Its That Time! November 2014 Roll Call!!

[ActingBrandNew]

Yes, its that time for our monthly roll call. Every month less and less people sign it and check in. We used to have 80+ posts and now were down to half that. It seems like there's less traffic on the site...maybe there's less people that need to get clean...less people using. If that's the case, then good.

So, post your clean time or just introduce yourself. You dont have to be clean to post on the roll call. Lurkers are encouraged and welcomed! We want to meet and hear from you. So if your thinking about getting clean or have been clean for a billion years, we'd love to hear about it. Please share! Spread the message of hope!

Oh, and by the way...its my 37th birthday!

Hi ABN,

Happened to be reading through some of the posts here and Just had to post a big "THANK YOU" for caring enough to keep us on the straight an narrow.

Ya know I am a recovering alcoholic--sober too many years to count.......but wish I had someone like you and these posters to reach out to when I was beginning my Sober Journey.

I think sometimes I got full of myself because I forget where I came from and what a minute to minute struggle Sobriety is.
The many posters here keep me humble. Each and everyone keep me  thankful.  ..... I hope they can feel the pride they should feel each day they stay sober.

Their struggles strengthen the resolve of so many, and I have nothing but admiration  for you and the rest of my journeyman. We all have to begin somewhere and that is profound indeed--just to BEGIN!

Hat's off to all and you ABN for being a leader in this journey, and caring enough to want to see them succeed.

I can only say that each and everyone that continues this journey will find amazing strength and a new knowledge of themselves. In turn they will become VERY Special beings --for themselves as well as others.

Grateful Thanks,
CML

Happy Birthday, ABN! Thank you for keeping up this monthly tradition. It is truly inspiring to read all of the success stories.

I am about 7 months clean now. Give or take a day or so.  I don't keep track of the days anymore. For me, it's always just for today.

Best wishes everyone. Never give up, and keep moving forward.

Wow this is inspiring.  Only 4 days clean but that's the longest I have been in at least 4 years.  I'm done. My life was spinning out of control and my beautiful family deserves better than an addict.

11 Days is a HUGE accomplishment!! You should be very proud of yourself! I am only 6 days from pulling myself off pain meds after a back surgery 5 months ago ( which I had a history of using a year prior to that ) and I am proud of my 6 days!!

[newbie_girl]

I am 11 days clean from Hydrocodone. I know its not a long time but it seems like an eternity to me!!!!

[dedicatedtostop]

I am coming to 6 days tommorw. I battled for about 3 years with addiction after herniating a few disc. I got clean for over a year. Relapsed then went on suboxone. I successfully got of that and it was not 2 weeks after that I blew out another disc. I ended up having surgery in July and started taking the pain pills again. Within the past month, I started to see that spin out of control so I knew since I was only 4 months in it was time to nip it in the bud. I cut off all supplies and I will be going into day 6 tommorw. I have done so much better with detox this time around. Maybe bc I have not used for a very long duration and I have also had a very positive mindset bc I know living clean was so much better! I am hopeful that each day gets a little better. I know I will get there, right now I am taking baby steps but my mind is made up! NEVER will I go down that path again! I have 2 beautiful daughters and an Amazing Husabnd that need me. I am confident that the back pain I feel now is simply rebound pain and in no time at all, the pain will lesson. Since my detox began 5 days ago, the thought of using again has neve crossed my mind! The only thing I think about pertaining to pills is that they only ruin and take life's! Never ever again will I walk the road of bondage!!

[FourJays]

705 days!

December 1st will be 2 years free from a 12+ year Tramadol addiction (in addition to off and on use of countless other opiates along the way).

If someone had told me 2 years ago today that Tramadol would be completely out of my life; that I could wake up in the morning and not even THINK about it; that I go for days and not even THINK about it, I NEVER would have believed it.  

So BELIEVE!  No matter how bad it is, it can be done :))

[glassguy]

Hi Everyone! I have to say that seeing so many clean and sober members on here is really inspirational.  I am still fighting the crummy fight and had a recent setback but I am going to grab my Pom-Poms and put my game face back on. I am just so tired of this battle.  You are all amazing!  JJ
