Im gonna kick this group off..
So I just got home from long term treatment (7mos) My 4year old daughter was there with me. We returned last month to my parents house, Im 29, I have 10mos clean... and found out 2 days ago that I am pregnant! Although Im an adult and a great mother, I fear my parents response since I currently live with them. My feelings are ALL over the place right now. The amount of fear and anxiety alone is wearing me down by the minute. I dont know what to do, say, or think.

Hi Kristin H. I'm not telling you what to do - you have to decide what you honestly believe your HP's will for you is in this situation and then just no matter what DONT USE! My name is Celtictat2girl70 on here and I'll be willing to talk to you whenever you need on wall or in private - pray about it. No major changes the first year - you already have one - is having the baby your only option for you personally?
Hey guys, thanks for your thoughts. Im doing better these days. I'll tell ya, this program called celebrate recovery has totally helped me. It's a faith based 12 step group...I know they're all over. If theres one in your area I suggest checkin it out. It took forever for me to have faith in anything let alone something I couldnt prove. Life is simply much easier now! Love you all!
Hi,you should be so proud of yourself. I would love to tell you my story, but I am a bit paranoid anymore. People that know me, will understand, but I would like to message with you. If you want to. I can tell you the whole drawn out story later, but I won't just talk about everything. Please message me that you got this and send me number so we can text.
Hi Kristinh....first off, congrats on 10 months clean!! Secondly, relax. All that fear and anxiety is not good for the baby, nor is it good for your recovery. You aren't the first woman to get pregnant during a less then perfect time, and I am sure you won't be the last.
well, I guess the big question would be "what do you want to do"? Do you want to keep the baby? If you do, than my following question would be how do you think your parents would react? Is there any chance they would be supportive of you and your children while you are getting on your feet? If not, as an addict just out of treatment, there are tons of resources available to you. Help with rents, securities, insurance, etc. All you have to do is look, and its there for the taking. and of course, if you decide to give the baby up, adoption is a wonderful thing, and there are tons of programs to help you with that. You didn't really state what you would like to do, so I am unsure and am sorry if I offend you. I won't give you info on abortion, that one, you are on your own.
Rest assured, theres help out there. Look around, talk to your folks before they feel you hid this from them. Lies always make people resentful. It may not be as bad as you think.
Good Luck
