Well I wanted to chime in again and let those know that I continue great progress in this new drug free life of mine. It's been 75 days now and I feel so very good, great actually. Energy levels are as high as I ever remember. It feels so good to be without pain meds in my system, I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs and jumping up and down wildly because I feel so great. I still come here to keep track of everyone and to remind myself that the dark side is still so very close and it would be very easy to fall into it. I have been around the lot a few times so I know all about pain meds and doc shopping and when to use insurance and when not to, how to fool the docs and discern when friends or work associates have pain med addiction issues (I can read people very easily now) even if they don't know they have one. I also know how easy it is to rationalize that if I just use the meds on the weekends that I can control the intake (sure, right!)

Anyways feeling so wonderful, so to each and all please keep up the fight and drive to your goal, the reward is well worth it. I'll be glad to help where I can or provide any insight or knowledge I've acquired, I know how I got corrected and I also know how I fell back into trouble.

Take care


Phil
