A Holiday Roll call anyone???

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I was sitting here in my hotel room away from my family while Im here in Europe, and thinking about how in the past this would have been a huge trigger for me.  Started thinking about all the things that I am thankful for....  Its always great to have a "Me" moment with some bragging rights, so lets do a roll call today for all the clean time that we are thankful for!

Today, Im 191 Days clean from Suboxone, and 4 years from other opiates!

Henry

Hey Bro, you said your a church musician? Dude you are in a great place for others to help you. Can you talk to the pastor or someone in the church to help you along?
Without JESUS and people close to me it would have been really much harder.
You maybe surprised the people you find that will really relate to you.
If you need anything look me up.        Brrrrad.

As many know - the day after tomorrow will be 7 days into my taper program to put down the tramadol for good. So far, so good. Plenty of mild to moderate RLS and some trouble sleeping, but I am doing okay. I really wish I could just quit and deal with it, but I have to remain functional. Started NA. Haven't been to a meeting since Wednesday when all the Thanksgiving hoopla began, but will return to them on Monday. I cut 1/3 of my intake from the start. I'm thinking of trying to trim my intake further by reduction of 1 pill per day for  all of next week, and then we will see. I'm a church musician so I may have to enter a holding pattern until after Christmas, but we will see. Definitely not going to increase my intake at all!

I have a few hours without my ugly little secret.  I have none left and finally told my better half the truth.

I am thankful I tripped over this site today and the desire to stop the garbage and start my life again.

Onethefence~    Wow!!    I am SO happy for you two!!  This is huge!    If you need anything, just ask.  Keep posting as to how you're doing.  I know you know the drill but I have to say this:  

Keep drinking!  Juice,gatorade,tonic water...it really helps the RLS.  Start taking some vitamins and minerals. I promise you it helps.  HOT BATHS (together will save water ; )

I'm so proud of you. I mean it. I know this is a very big deal for both of you!!

3 years 2 months free from all mind and mood altering substances. Thanks to an obstinant refusal to be beaten by a life sapping drug addiction and with the determination borne from experience and knowledge of where it may lead, i am clean today.

Thanks to God, AA, and my family and friends, I have 570 days clean from all mind altering substances. So much to be thankful for; if they told me it would get this good, I would never have believed them. It works if you work it!
