Hi Everyone!
I am new here , just signed up, I had an issue with Crystal and I am some what clean now.. I say some what because I still have the urge to use from time to time. I suppose that will always be lurking over me. I started using 17 years ago, then I got married to a sailor and had to clean up fast, was clean for 14 years til the divorce, .. needess to say I started again when I met my current BF, He is locked up now and I am clean, but what I am unsure of is how to make him realize this is not the life for us. How do I help him??

Thu, September 28, 2006 - 5:33 AMYou help yourself. You stay clean ODAT and join us in this long, outrageous journey of self-discovery and non-stop seminar called SELF-LOVE. You discover how wonderful you are. No, more than your realize. You are damn fabulous..and your BF realizes it and gets it how you got there...or he doesn't, and you continue to celebrate how damn great it is to meld with a loving HP of your understanding and be part of that creation..even on a bad day.
Cuz Sister, this is about you. -

Thu, September 28, 2006 - 8:18 PMHi GypseDaze-
I'm sorry if I caused confusion, lol sometime my brain speaks things that my fingers cannot type ( hahaha) I try to be simplistic, but what kind of life would I be living if things were simple? LOL - I will take Philips advise, seems he knows the ropes, and has lived a few years.. knowledge is power. so I am willing to learn all I can! :)

Re: New to the Tribe
Thu, September 28, 2006 - 8:15 PMPhilip what you speak of, are true statements, I appreciate your honesty. I love myself now .. I didn't know how to do that for a long time. But when I wake up in the morning, I thank my HP for allowing me to actually wake up and not feel so strung out.. like I can actually clean my house and go to work without smoking a bowl of "motivation" first.
My new bowl of " motivation" is myself :) I just hope that when my BF gets out, he can see the real beauty of a real relationship with people, instead of the glass pipe.
