5 months clean from coke

5 months ago i hated my family, i hated myself, i hated my life and it was torture waking up in the morning. i was a functioning cokehead that worked, but i hid a terrible secret, well at least i thought i did cause deep down i knew everyone knew i was using a lot. 30-40 lines a day is not healthy and it took it's toll.

today i am 5 months clean and i love my family, i love myself and i love my life again. im about to start back to work fulltime monday and am lucky cause we have a family business and i love my job. im about to start playing golf again, my passion, it was my life for a while as i attended college and was gonna turn pro, but i have no regrets about that aspect now, i love my job. i have met an amazing women and this is the only time in my life i know she is the one :). i feel like a COMPLETELY different man and i want to let anyone out there know that recovery is possible. i truly believed it was impossible to get clean and be happy, but man, i feel ******* good. life without drugs is a life.
ty to all my friends here for their support, you are amazing and i couldn't have done this without you. this forum has kept me clean.

(((((((((((((Lil Brother))))))))  Congrats on 5 months I'm very proud of you.  You are one of my original angels here and I miss ya!  I know I havent been around much, I am back home for a bit for probation.  I am doing the classes, but still clean and sober 2 and a half months.  It's tough being away from my guy, but I have to do this so I can relocate (crossing fingers,toes,eyes anything else that will cross)  Boy it's tough to be here and stay clean but I'm doing it!  I think of all of you daily and keep you in my prayers!  I can't be on everyday, I am at my sister's now.

Congratulations first of all - I too fought the coke monster and even if it isnt physically addicting it is one hell of a challenge - it takes a special person to make it through that demon .... and its great that you found the human race again!! This time watch out for speeding tickets.....have always enjoyed your humor and posts - thanks
