Ok, so yesterday I received my 2 month key chain at Narcotics Anonymous for being 2 months clean. I know that I am not quite 2 months clean yet, but I went and got my keychain so I could show my mom, who lives four hours away from me, how sober I am. I am having a wonderful time being sober. Sometimes I feel like it sucks because all of the emotions that I am having are new to me. I used to cover them up and I feel like crap when I vent the negative emotions out. But afterwords I feel much better. It has been very hard to stay sober because I live with 4 drinkers, one of them smokes pot, which is my drug of choice. Mostly I wouldn't be able to stay sober if it wasn't for my best friend Sammy. I can talk to her about anything I want to and I am greatful for her. I don't have much of a support system now, but I guess you could say that I am in the process of creating the roots that I need in my sobriety. When I have all of the roots that I need then I will start to grow.

Good job and good luck. My best friend was on possession probation and all her roommates kept smoking in front of her - I was the only one to quit with her, because I saw how hard it was to always be around it. Try writing and getting out of the house more. Hang in there and congrats on nearly 2 months (I'm one month myself)

Good stuff!!! The flood of emotions is perfectly normal, don't worry about it. Also don't worry about not talking much at the meetings, that's ok too. Just go along one day at a time, keep an open mind to other ideas and possibilities, and do the best you can. That's enough.
Since you're a compulsive gambler, I'll not wish you "luck"....we all tried relying on "luck"...it didn't work before, and it's not gonna work this time eiher....instead....."Keep up the good work!!"
