What recent good memories have you made?

[weaver71]

After detox we have to get out into the world and find a new life in it. I was wondering what fun memory you have made lately. I need more ideas of how to have fun.

I went ice skating with a bunch of preteen girls, bowling with 8-10 year old kids the next day. It was nice meeting my kids friends and their parents. I talked to people around the rink and ally. Going out and doing things  is connecting things together so I am fitting into a hole new life and world. I'm considering a tango/salsa class, I'll get back to you on that one.

My great memory is learning a new skill, airbrushing, and custom painting bikes. I used to spray friends pedal bikes as a youngster, but nothing to this level of skill! It's so hard, so much to learn but that's the fun part to me, keeps me busy. Busy is good, ;)

My great memory: I found an understanding, loving,caring, group of fine individuals here on MedHelp. Your willingness to take the time to help me & each other is very special. I've only been on one other Internet group, WetCanvas for my art.  It's great to know I will soon be counted among those of you who've successfully kicked opioids forever. Thanks again. Pamela

Awesome reminder T!!!   What do we have to be thankful for??   I'm so thankful for my health and my family. I'm thankful for wonderful friends that are trying to help me out of the woods.  I'm thankful that we can worship God here and not get persecuted for it.  We have so much to be thankful for.  I need to focus more on these things than on the current situation and anxiety it brings at hand.  Thanks T

Great post!  I was thinking we need to share would good things are happening in our lives now that we are clean.
Here's a few of mine:
Hiking and horseback riding with my daughter and boyfriend, taking a family walk (dog included).  
My daugher sang a hysterical version  of "Suit and Tie" by Justin Timberlake and I was laughing so hard (just being able to laugh again is awesome), enjoying a night watching movies instead of nodding out during them, having the energy to cook a meal.

I fell and broke my leg! Oh, wait, you said good memories, right? It's a bit hard to think of anything specific right now, but I would say that the lack of stress over anything I do. I don't worry about counting pills, making sure I have plenty to just go to a movie, or go anywhere. Waking up every morning, and starting my day with a good cup of coffee, not a good cup of coffee and 3 pills. Not having to think of yet another lame excuse for getting my prescription filled early again. Not withdrawing every month. These, are just a few of my good memories.
