New here Recovering one day at a time!

Hi i'm Lance I am a recovering addict and new to this website. I look forward to learning about things here and sharing some of my story. Next month will be 6 and a half years clean from drugs and alcohol my life is amazing. I grew up a little south of Houston Texas and i'm half Fijian and half white. I hope that the experiences I get to share on here will provide someone hope maybe even save a life. I am sorry for being blunt but, it is who I am. I hope you all will accept me as being a flawed person who is only trying to get better and help others in the process. I guess you could say i was part of the prescription opiate epidemic that effects many across the united states. It got up to 30 pills a day at one point and i never believed i would ever be free again. The good news is I am here Narcotics anonymous saved my life when all else had failed. I don't know what types of thing people talk about on here but my goal is to hopefully reach someone who is suffering and to let people know we can recover and there is hope ! Thank you all for allowing me to be part of this community.

hello @lancelangdon


you are very much welcome to steemit,a one of its kind in the history of social networks. i will like to share with you some lessons i learnt the hard way.

First,write on your area of strength, don't strugle more to get topics to write on, but when you write based on what you know/do well at, that becomes your brand and fellow steemians will know what to expect from you on every post.


don't beg for followers.


When people follow you on a quip pro quo basis, that's the foundation of not getting upvotes and comments because many of your followers didn't do so because they wanted what you have to offer but rather they are just there as numbers. #don't go for numbers, but value.


When i joined, after my intro post. i went low kay and started engaging with people on their posts and comments and like that,i was getting people that truly liked me for me. i must note that at some post as a newbie, i outrightly asked people to follow me but that was before i learned that it was one of the unwritten rule of steemit;don't beg for followers.


Again,paticipate in contests, it will conect you to people and probably, earn you some steem/steem dollar. and always try to leave a good comment on people's posts. this dose wonders. check out this contest[clickhere]https://steemit.com/fiftywords/@literature-trail/50-word-story-contest-week-19-join-for-a-chance-to-win-1000-trail-and-40-sbd

Finally, learn to engage. Get the esteem app on your phone so that after writing and posting with your pc,you can now use your phone and respond to replys on the go. This will help you build your followers.>/h4>

I hope that this piece will be of grate help to you as it has been for me[though i learnt the hard way]. Follow them and thank me later. : )

once more, you are welcome.
