Its That Time! June 2014 Roll Call!!

[ActingBrandNew]

This year is sure flying by. Its already June! So anyways...here we are. This thread is a place where you can post your clean time or just introduce yourself. You do not have to be clean to post here. If your "lurking" take this as an opportunity to introduce yourself. If you have some clean time, post it so it can encourage and inspire others by showing them it can be done.

This forum is a great place. Old and new members alike contribute everyday and share whats worked for them in recovery. I like to encourage that because there are so many different recovery options out there. You just have to find what works for you. So maybe this roll call could be a little different this time and not only can people share there clean time but also what program they use to stay clean. Just a thought anyways.

Hello, how many people do you know ignore a miracle? I had legitimate back pain when I saw a neurologist for the first time. Many years later, I almost had surgery on my back, but decided to try to get in better shape to help it out. It worked, and I can honestly say that I am almost pain-free. I've been lying to my neurologist for over five years now to get pain pills because I'm addicted to them, but I don't need them. I've been lying to my wife and my kids so I could back up the lie. I've tried to quit on many occasions, and at one point I was able to stay off them for three months. I can honestly say I am one of the most blessed husbands, father, and people I know..... And this has to stop. I've never told anyone about my addiction. But that is about to change. I am going all in God. I always thought if I prayed enough, that Jesus would help me and I wouldn't need them anymore. I'm wrong. And ashamed, that I've never been able to ask for help. I have the most understanding wife ever and I'm going to tell her tonight. I'm a good Christian man and how could I let this happen to myself? I don't want my wife to look at me any different than she ever has. That's just my pride talking. I have read so many posts thanking God for helping them overcome their addictions. God put amazing people in my life to help me through troubled times. This isn't going to be easy, please pray for me

686 days off of all mind altering substances. I stay busy and don't associate with people who are using or drinking unless life deems it absolutely necessary. I run a lot and work out. I also attempt to not lie and I hit the occasional meeting at a treatment center. I try to make sure not to get too obsessed with anything and if it starts to look like trouble or if it is affecting my psyche, I generally make an adjustment.

Thank you very much Evan, for posting this again. I guess you are the new Tomskat. ;)     I do hope wherever Tomskat may be, He or She is well. ;))

Congratulations to all of you guys!  You are all great people ;)
