Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Alaska and Georgia!!!  All of us have a lot in common here and we love meeting and greeting new friends so I hope you come back and join us as often as possible.  Michelle is one of our members and she has a post on here that has a different website for support too but I can't remember what it is.  
I'm so happy for you that your other 3 kids got to stay with your family and while it still would be painful that they are not with you..I hope you get to hear about them and see them sometimes.  
My name is Judy and I am a mom in recovery; have 3 kids (boy-26, girl 17 and another girl-16)......beautiful, incredible kids and then my son is married and I have 2 absolutely incredible grandkids (girl-5 and boy 1 in October).  I live in Iowa and have been in recovery for 12 years and love the life I have today. I am getting ready to hit the bed and read myself to sleep tonight but am glad I checked on here first.  Welcome and I hope we get to know you soon.  Your new friend in Iowa....Judy

Hey Mom of Trips.....
Great to hear from you again.  Sorry it has been so long since I read your blog. I think it is FANTASTIC that you are going to treatment.  I went in 1994 and actually completed a treatment that time.  I had been in treatment four times in the past and never completed but I learned something valuable in each and every one.  Please let us know how it goes with you and what is going on.  Also, if you can, jump in on the message board page and post a message.  I am so used to checking the message board that it takes me a while to get back on this page and check for new posts.  I am really looking forward to hearing more about your journey.  We are rooting you on from here in Iowa!!!! Love and hugs, Judy

Congratulations on the triplets and congratualtions on being clean.  I wish you all the luck in the world.

I'm writing to you as a producer at NBC in New York.  We looking into doing a program on meth and I would very much like to hear you story and perhaps feature it in the program.

I hope you have a moment to call me at 212-664-7012 or to write me an email at diana.frank@nbcuni.com with your number so I can call you.

Hang in there.

All best wishes,

Diana (Frank)
