You are so lucky living where you are, 72F sounds like heaven to me, I'm sure it will to all us Brits & Irish. It's prolly about a miserable 35F here, windy rainy and bloody freezing!
btw, what's your experience on NA meetings and the 12 step programme?Sounds a bit like the drug counselling project I go to, they have all sorts of support/advice projects like the NA meetings, alternative therapies (like accupuncture/ reiki/Indian head massage etc), one on one counselling etc, they don't prescribe any meds it is an additional support centre to the clinic where I get my scripts, where I don't get much time with the key workers there, prolly about 1/2 hour at most.
Anyway, at this centre I attend, they have NA meetings there but I've never attended them, never attended any meetings like that. I just go there for one on one counselling and the alternate therapies atm. Counsellor has mentioned NA meetings, but don't know if it would help, don't know how i'd get on with sitting in a group like "Hello... my name is Basket and I am a junkie"

Then again I can see it would help, as you could swap snippets of info on how to stay drug free and that. I sort of see BL as my NA meetings lol i've learnt quite a few things since coming on here and met some sound as a pound ppl :D
They also mention the 12 step programme, I don't know much about this, is it like a faith based programme? as I not really a religious person mesself, so I don't know.
Just wondered if these programmes/meetings would help me out, I know everyone is different and different things help different ppl. I'll have to have a think about it.
You're doing a proper amazing job @ staying clean, keep up that good work! 18 days since you last had any subs? Wish I was in the same situ, hopefully will get there eventually.
In the last 2/3 weeks I've had prolly about .1 of gear, it wasn't all that either. Had a clean last time I went to clinic, they can test it there and then with the urine samples. They do the mouth swab tests as well, which they have to send off for results, I think they do them as well, as they a bit more accurate than the urine ones. Hopefully the taking the bits of gear now & again will get further and further apart, til I get down to taking either none at all, or once every blue moon.
If anyonwe would have known nme before, no-one would have thought I would be able to get off the stuff ever.
Anyway, gonna rush off out to the chippy for me tea, laters
