Ever since I was young I felt all alone and out of touch with society and reality. I ran away as a child but it was only to a neighbors house and never lasted long. It wasn’t anything my family did or didn’t do, it was me. As I grew older I found that using was a good way for me to have companionship and for once I felt as though I might fit in. This helped for several years, but the feelings came back and my consequences became more severe in the form of jails, police, judges and upset family members. I was introduced to NA after breaking into a friends house and serving some time in a facility under the judges orders. My first NA meeting in Evanston, WY seemed strange but I soon started to identify with them. They had been where I was and had done some of the same things. I soon lost the desire to use and it rarely comes back, but if it does it doesn’t last long and I can trust the Refuse to Use group in Evanston, WY of Narcotics Anonymous to help me through. I have had several jobs, and now I am more settled in my employment than ever. I have some cash in my pocket and a roof over my head and try to help others stay clean and learn how to live clean on a daily basis. In NA I never have to use again just for today. Anonymous

I always thought that I was different. Growing up was challenging and when I used drugs whether it was marijuana, alcohol or other substances the consequences always left my life in chaos and took me away from what I loved doing. I found jails and institutions and in May 2019 I found the Refuse to Use Group and my life really began to change. Attending NA meetings in Evanston Wyoming has made me feel better, taken my desire to use and helped me find a better way of life. Just for today I never have to use again. SRH
