thanks guys and gals! today is a special day for me, ive had an extra sense of pride all day. we've all had our trials in life, but this i gota say is the hardest thing to conquer. for so long i was wondering if id ever be 30 days clean, just could never break that 2 week point. but after awhile you just start living life again. not just existing but feeling it and being apart of it. of course theres still the crappy days, but those days still arrived on opiates, just made things more miserable. theres hope, keep on truckin. just got off work, got some coffee goin, gona relax and watch the game tonite!

Hello ice
Yes,the grass sure is greener on the other side.
Now if I could only find that darn lawnmower to trim it a bit
Through your recovery,there are going to be proverbial tools for you to pick up and utilize.
You'll know what they are and where thery're located when the time is right.
Keep up the good work
Sincerely
Phoenix

congratulations!!! great to hear that... my fiancee is off of them too now she is one month clean and im so proud of her
give her a high five its quite a feat. ive battled cancer, beat it, lost my leg to it but won my life but nearly lost it to those stupid little pills. it was a fight for my life and now i have it back, best wishes!
I was just re-reading this thread and a thought came to my mind.... time. I remember thinking as I was coming off the drugs how much time had passed in my life on them. Now so much time has passed since I have become restored. It kind of has just flown by.
Look at you... over 8 months sober and restored already! Time does go by quickly, doesn't it? Too quickly to waste it in a haze of drugs, in a stupor.
I am happy for both of us. :-) Happy we met, happy we are letting the quickly passing time go by productively, happily and honestly engaging in life.
Stay strong and commited always to this restored life we have been blessed with.
