"Don't use, and go to meetings." - Dick B.
BRING THE BODY AND THE MIND WILL FOLLOWIt is amazing how the hardest things to do can have the simplest
solutions. I was in poor physical condition when I stopped using
drugs. My body was exhausted, and my mind was very tired. It was
literally all that I could do just to get to a meeting. Some
days, I do not think I listened to anything at all. I was hearing
people sharing, but my mind did not comprehend anything they
said. I cannot explain this, but when the meeting was over I felt
better. I went to meetings everyday, because they made me feel
better. My first participation started when I was asked to do a
reading. I then started opening the book and following as others
read. I came to, and woke up, simply by attending the meetings.

"The only meeting I was late for was my first one." - Ron L.
CLEAN UP OR COVER UPWhen I stopped using drugs, I was 27 years old. I had been on a
nonstop party for about 12 years. As I recall, many people did
their best to intervene. Once, I was told that I was writing the
passage that would be put on my tombstone. "Here lies James,
Unwilling to Change." For some of us, our drug of choice dictated
our consequences. It was obvious, even to me, that my days were
numbered. I was scared and tired. The desire to stop using was
slowly becoming a reality. I was strung out, and I was visiting a
clinic daily to keep from getting drug sick. I overheard a person
there say, "Dead man walking" when I came into the room. Thanks
to the twelve steps, I plan on delaying my funeral one day at a
time.
