Its That Time! September 2015 Roll Call!!

[ActingBrandNew]

Hey everybody! Its September so its time for another roll call! Hopefully we can get more people to participate than last month. We used to have like 80+ people participate but over the months the number has gone down significantly. These roll calls are important to everyone. Whether you are clean or are just thinking about getting clean, you are welcome and encouraged to participate. This is where you introduce yourself and say how long you have been clean or if you haven't started your journey yet, you just say who you are so we know your out there. Like I said, you dont have to be clean to participate. One of the hardest things in recovery is reaching out. Take this as an opportunity to do that. So whether you have 100 years sober or your just trying to get a grasp on today, wed love to hear from you.

I'm about 5 months off hydrocodone and just ran a 5K Sunday morning! I know see the pills convinced me I was in more pain than I actually was. Yes I still have bad pain days however now I have the tools to deal with the pain rather than just mask it! Congrats to everyone on their journey!

Hi everyone. I am on day 14, 2 whole weeks!!!  I was taking 30-45 mg. of Percocet daily. I know it's a low dose but getting off is difficult no matter what the dose. My physical withdrawal was mild compared to higher dose users (according to those who responded) but the mental part is terrible!! The no energy has been the worst for me. But I love this forum, even though I'm new. I think the support and anonymity has really helped me. Thanks to all who listened and responded.  :0)

Hi all!! I'm almost at 6 1/2 years. I had a bad accident Friday, it was me versus a knife, and frozen chicken, my thumb lost that battle. It took several stitches, but no pain meds, proud of myself for that. Good luck to all of you and take care!!!
