Hi

You've got it right, but pip was just saying that we have a thread at the top of the forum specifically for intros, leaving more space for advice/solace and social threads.

May I suggest, first things first, that you are not an addict? You are a person who has had, and who currently has, an addiction to (I'm assuming) meth. Your addiction is now who you are, it is just a symptom or surface characteristic, albeit pervasive.

Welcome back... sorry for the circumstances of your return though.

Yeah

Welcome back! You're acknowledging and being honest with yourself about the consequences of your actions. If you can maintain that perspective then the necessary change will happen. Stick around

I had a friend in your position, he was totally broke, lost everything to it, his business, his fiance of many years, his family disowned him, ended up doing some pretty sick shit to make cash, spent 90 days in jail, came out and went back to it, attempted suicide, finally hit a new bottom and realized he was just as suicidally depressed while high as he was sober and the fight just wasn't worth it any more, so he checked himself into inpatient.

He now has a successful career in advertising, has regained the confidence of his friends, has met a new girl that he is infinitely more happy with than the last one, and is buying a house. Go figure.

You can bring yourself back from it dude, even when you've utterly destroyed your life, you can come back from it. It's like recovering from a terrible car accident and serious traumatic injuries, it takes time to rehabilitate yourself and become functional again, it sucks, but the human body and mind are more resilient than most people give them credit for and people come back from the most horrible things all the time, you can repair yourself.

welcome back to TDS, and yes it's still a place where people can come to whine about how fucked up things have become for them to people who have been there or are there presently, an empathetic ear, even a virtual one, can be quite a commodity.
