Question by christina6marie: What kind of support is out there for recovering drug addicts, I have been clean for 3 years?
I do not want to attend meeting with 1 week or a few days sober people because I am weak. I pulled myself out and never looked back. I have questions, I watch intervention and I envy them because they are high…I think one more time…no my kids, my family, my life…but I want to get high. Where can I go?
Best answer:
Answer by 57rider maybe you feel sad or have a mental condition that makes you want to get high to feel happy, a counselor or psychiatrist may be able to help you. if you have to work to make money for your family alot of jobs have random drug testing so that stops alot of people from using drugs because they know they will lose their job if they have illegal drugs in their system.i don’t know of any support groups hopefully someone else on yahoo answers can help you find one, good luck to you

RALPH COUEY | Motorcycles can be risky rides
A couple of years ago I discovered a neat tool, part of the Google universe, called “Google Alerts.” You designate key words and an e-mail address, and Google then searches the ’Net 24/7 for results. As the backbone of my job is research, this has made things easier to find those needing snippets of information. Most of my alerts are work-related, but some of them are there just for fun.
