Its That Time! July 2014 Roll Call!!

[ActingBrandNew]

Well, for those that are new...this is a monthly thread where you either post how long you've been clean or if your not clean yet but are thinking about it....this is the place to introduce yourself. So all are welcome and encouraged to post. People can draw hope from those who have walked the path ahead of them...so please share.

Also, I want to wish everybody a happy and safe fourth of July. Celebrate it with clean friends and keep your sobriety close. If your having a problem and feeling like using...utilize your aftercare plan. Use your "Who wants to be a millionaire" lifeline and phone a friend.

Everybody...stay safe.

Hi I'm no longer sleeplessinca. Sleeping just fine now thank god. Look back at all my old posts gives me strength to continue. 127 days off perks!!!!  I found this website at 4am on day 2 and don't know how I did but mh really helped me. Just knowing you all were out there somewhere rooting for me gave me strength. Love you all.  Prayers to all who need it.

Hi all. Im oncebeautiful. I have been off methadone for forty some days. I still feel like cat crap cooking on a hot summer sidewalk!  Of course the worst is over. I jumped off at 35mg but planned ahead and got the necessary meds for withdrawal which did help,but there was still Hell to pay! I tried n/a meetings but i don't live in too nice an area and it seemed like i was a piece of meet in a lions den! Old gross men hitting on me from minute one and bitchy women scowling at me for it! Thats why im glad i found this site. Until i get a car and can leave this area for meetings this is all i got. Do you know my clinic keeps calling me to see if I'm serious! ? Worst then dealers!!! I gained sobriety but lost my looks on this stuff (weight gain) tho the dirty old men at the local n/a didn't seem to care. I probably didn't even need to have a head! Sorry this is rambling. Im still withdrawing.

I have been off Oxycontin for 26 days, after 7 years of a steady progression of pain pills. Im getting better, but I am fighting axniety and depression. That has been worse than I expected. I am going to a therapist and I am working on techniques to relax. Staying active outdoors and music seem to help.IT'S HARD,BUT IT'S POSSIBLE, IM NOT GOING BACK!!
