Wow! what can I really say. These last few months have really sucked. A couple of months ago I had a good friend die. Jason was a really cool dude. Though he was often moody he had reason for it. I remember about 9 years ago I pretty much lived with this guy. We would smoke pot all day everyday, on Sundays we would do nothing and order delivery and call it “dead beat Sunday” I really miss those days. As we got a little older we did become distant from each other, not that we didn’t like each other our lives moved in different directions. He kept smoking pot and I moved on to heroin. I don’t know what to say is that I really miss him. It has taken a full month and some more to set in that he is gone. I pulled out the card you get at the funeral and put it in a frame and set it in my room. I think at this point that I really realized that he was gone. What I don’t understand is why an event like this would want to make me do drugs? It has been an uphill battle, I keep plugging away one day at a time. It just seems like everything sucks right now. I didn’t have any money when I was using everyday. Though I have a little more right now, still seems like I have very little. The days seem longer and I don’t seem to be much happier than I did a year ago. I quit going to Narcotics Anonymous, I think I need to find a new group. The one I was going to sucked. Will my life get better?

it does get better. i know everyone says that shit, but it does. dont disconnect from your help…find another group that you like and let people know where you are at. I stopped going to meetings for years and had some stuff happen to me that brought me to a point where i never thought i would end up. i started going to meetings again and got some new people in my life. helped me tremendously. what i have come to find out is that so much is in your perspective. stay focused on the little things…….peace
Yes. Read the Promises in the Big Book. Find meetings you like and go as often as possible. Get a sponsor and work the steps. And call someone – a blog doesn’t get to us fast enough!
