    I know Alan is probably not looking at this, but he is the man who got through to me last year. I seen him as the main speaker at Clean and Free by the Sea in Ocean Shores Washington. I sat through his speech high and walked out with a desire to stop using.
    I know that I had to do the work to get and stay clean, but it was Alan's message that really opened my eyes. If by chance Alan ever reads this message, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. My clean date is 3-16-14 and last Wednesday I was able to share 18 months clean.

    When you are at your lowest point and you know you are a empty shell of a person and you can walk in to a room where there are people who will call you friend, that want to help, you have found a very special place. I am grateful to God and NA. Today is day one, again.

    My name is Samantha and my husband's name is Paul we was on heroin and crack for 9 years in out of rehabs and prisons one was clean the other wasn't but we had decided to get clean together last year and it was the most hardest thing we have ever done but now we have been clean for 7 months now together with a baby on the way and our daughter back and all I will say it's possible to do it but only if you really want to do it then you will be clean and we have never been happier.

    One day at a time anyone can make it. I'm sick and suffering. I'm so tired of the rat race. I don't feel good these days because I relapsed. I've got about 10 days sober now. The anxiety that I feel is tremendous. I know alcohol isn't the answer. Fear can be deadly. My only release is in going to AA meetings.

      I just wanted to say that it is possible to be with your partner and be clean if u both really want to do it and be together me and my husband was on heroin and crack for over 9 years and it took a long time and alot of crap to get were we are today and we have been clean for 7 months now with a baby on the way and we got our daughter back so it's definitely possible if you both want this just make the right choices and carry on listening to these NA and when it reopens go to NA and carry on going there coz it works trust me the 12 steps program didn't work for me but as long as IV got my hubby I can do anything please believe in your self take care
