"Don't let anyone walk in your head wearing dirty shoes." - Marci
E.
H.O.P.E. = HEARING OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCESI felt very empty when I stopped using. My body was tired. My
mind was racing. I was confused and lost. Fear was my new best
friend. I was scared of my own shadow. This uncomfortable feeling
was living with me 24-7. I really wanted it to go away. The first
glimpse of hope came from hearing people share at meetings. The
applause the group gave a newcomer for staying clean grabbed my
curiosity. I still had a monkey living on my back, even though I
had stopped feeding it days ago. People sharing in the meetings
helped me during these difficult times. The empty feeling I had
was not passing, it was lingering. My sponsor said to be a friend
to myself; that it would be okay. I hated him for saying that at
the time, but I sure wanted it to happen.
