How-do? This site really appears to be a place for me to fit in.. Kool Beans!!!
Hi, I am Nodak and I am Chemically Dependant! Committed to being sober on 4/29/08. My story is I have been copping a buzz since 1979/80. Preferred to smoke weed over alcohol and did almost anything I could get my hands on that did not require the use of needles for the next 10 yrs. Got into a job that had mandatory drug testing and quit the weed and other illegals/illicits. Started drinking a whole lot more beer… At first my drinking was just recreational usage, then for the last 7 yrs, I started hitting it pretty much daily. Between beer and taking any scrip drug I could get by with, bring it on… I believe I meet the criteria of a “functioning user”.,
What made me quit? Primarily, sick and tired with my obsession to get high and my deceit. I have a flippin gazillion other reasons to pursue sobriety, but that’s my primary reason.
My current quandary right now is to find a meeting that I “fit in”. 20 odd yrs ago, I went to an AA meeting and admitted to drug use, man was that the wrong thing to say at that meeting… So I am kind of shy about just dropping into any old meeting. But I am going to check em out and do my best to find one that works for me..
As of right now, things are going well, got a small network of friends and family to help…. But I want to find folks “like” me… This place I think will lead me there…
Thanks for listening..
