Welcome

Welcome to Addiction Recovery and Support. Here you will find helpful articles, advice, and support from other addicts who share similar problems, abuse, patterns, and choices you have had in your life. Read what others share about their addictions and learn from their mistakes so you can find hope in your own life. Learn that your addictions were only an effort to block out what was really hurting you; that you need to dig deep to uncover and resolve the core issues that led to your addictions in order to stop the repeating patterns. Learn that "Progress, Not Perfection" is important. Find understanding, love, and compassion. For some people AA and NA meetings may complicate their lives more and possibly lead to relapses because of associating with (and dating) other addicts in recovery, so finding solutions online and having someone supportive to call, email, or blog with can sometimes offer a good alternative to meetings. May you find the help you need. Never give up. If you take one step backwards, simply take two steps forward and try, try again. All it takes is an effort to be ready and willing.
