We all need some level of support. Either from the rooms, a sponsor or fellow recovering addicts, support is key. It is pertainent for recovery. You can not spot self-deception by yourself.

(oh, and Erin, I DO think everyone should have a 12 step program of some sort;-))

Be well dear and keep up the good work. If no one today has told you that they are proud of you today, know that I am.

Today is the 21st anniversary of my mother’s death. I’m definitely going to make a meeting tomorrow. I’ve been struggling with the temptation to go back to Percocet. 21 years since Mom died doesn’t make the grieving go away. My mother had one year clean time before she passed away at age 63. I feel so sad. I wish I knew what made her so unhappy besides her addictions. Sometimes I wonder if she even was truly able to love me. I have finally come to an understanding of why she gave me up and put me in foster care..to give me a better life. But I did not dodge the bullet of addiction. I am fighting to stay clean even though I’m crying inside.
