Best thing I've ever done!

I don't know how many days it's been, I stopped counting. September 19th was the last day I took a pill. I don't miss them, haven't been tempted, I feel amazing and I couldn't be happier with my choice to stop taking the prescribed meds I was on. I hope everyone is well. We suffered from Hurricane Sandy, luckily for us our only issue was no power for a few days, family and friends have lost everything, I mean everything, The devastation is tremendous. So many heartbroken people, my daughter in law and son included. I feel helpless, don't know what to do to make them feel better, but I am happy to say, at least I have the motivation now to try to help. Life is so much better without medication, why I allowed it to go as far as I did I don't think I will ever understand. All the people here were supportive and wonderful and I don't know if I didn't have any of the encouragement here if I could have done it alone, so thank you all!  I don't check in as much as I was in the beginning because I am out there living life instead of sulking and dwelling on my pain and taking pills to dull all my senses all day. I am good, I am clear and I am better, thanks for the support guys,you were all wonderful!!!

These are the stories that keep me moving forward.   I'm wishing everyone on the East Coast that is suffering from the damages a quick recovery.   I cannot even imagine.  We don't get storms like that here in Oregon.

Congratulations on your time clean...I live for success stories like yours!  We all need to be reminded how much better it gets relatively quickly.  My heart has gone out to all of those suffering from Sandy.  In Texas, we experience weather tragedies often, but this thing was so massive!  My sincere hope to all affected that help will come sooner than later and your lives can resume.

Hi Dacx , Missed your posts , Glad everything is going good . The Hurricane is bad news day after day many people who need our help seem to be helpless , No real goverment support yet . Sad a country like ours that sends help to other countrys can't get it act toghther for our own people . I dislike the red cross but they seem to be the only way our people can get the needed money , needed to get the things they need today . ......... Ron
