Hello All,I have just registered to be on this forum because I know that the group support and energy is invaluable to someone like me..I recently began Level One SFQ and am trying my best to build a solid foundation.. I hope to be able to use what I learn to help others after I have first been able to help myself..I realize that I am probably very much the minority here since my serious health problem is both physical and mental..I am a heroin addict,desperately trying to stop this horrible habit..There are more people from all walks of life addicted to heroin than I ever dreamed..We are not all homesless,indigent,and uneducated.But,what I do feel we are is -spiritually,emotionally,and physically sick...I never thought I would end up as I am ,and although I feel very embarrassed and "less than" because of my addiction,I still forced myself to write and tell you who I am..Please do not think of me as garbage..I have been called that ,and worse,more times than you know..I got involved with this drug after making an extremely poor choice as to how I was going to get rid of the severe pain I carried with me for years as a result of being sexually abused as a child..The physical abuse I got used to,but the introduction to sex at 8 years old left me with such feelings of shame and self-hatred that I would hide myself when I was a young girl,when all of the other girls my age were out playing with barbie dolls and hopscotch...That is all I have to say for now..All I ask for is your compassion,understanding and support..Even if you think of me as a nobody who doesn`t belong..I am willing to tell you about me and take that chance..I truly believe that SFQ will be very helpful with any addiction..I will suffer alot of pain before I can heal,but I am focusing on what my life will be like after practicing SFQ..Then I can know what it`s like to live and help others to do the same..Thank you...S
