• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Yesterday I got my first year clean in NA. It was great my sponsor bought me a cheesecake. I love cheesecake. Unfortunately one of my friends from the program didn't come and I'm afraid something bad might have happened. I gave him a call before I went and he said he got arrested and would probably going to jail. He was clean but he was speeding 19 over the limit and when the Police Officer saw his previous record he gave him a hard time. The officer said that Junkies never change and that he was still using drugs. He searched him and the car and found that he had someone elses ID in his wallet that he found on the ground years ago and never threw out. He seemed really upset but he said he was coming to see me get my year. He never showed up and didn't answer his phone when I called back.

Congratulations!!!!! God is so good, all the time. You have encouraged me today. I am having a stressful weekend with blessings abundant, but triggers abound. Stay focused on your recovery and your love of the Lord, and turn your friend over to Him.
