Early Roll Call!!!

[tomskat]

I thought I'd do an early Roll Call due to New Year's coming up. I know that's a trigger for many so I thought this might help!! For newer members I post these usually the 1st of the month for everyone to post their clean time no matter how long it may be.

Everyone here is at different stages in their journey; some just starting out and some clean for years. For those just starting please know that it is tough in the beginning but does get easier and living clean is so worth the effort!! Yes we all must make changes in our lives to do this. The important thing to remember is that it can't be done alone. This website is great for support. Aftercare is a must however, I believe, especially in the beginning.

So let's set a record for posts this time guys!! I want to hear from everyone no matter what your clean time is-hours, days whatever. I'm at 1054 days and it's been a struggle recently but I'm hangin in there!! For those with longer clean times what helps you through the beginning? Stay strong everyone and congratulations on that clean time!!!!

Congrats.... I know all about the mixing this with that trying to find something that I could control and maintain some nornalicy in my life.....I was never successful...........At some point I crssed the line into full blown addiction.... Welcome, the war is over...one day at a time you never have to use again<3

So......I am 21 days shy of 28 years. So I have 27 years,.....I use to be on here at lot in 08 and 09.....in a lot of pain. This site helped carry me through. Not only what was shared with me.....but me being able to get out of my head and help others....My clean date is Jan,21,1985. More than half my life.... and yet I know I really only have Today. And for that I am so greatful.....It all began just like you guys...one day,sometimes one hour. Hanging at meetings and with other addicts. Getting a sponsor and creating a support group of other women,... Surrendering my addiction to a higher power to work out what was best for me.... and following directions to the best of my ability... In August of 2012 I celebrated 1 year clean from cigaretts...so I am 16 months clean from smoking....Anyone no matter who you are or what your background is...can achieve and maintain abstence of all mind altering drugs......Congratulations to everyone ~~

Hi
I am 136 days off the pain meds. I have been off ambien since early September and 14 days off xanax. Thank God this site exists. I was really on a roller coaster cocktail. Not a way to live and die.
Life is good.
