Too ashamed to title my addiction...

Congratulations on coming clean. I wish you lots of hugs and prayers. But, there is one thing I am concerned with...

I come from a family of addictions and whether you realize it or not, you do need help. Substance abuse is a very powerful addiction and although you may feel strong today to overcome anything that comes your way...tomorrow might be another story.

I have family members who have stayed clean for months and then for no reason, they return to the habits. I believe it would help you lots if you got some help so that you will better be able to avoid the temptations that arise when you are feeling weak and vulnerable.

Thanks so much for not judging me. I truly love you guys for that.

dreamof145..I will definately look into it. You are right. Maybe a little outside help could help keep me on the straight and narrow.

Brook..thanks for reading, but what does (((jsj))) mean?

Sorry I am the judging type. I judge you to be a great mom and caring wife. I am so glad you chose to share this post with us. I wish you all the best in the word.

I would suggest you take dreams' advice. Getting some support will keep you on the right track.
We're always here for you

(((( )))) Is a big, 'ol cyber hug, jsj. I can't help it. In spite of what lots of people think of me....I'm the huggy type. LOL

I'm with Lauren on this. We *are* judging you - but not the way you were afraid we would. I absolutely see you in a similar light as Lauren. Cowards hide, jsj. It takes a special kind of strength and character to admit that we're human, we have faults and issues, and own them. You possess that kind of strength and character and I admire you for it.

Do not be afraid to ask for and get support from people who share your trials and tribulations. They are often the ones who can truly understand your battle and your struggles specifically because they share them, and that gives them special insight too. Don't discount it. Know that it's there if/when you need it, and if/when you do, be as brave and forthright as you were in sharing who you are with us.

You're gonna knock this one out of the park, lady. I have faith in you.
You've already started.
