August Roll Call

It's that time of month to brag about your clean time regardless if it's a day or a year. Quite a few people have relapsed here lately and I hope ya'll are doing better and making changes to STAY clean this. I am just over 9 months clean from cocaine, and 23 days sober from that 2 week booze binge i had. I am going to meetings (not NA) once a week, which does help and trying to get on medhelp as much as I can for support also. Keep fighting everyone, it's so easy to fall back into old patterns so keep your guard up. BRAG AWAY:)

thank you sara we can all happy dance now 2months 7 days we could not have done it with out all your help and we prefer you sara sophie and letakos  to call me and kim by our first names if we did not we would not have told any one our first names and i think getting clean and staying clean is more important than calling someone by there first names its
a great feeling when people pick you up when you are feeling downre  as i said thank you sara sophie and letakos for without your help i would most probibly be dead now so lets just happy dance a think we all deserve that also thank you mh

CONGRATS to both on freeing urself of  a 13 yr ball and chain sentence from heroin. What a feat!!!! I am proud of myself and both of you!! Never ever in a million yrs did I think I could do this. Did you both??? This August has been the best of my entire life!!! Been to the beach.. living life..going to meetings and not giving a darn who the heck cares!!! I am FREE!!!!!  FREE!!!!!! NRG is returning.. feelings.. life... all the good stuff!! Aftercare like everyone says; is soooo very important. Without this I would have failed. "T" has gotten me here and I have 2! I needed a sponsor to get through the fires of he77.

I hold no guilt for past transgressions from being high and drunk. I will make amends when the 9th step comes. For now.,.. each day at a time!  Life is good!!  

Sunsets on the beach...   catching up with old friends,  smiles from my nieces and thankful I did not die from this b/c I was heading there quickly make me happy. I don't isolate anymore. What an isolating disease. It is an isolating, selfserving disease. Goodbye Oxys... You are DEAD 2 ME!!!!!!

Sitting on 4 days clean - just spent 3 hours in an 'Expecting Parents' class, plus 45 minutes on my feet touring the hospital. It was pretty tough, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Glad to be clean again and taking part in life.

In 1984 I walked into the county detox broken bruised and dying one day at a time.I believed the recovery thing would work but I was different I was Bad and didn't deserve to be clean.
I'm glad that others were patient with me and loved me back to health
I believed in what they believed until I could believe it for myself.
I have wanted to Use since Jan.21 1985 but by the grace of God and other recovering addicts I haven't found it necessary
Hope Without Dope....Greatful for every day clean..By the way!!!! If you got up this morning b4 9:00 you have been clean longer than me Today
