Hi! My name is Mona Browning of Ga. I am also known in several other forums here as hummingbird.

I was addicted to cocaine, chased it like a fiend, and went through a great deal of money, lost my self respect, the trust and respect of my friends and family, lost a good relationship over it, and endangered my health, not to mention my very existance, I was in the wrong area late at night and was

abducted and held hostage for 5 hours, repeadedly raped, beaten, and I almost died when I was found.

NO DRUG is worth putting ourselves in such horrible situations, If you really WANT to escape, feel healthier

think with clarity and having a renewed energy for the NATURAL highs that life alone has to offer,then put it down, pick up your phone, and call for help. If money is is an object, there are foundations that can help and getting help through your own Dr. or county is another, let me tell you a little about where I went, and how their loving approach actually saved me from killing myself!

It's called Behavioral Health Of The Palm Beaches

(BHOP The first thing I saw was their understanding and loving attitude. They made me feel so welcomed, and I didn't feel as though i was there to be punshied, but nurtured back to serinity, where their classes, counselors, beautiful surroundings, and just enough freedom to where I didn't feel "jailed", it was a progressive program that made me feel SAFE and UNDERSTOOD. I can't sing their praises enough, I learned so much, I became so close to the staff, They became my FAMILY. When it was time for me to leave, I found the parting quite emotional. After I came home, I felt a longing to go back, and I started calling them, and going to their private chat site to talk about how I felt, and they are right,I felt like that because That's where I felt safe, from others and myself, and where I was deeply understood, as they taught me valuable lessons and the medical staff nursed me back to health. Now, You don't have to go to that location, but go somwhere to find that kind of help and understanding, I hope to work for them one day, I would consider it a blessing to share my story, and reach out to someone who really wants the help I got! I have been clean ever since I got home in March, and I never felt better, the thought of the demon drug sickens me, and I have helped one friend find that help that I did. That's all I want to do now. I have my bad days like everyone else, but I get through it, especially when I think about what I have in the friendships I made with those who cared to share so much of their time and tenderness, to make me WANT to be like them! I have my life back now, though I have a brain tumor and just had a heart cath done, I still feel excited inside even on my worst days knowing the demon drug has no control over me anymore, and I have a real chance, thanks to my friends at BHOPB!

(((Mona)))): Thanks for sharing your story of hope. I know it must have been very hard. Keep up the good work! I only have 20 days in, but I am so glad I was able to get the support I needed. I wouldn't have minded going somewhere like you mentioned, but when you don't have insurance, you do what you have to. I went to a private doctor who helped me to go through detox at home and have been attending NA meetings, making new friends and it's been going pretty good! It was nice to be able to be at home since I didn't have to worry about being tempted or bothered by anyone here and without feeling the constraints you would feel in a rehab. I tried to do it cold turkey, but I really was going to lose it or die! You can die from going through withdrawal of heroin. I applied for county funded rehab but had to wait 2 1/2 weeks before they had one available and by that time I already went through detox and had 18 days clean. You are right, there are funds available if you qualify to people that need to go to a rehab, which is in most cases the best thing to do. Then they don't have to worry about being tempted and going out once they start feeling better. Plus, you have the meetings to go to and you can always get something good from those if you are really looking. I think when a person is really ready that God makes a way for them and you just have to go with it. I am glad you found somewhere to help you to feel better about yourself and get your life back! God bless you. Hugs, Chickie
