Let's take Roll Call for Feb-2016

Have not seen Roll Call being put in for a few months..SO here we go!
For anybody new, this is where we put in our clean time. Even if you just started out or just took the leap, let us know. I sure hope the older-timers come in with there clean time too!!

My name is Vickie and I have..

1,226 days clean from Street Drugs to Prescription (addicting) Meds.

4,314 days away from the Bar Stool or any kind of Booze.
Cut way, way, back on the Cigs..Still working on that one. Hugs!!!

Just take each day as they come. JUST FOR TODAY I WILL NOT USE!!!!
I do, try my best NOT to live in the past and worry about the future.
Need that Support or I would of not made it even this far! It works if you work it!!
Many Thanks to my MH Friends who have Supported me too.
Bless U ALL!!!

3 years & 1 month ago, I never imagined I'd be saying I'm clean. I also would never have been able to fathom the radical changes  I've undergone in perception, thought & approach. The work continues (always) & it's a gift -- a great gift. The uncertainty, the pain, the constant change, the challenges have born fruit in ways I never could have anticipated. For me it's been about surrendering certain things & ideas, finding out who I actually am, learning to build a healthier relationship with myself & learning to set boundaries.

Congratulations to everyone for every minute of every day. Kudos for navigating all that doubt, pain & restlessness. Life is Beautiful. Thanks Vic :)

Hi everyone - was at 19 days..now back to day 1 today. Ugh! I need to get to meetings/support. I felt better at day 18/19 than I have the last 10 days (relapsed on hydros) so hoping I can do it this time. You are all an inspiration!!

Been a long while since I last posted.  I spent a couple years trying to get off the pills when I finally started to try in early 2012.

470 days with no opiates, and there are now actually weeks that go by where I don't even think about it.  Hope all are well, hang in there.

Hey Angels! I miss you all so much.  894 days.....2 years, 5 months and few days off of opiates after a 27 year ridiculous, embarrassing addiction.  No benzos for 14 months......no alcohol for 1month; random sneaking when hub pished me off....(hangs head and kicks dirt in shame)......gonna quit cigs again (4th time since joining MH, le smokey sigh.). Seriously considering quitting weed.....seems it may be holding me back...this will be hard.

Learning a lot......omg,.,,learning so much about myself and all the "selfs" who invade my "space".  Not always pretty but definitely a higher state of consciousness that can't be expressed to the unknowing drug saturated mind.  Thankyou Cheese! Thankyou MH angel friends!  Ima try to be around more.  ((((8))))

just started here. I posted but no one answered. I am just trying to go hrs wo those vicodin -not even days. I take 3 to 4 a day but now a terrible depression is setting in. Never in my life did I think this could happen. I took them to ease night back tingling and couldn't sleep. I needed more and then this depression. I almost feel hopeless even though I have  FANTASTIC HUSBAND- He can't really help with any magic. I really wish i knew where to start. I try to get through the depression now through the day-  without taking more than 1/2- so horrid.- I never took it for a high-just relief. next week getting spine shots-ugg- praying that will be a start.

Hi everyone!  I'm Karen....421 off of opiates, 494 off of booze and 152 and 62 off of psych meds!  I include them cause even though I wasn't abusing them they were a BEAR to come off of!!  Never want to do any of that ever again!!!
The key for me has been aftercare!  It teaches me how to live right and find a purpose in life!  I NEVER would have made it this long without it!!
Congrats to everyone!  Every day is day One and everyday is a miracle!!!   ♡

BIG CONGRATS to EVERYONE!

It is NOT easy, but SO worth it in the long run. Ha! That reminds me of the Eagles song.."In the Long Run". It ended up not being worth the damge that can come along with Addiction and in MANY ways!!

I know MH has SO many more that had stayed clean or are working at it. Come on in!!!

Checking in...2 years, 1 month clean! Attend N/A mtgs regularly and i try to help others to find what i have found. There was an uneasiness that i always seemed to carry with me when not using...that is soooo much less now that to me, its not worth going back. Being able to put down that baggage if bricks was a miracle. Have learned alot about myself....and am looking forward to learning more.

I am just shy of 8 yrs clean off pills and anything else i could get my grubby little fingers on.

I am 5048 days sober from alcohol.  I was a slave to that whiskey bottle.,

I am now a functioning adult, a mom and even better grandma to 3 beautiful babies, 14,5 and 6 months.  Getting clean was the best thing i ever did.  It has been alot of work getting to know me but oh so worth it.  I work my recovery the minute my feet hit the floor.  Aftercare has been vital in my life.  As one amazing man has always told me.....Always keep your Guard Up~

almost 4 years clean and still cannot believe it!

If it was not for this forum and my doctor I would never be able to have said that.  

I have been away for awhile.  Life sorta took a busy turn.  I plan on coming back more often.  I have really missed a lot of you all.
