AskAnAddict MODERATOR 800 Thanks	What is success Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life, as by the obstacles one has overcome trying to succeed. Posted: 02/15/2011 7:00 PM View Creative Articles Received 2 Thanks for this Post
Dog SOBER COACH 357 Thanks SITE SUPTR	how i feel when yu ask me do yu love me Love is a word used so often about so many things and yet real love remains a mystery If someone asked me why i love yu a thousands thoughts would rush into my mind...... You are kind and thoughtful, giving and understanding and so very much more... yet words will never capture how beautiful your spirit is, how compassionate your heart is. So when i tell you i love you i'ts my simple way of saying that it makes me Happy beyond words to be sharing this mystery of love with yu.

Kitty SOBER COACH 980 Thanks SITE SUPTR	Your "User" Letter Dear Family/Friends/Loved Ones, I am a drug abuser. I need help. Don't solve my problems for me. This only makes me lose respect for you - and for myself. Don't lecture, moralize, scold, blame, or argue whether I'm stoned or sober. It may make you feel better, but it only makes the situation worse. Don't accept my promises. The nature of my illness prevents my keeping them, even though I mean them at the time. Promises are only my way of postponing pain. And don't keep switching agreements; if an agreement is made, stick to it. Don't lose your temper with me. It will destroy you and any possibility of helping me. Don't let your anxiety for me make you do what I should do for myself. Don't believe everything I tell you. Often I don't even know the truth - let alone tell it. Don't cover up or try to spare me the consequences of my using. It may reduce the crisis, but it will make my illness worse. Above all, don't run away from reality as I do. Drug dependence, my illness, gets worse as my using continues. Start now to learn, to understand, to plan for your own recovery. Find Families Anonymous, Nar-Anon, Al-Anon or CoDA; those groups exist to help families in just your situation. I need help - from a doctor, a psychologist, a counselor, from some people in a self-help program who are in recovery from a drug problem themselves - and from a Power greater than myself.

Kitty SOBER COACH 980 Thanks SITE SUPTR	The Addict You can't make me clean, though I know it is what you want for me to be. But until I want it. I won't be. You can't love me clean, because until I learn to love myself. I won't be. I know you must wonder how can I learn to love myself when I am caught up in a life style of self-hatred and self destruction. I can learn from my own experiences. I can learn from the things that happen to me along the path of my own mistakes. I can learn by being allowed to suffer the consequences of my choices. Life has a funny way of teaching us the lessons we need learn. I know it devastates you to watch me hurting myself. I know you want to jump in and save me. This helps ease your pain, but I don't think you understand just how damaging it is to me. You see, although I look and sound like your loved one. I am not. That person is in a self imposed prison way deep down inside of my being and what you see before you is an addict ruled and reigned by my addiction. I am a addict and my main focus is to feed the addiction. Every effort you put forth in the name of "helping me" falls prey to my addiction giving it more power to shackle me down a little more each time. I feed my addiction enough. So please don't help me. The only way for the real me to get free is to be free. FREE to fall as far down as I need to go in order to find the strength to fight and find my way back. To break free. How can or will I ever be able to get clean you wonder ... The same way I gave myself over to my addiction is the same way I can give myself over to my recovery. BY MYSELF By not enabling me you will be allowing me to reach "rock bottom". By trusting the process you move over and allow me to find the my own way back. You see, it is in the fight to get free that I will find myself. It is in the fight that I will learn to love myself and the more I love myself ... the more I will start to do to better myself, but I myself, must do this. I am aware that when I use I am playing Russian roulette with my life. I know this, but that is a chance I take when I use. The addict in me is willing to take that chance in the name of getting high. Rock bottom is but a circumstance away. I can't reach it you are blocking the entrance. I know you love me and you only want whats best for me ... but that very love keeps you blind sighted to just what truly is best for me and causes you to act from/out of fear and emotions. Please for my sake don't try to stop me... just let me go ... move out of the way and let me fall as far down as my addiction is going to take me ... as far down as I have to to reach rock bottom. Don't try to cushion the fall. Just believe in me and trust the process. Pray for me that when I do hit ... it is not with the impact that leaves me for dead (I know that is your greatest fear), but if it comes to that, be sure to tell my story so that others might learn from my mistakes and live.

Amanda SOBER COACH 195 Thanks SITE SUPTR	In The Rooms Lyrics IN THE ROOMS R Supa DOB;5/26/08 In my younger years i let my spirit run gettin' high, drinkin' all the time just for fun And I don't know where or when I crossed that line and I started dying I was so far gone that I couldn't find myself On the borders of insane is where I screamed for help Then i found the door that opened up my eyes and I came alive CHORUS In the rooms.. Where broken angels go and love is like an Army that comes to save your soul In the Rooms There's a miracle just waiting there for you when your at the bitter end you can learn to live again In the Rooms And God was something I didn't understand Till a stranger came and took me by the hand and he helped me through what i couldn't do alone and I knew I was home CHORUS In the rooms..Where broken angels go and love is like an Army that comes to save your soul In the Rooms There's a miracle just waiting there for you When your at the bitter end you can learn to live again In the Rooms BRIDGE When your sick and tired of bein' sick and tired and the desperation cuts you like a knife You can let it go once you face the truth inside you and start gettin' high on life CHORUS If faith is what you need We all come to believe In The Rooms Posted: 02/06/2011 8:49 PM View Creative Articles Received 2 Thanks for this Post

Kitty SOBER COACH 980 Thanks SITE SUPTR	What Addicts Do What Addicts Do My name's Jon. I'm an addict. And this is what addicts do. You cannot nor will not change my behavior. You cannot make me treat you better, let alone with any respect. All I care about, all I think about, is my needs and how to go about fufilling them. You are a tool to me, something to use. When I say I love you I am lying through my teeth, because love is impossible for someone in active addiction. I wouldn't be using if I loved myself, and since I don't, I cannot love you. My feelings are so pushed down and numbed by my drugs that I could be considered sociopathic. I have no empathy for you or anyone else. It doesn't faze me that I hurt you, leave you hungry, lie to you, cheat on you and steal from you. My behavior cannot and will not change until i make a decison to stop using/drinking and then follow it up with a plan of action. And until I make that decsion, I will hurt you again and again and again. Stop being surprised. I am an addict. And that's what addicts do. __________________ Posted: 02/06/2011 12:15 PM View Creative Articles Received 4 Thanks for this Post
