Been awhile thought I'd say hi... Clean and sober..

[Goodpersoninside]

Hello Everyone, just wanted to say hi to all my friends. I hope everyone is doing well and all new combers are staying strong. Today is my 38th day clean and sober from  Oxi and I am doing extremely well. Haven't looked back for a minute. Life is wonderful without the daemon. Never thought I could survive after 13 years of addiction but I am and loving it. Sleeping 5-6 hrs a night and my appetite it crazy. Have gained 8 lbs. but really don't care. To all just starting the journey stay strong and positive. If I can do this anyone can, I was averaging 200-300mgs a day. I finally said I just can't do this anymore and said enough is enough. The day before I took my last dose I found this god sent forum and the support I had from all these people and friends pushed me through. I was here 24/7 for the first 15 days and cannot say how much I appreciate and owe to this place and my fellow addicts and friends. Those who know me know who you are and I will always be grateful and will always consider you my friends. My kids are front and center again, not chasing my next pill is such a huge load off and my bank account is going back up. Not giving it to pain management or the pharmacist. Working steady and hard and am looking forward to my next project a $200,000,000.00 Asian resort on the strip. Keep watching the news it should be breaking ground soon and guarantee to be all over the news. I love you all that supported me and will continue to come back and give support to others.. Just remember the body and mind the the good loath has given us is stronger than any drug man has created, if your truly ready to stop the insanity reach out to god and he will help you. This forum I believe was sent to me from god, he does work in mysterious ways.  God bless and I love you all....

Awe shucks.  I love you too, man.  Even though our families would never even begin to comprehend what we are going through, the feelings of aloneness are diminished when we find others who know exactly how hard this mountain is to climb.  I'm real proud of you.  I am on day 56 and believe it or not you contributed to my success as well.  Everybody on this forum is lifting each other up out of the dark hole we've been merely existing in.  I agree with you 100%...we were divinely led to this forum.  I know I personally could not have made it this far without it.  There is something about the whole WD process that makes one look inward at their spiritual side.  And that's certainly not a bad thing.   :)  Again, Great job on 38 days!

Thanks so much chasing, haven't felt this positive in 13 years. Life is again mine knowing I will always struggle but for now the pain is over. It's truly a great feeling. Thanks so much for the support. I had to actually look at a calendar and count back the days. Never thought I'd stop counting when it was day 1-15..  Don't want to embellish and say it is easy, after all I have WD many many times but never made it this far..  To all fighting the battle the feeling of freedom is like no other, maybe better than sex... Hard to say that because that also comes back with a vengeance, along with so many other feelings...  Prayers and positive thoughts for all here...  God bless. Love You ChasingFreedom!!

Man, I was so happy to log on and read your wonderful positive update.  Been wondering how you've been hanging in there.  So happy that you made it through the horrible acute phase of WD.  It sure feels good to be able to use your experience to help others where you have been, doesn't it.  God works in very mysterious ways.  Great job on 38 days, friend.
