Quote From: maxine1983 hi im a 22 year old female at the age of 19 i started drugs to get out of being unhappy it was the biggest mistake of my life all i did was try to hide it till i couldnt any longer anyways i got off cold turkey almost 2 years ago today i think it was easier because i wasnt on it for as long as i wanted to be i didnt want to quit i did it for my neices who are my angels i couldnt stand that they didnt want to be around me the way i was im not happy that i did drugs cause i dont think ill ever not want them but im now going to have my first baby with my now ex boyfriend he is still a drug user he wont stop so im forced to not be around him anyways im scared that i wont be able to tell my baby when he/she is older of the dangers of drugs. i have a college degree now and everything is good HI MAXINE1983- I'M A 42 YR OLD ALCOHOLIC NAMED KIM. I JUST WANT TO SAY CONGRATS ON YOUR 2 YRS SOBER! IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW WHO REALIZED THE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER NOW. I HAVE 3 KIDS, 19-16-&11, AND JUST GOT MY THIRD DUI AND AFTER SPENDING TIME IN JAIL AND RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS ETC. AS WELL AS LOOSING MY HUSBANDF OF 23 YRS, I FINALLY REALIZE WHAT REALY MATTERS IN LIFE, AFTER WASTING SO MUCH OF IT. NOW I TREASURE EVERY SECOND I SEE MY KIDS AND EVEN JUST GET TO LOOK UP AT THE SKY AT NIGHT. LIFES TOO SHORT TO WASTE IT W/ DRUGS OR ALCOHOL, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A MOM. YOU STAY SOBER AND TAKE TIME TO THINK AND TRUELY BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, EVEN IF IT'S JUST RIGHT HERE-RIGHT NOW, AND START YOUNG TO TEACH YOUR KIDS TO DO THE SAME,ALWAYS COMMUNICATING WITH THEM WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BIG OR SMALL FROM THE TIME THEY CAN TALK AND WHEN THE TIME COMES TO DISCUSS IT WITH THEM, THE WORDS WILL COME NATURALLY AND EASILY. ALLOW THEM TO BENEFIT FROM YOUR EXPERIANCE. I KNOW IT'S GOTTA BE HARD SINCE YOUR BOYFRIEND STILL DOES DRUGS,(HOPEFULLY BY STAYING AWAY FROM HIM HE'LL REALIZE WHATS MORE IMPORTANT) BUT STAY STRONG TO YOURSELF (HE'LL NOTICE )AND THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE ,AND IF YOU KEEP THAT AS YOUR PRIORITY, BY THE TIME YOUR KIDS ARE FACED WITH THAT DECISION ,YOU CAN TRUST IN THE JOB YOU'VE DONE AS A MOTHER THAT YOU WILL KNOW THEY WILL MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.TRUST ME, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE ME 20 YRS FROM NOW TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.
