I hurt my family so much! <BR/>The thing is, Noor, you did reach out for help, & by God's Grace, it was to another addict!<BR/>I've had the opportunity to make it up to my family, & today they trust me. What a gift! All they ever wanted for me was to get well, & be happy.<BR/>We can't go on beating ourselves up for our past. We have the opportunity & the responsibilty to use our past to help others. You are doing that, it is intended for you. You've helped many of us by posting your story. I will do the same, as well as keep going to meetings, keep working with others in the program, or out. That is my responsibility today, to give away what I have recieved.<BR/>I still have waves of guilt, & shame over the hurts of others thru my disease, I don't think that is what our families, & God wants for us tho. Keep on Keepin' On. Much love to you!sharonsjourneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10397338051674165096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33346377.post-87135497163197879562007-08-28T22:43:00.000+08:002007-08-28T22:43:00.000+08:00Hi Noor,<BR/>That really was an emotionally deep post, I was at uni u know doing a physics degree, thats when I realised I wasnt normal and found that drink could make me feel better ...<BR/>I also had cannabis but in my skint student days I sniffed petrol from my motorbike petrol tank to make me go on trips to places where I was loved, I think I was with angels then.<BR/>I certainly was in 1990 when I got badly burned when my petrol tank blew up luckily I didnt burn my face and clothes can conceal the scars I still carry.<BR/>So I choose the safer option of alcohol somehow never tempted on to expensive heroine but I have no doubt had I been more involved with the lads my age and less of a social leper I would of.<BR/>Now all these years later I aqm learning to live and your story has so many parallels with mineMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16204327191044441383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33346377.post-17076184575510218932007-08-28T08:30:00.000+08:002007-08-28T08:30:00.000+08:00NIce post Noor!
