Maybe it's a US (I'm from Oz - the title is really weird tome?) thing but this is not a competition, it's about your own personal recovery. Stuff others and stuff "winning". Just lead the best life you can. Just an observation - Capitalism does not have to be everywhere. Actually, I object to the title of this site, “What do Winnners Do”.

Your story is amazing. I too have suffered crystal meth addiction and it wasn't very long ago that I was in a detox center. There are so many great resources/communities on the web for all sort of addicts. My own personal favorite and specifically in terms of their crystal meth info page is http://www.myaddiction.com/methamphetamine.html Do you know any others? Wow. Your story is amazing.

At first it looked like something someone left in 2005. I became further curious, wondering if the person who created the site had relapsed, then I found the posts. I have relapsed a couple times in th last year. This is not good..but your site will renew in me the urge to stay sober. Thanks I was heartened tonight to see your site.

Your seem so eager, and your willingness is the key. Just remember to respect the power your disease has, and know that everyday we are not "WORKING" on our recovery, we are working on a relapse. My own experience/history with addiction/recovery/relapse/recovery has taught me that! Hugs, Janice Oh Erin, you ARE winning! Your seem so eager, and your willingness is the key.

If you haven't used that day then you are a winner. My sobriety is just under a year, at first it was all I could do just to not use for the day. I guess now I expect more from myself. By not using I am now making it possible to make self improvements. I guess at this stage in the game if I'm able to start and work on some of the issues behind my addiction...I consider myself to be doing what the winners do.

Since winners never quit, I guess we have a winner! Now if you ask where the finish line is... Recovery is a never ending pursuit that you never “quit”.

Now if you ask where the finish line is…

As far as the "answers" we seek, the only thing I do know is that I know NOTHING. But I remain teachable. If I lay my head down tonight, and I have not used, I am a winner……
