Hey everyone, hope all is well and everybody trudging through the path to the light,
I used to be very active in this group/ yet under a different name,
Been over a year since I've been on here
Still clean and sober , Almost 8 years now.
And I just wanted to reach out to anybody that is struggling with family.
After 2 years I finnaly got custody of my son.
And they say sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly .
It was a journey, long and hard but it will materialize if you work for it,
To all the dads out there dont give up.
1 day at a time brother

Congrats of 6 years, and maaan, if I didnt give it to my higher power eveymorning. Praying for serenity and not peace makes a difference
Great to hear you won the battle buddy - I can't really remember where you were at with it all as its quite a while since you have been on here. I did wonder what had happened to you though, as you know many have come and gone over the years in this group. Things have been pretty quiet for a while in here but it would be nice to hear some shares from some of the newer guys that have joined up recently
Thanks brother, I took time off and started that journey, got locked out account and got back in for like a week. And got forgot info again. And figured not to bother the mods again as its been almost 2 years, so ya know just starting fresh.
Yeah man I understand the struggle. I started using Heroin when I was 18 and that stuff took me through the most. I couldn’t lick it no matter how hard I tried. I would get some clean time here and there and then would eventually succumb to it again. I did this for almost two decades. Until eventually I got ahold of the wrong stuff last year and it almost took me out. Thank God for Narcan! I haven’t used since. I say all that to say I that the only power that we truly have in this life is our experience and hopefully some day I can inspire someone else to get clean. If either one of you ever need to talk feel free to reach out, just remember NO MATTER WHAT!! We’re in this together
Thanks brother. And I've lost some family members form overdoses. Narcan is saving lives. Proud of you
Love the positivity! No need to take in chemicals that tear your body down. Not to mention what it does to the mind. Keep up the good work and always focus on your goals. I’ve got 8 years clean unless you count coke. Then it’s 4. But the real monster was heroin. So I understand how hard it can be. But one day I just decided I’m not gonna buy any or hang out with those who use. It was so fucking easy after that. It really was. Now if some one offers it to me I can say no without hesitation. It’s more worry than it’s worth.
Thank you brother, to thy own self he true bro, you know where you have come from and where you at now, for real congrats, everyday is a milestone for people with our afflictions. My circle is so small now, but gives you a chance to take care of yourself
I am also in recovery and just celebrated a year of continuous sobriety for my DOC. I just wanted to say I am proud of you and even though I may not know you I understand how hard this journey is. I am kind of having a different journey than you though, me and my girl have actually grown farther apart now that I am clean. Probably because of all the damage during the chaos of the past few years before getting clean, but I just wanted to say thank you for reaching out and giving us some inspiration. Keep up the hard work my friend
That means alot , we all our connected in some way. And I've been there brother, main thing is you have to continue to do it for yourself,( "the first thing you put infront of your sobriety ,will be the second thing you lose") i was that tornado they thak about in recovery i get it.
Some grow distant because they wanna see your next move, maybe after d.o.c, we have begged and promised time and time again to those we love, maybe they just wanna see what we do and not we say,
Ego is a big thing when we get clean too, keep it humble and do for others when ya get in ya head ,it helps
