Early Roll Call-Need to hear some positive:)

[gizzy32]

I am jumping the gun here with an early roll call, but want to hear some positive and success stories. I don't know if it's the holiday's and this time of year, but there seems to be so many struggling and many relapses lately. You have to believe that life gets better without drugs, for me there is no comparison, but there was a time I had no hope and couldn't even comprehend living without dope. If you relapse, the best thing you can do is get up fast and find out what caused it and learn from your mistakes. I used to relapse every single week, so there is NO judging here. Get some support and don't hide behind your addiction, that is dangerous. It takes a lot of strength and determination to fight through, but there is a prize waiting for you after:)

Brag about your clean time everyone, regardless if it's a day or a year clean. We can reach the other side and the choice is always ours. Make the right choice, you won't regret it! I am 137 days clean after my last relapse and feeling great, but will never ever let my guard down again, I am an addict for life, but a recovering addict now:) Congrats to everyone.

Today is 10, I think.  Being one of the recent relapsers, I appreciate the comments Gizzy.  The hiding part hit home with me.  I agree with you, get up fast if it happens because it doesn't get any easier the longer you stay down.

Another quote perhaps???

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

I'm on Day 18 (I think).  Who woulda thought that I'd make it this far?  Certainly not me after about 6 or 7 relapses.  I told someone the other day that I broke up with my DOC.  The love affair is over.  I have gotten out of bad relationship and I'm not going back.  Vic[odin] no longer brought me pleasure or made me happy...he just made me "normal" and kept me from getting sick.  He's lying against the curb as we speak!
