Moms Blog

Good morning Tawny,
First of all, welcome to the message board.  You will find new friends here who care about you, have lived like you and who love being clean and sober and love helping others get out of the hell of active addiction.  I want you to know that we care about you and want the very best for you.  

First of all, yes the craving does go away and life without drugs and alcohol is not only possible, but also incredible.  THere is a lot of hope for you and everyone like us.  I would suggest first and foremost that you get out and get some help today.........treatment is available everywhere and there are a lot of people out there who can help you.  I know from my own personal experience that I cannot and do not want to do this alone.  Treatment will help you get through the withdrawal and the cravings and also help you work through a lot of crucial issues such as the pain and guilt of being an active addict.

If you can't get right into treatment, i would suggest you get to an AA or NA meeting immediately.  There are a lot of people there who have used like you, felt like you and know how to live clean and sober and can help you get there too.

Finally, I would suggest that you click on to the message board on your right of the main screen and start posting to women there.  There are a lot of women there who will support you through this and share their experiences with you on how they got clean and sober and how they are staying that way.  

We are friends here Tawny and while many of us have never met.........we still know each other and love and support each other here.  We are here for you and we care about you.  

YOu don't have to do this alone.  Please keep coming back and let us know how you are.  

Sending love and prayers from Iowa.  Judy
