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?

Well first of all congrats on being clean and sober!!!!!! That really takes alot of guts esp. on your own, im both proud of you and humbled, i dont think i could do that. I watch intervention too. I think your best bet is to ask your family doctor if they can recommend any support groups for advanced recovery. I think that you are right going to the meetings with those that have just quit is a big risk of setting yourself back. Maybe google your local area for support groups, or if you cant find any ask someone you trust to sponsor you, that way you will be accountable not only to yourself but to someone else who can give you encouragement that maybe is sometimes hard to give to yourself. Maybe ask your kids to make a list of the positive changes that they have seen in you in the past three years and use that as a reminder of what you are working so hard for. You have come this far and to quit on your own to begin with was probably one of the hardest things that you could ever do, just keep in mind the achievments that you have already made. Good luck to you, YOU DESERVE IT!!!!! IM ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!! If i can be of anymore help or if you ever need to talk or vent feel free to email me at pippinsgirl6@yahoo.com :)

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

Call your nearest mental health hospital / ward. Tell them you are looking for meetings to attend. Very likely they will know.
