Default Anyone in recovery?

I may be breaking the 11th tradition, but i'm just wondering if anyone else is a member of a 12 step group
I'm asking nicely if you think AA/NA is for quitters, or have jokes about it please keep them to yourself. I owe my life to both programs

no sir. I never started anything that could be addicting/detrimental to myself because I doubt my ability to quit. Never tried tobacco/weed/harder drugs. Allergic to alcohol so that keeps that away too.

I was in NA about a year, then had to let it go due to schedule and own personal laziness.. However, I can tell you confidently that I have not touched any substances that made me get in my original ordeal anyways... I cant lie and say I dont smoke geebah. Thats basically another reason I stopped because I felt I was cheating the system.

my two drugs of choice are alcohol and pain killers, not lortabs or vicodin either thats skittles to me, i'm talking about the real sh_t diluadid, roxies, fentanyl, even had an ordeal with heroin. I have been clean of opiates since april of 2010, I had a relapse with alcohol may 29Th but i'm back in the game stronger than i was before.

In all honesty it's been a very ruff road for me, most of the time im in pain because of my left ankle, but i've just learned how to deal with it, that and i have a cocktail of Excedrin, Aleve, and Benadryl. it doesn't kill the pain, it just makes it bearable

Did NA/AA for a while with a buddy back in my early 20s. The whole 12 step thing didn't fly well with me.

Not meaning to be intrusive, but seeing as someone has mentioned your story being in "other postings," what happened?

he's seen my progression online, i've posted a lot of my problems in ot, he's seen my post about my wife (at the time) getting in a horrible auto accident which killed my brother in law whom i was really really close to, times when i would post on other peoples threads f@#ked up out of my mind, about how much i love my two boys, about the divorce, and as of lately how much i've crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side
