3 years free :)

Hello everyone.   Just wanted to brag that I am 3 years free today July 5, 2011.  Thank you so much to those that helped me through this horrible chapter of my life.   I don t know where I would be if I had not found med help back in 2008.  The support I received was outstanding.  
I m still seeing the drug deals all around me....my former dealer asked me if I would sell his pills and for every 20 I sold I could keep 2....WTH.  I told him NO way.  It made me sick to think he could even ask such a thing to a recovering addict.   It s all about the high dollars these dealers make...ha  
I guess Im one of the lucky ones who never feels the desire to go back.  I hated my life so much (being an addict) that I never want to go there again.  I m not going to let stupid pills control my life...ever.
To those just starting out...hang in there tight.  I know you feel like dirt physically and mentally but I promise it gets so much better.   Withdrawing from these demons was one of the worst things I ve ever experienced but so worth the pain and awful mental depression.  It gets better...honest...it just takes time.  Look up to your higher power and I promise you will make it...Don t look back ever.  
Good luck everyone...May our God continue to bless us and keep us strong and bonded.  Love to all... thank you for  
helping me make it....Maria

Your post brought me to tears (ok maybe I'm emotional anyway - I'm on my 2nd day).  Good for you that's really wonderful!  I hope I can say the same thing on July 4th, 2014.  =)
