New member, not-so-new addict.

Hi everyone, i'm Taylor and i'm new to this forum. I'm a 23-year old xanax addict that has been addicted for around 8 years. I've been to rehab three times but I was never committed to actually getting clean, it was only to appease the courts or a significant other. This post right here is my only real confession of being an addict to anyone other than myself. I don't know what else to say other than I hope to make this a jumping off point to recovery, and my only fear is that i'll post this, get scared, and never come back. I just... dont wanna go through this shit anymore, i'm afraid i'm gonna die, and i'm slowly draining everyone i care about emotionally.

I'm new, only have gotten enough nerve up to admit that I can't function without my pills. It's "prescribed" (I find ways to get extra), and it's not "like it's BAD or anything" (denial talking) - but isn't it a red flag when your stash becomes a priority? You'd rather have a sh!t complexion than go "au naturel"? I'm totally in the closet; hoping to find some support in cyberland and meetings (found an n/a mtg, but I might chicken out). mle19210@gmail.com
