Aa
I made it one more day!
Celebrating the start of day 7! If you had told me two weeks ago, I'd be seven days sober now I'd thought you were higher then me. Anyway, I'm thankful to have on more day and to have made so many new friends in these last 3 days.
To everyone struggling through the beginning of detox, keep your head up. It feels like the weight of the world is coming down on you and your scared but you will make it through. Don't give up and try to think of the suffering as a gift, one that you will carry with you to remind you of what happens if you relapse, it may even be the best gift your ever given. You read it again and again, the greatness of sober life and you can't picture that place in your mind right now but I want you to think back. Before the drugs, think about how fun life used to be. Remember not having to worry about finding drugs or having enough money to afford them. Think back before the shame and guilt. Think back to how that life was compared to now and you'll get a glimpse at what your future holds.
To those still getting high but coming here looking for inspiration to quit or even finding it by accident. I pray you find a story here that tugs at your heart and gives you the motivation to quit. If you don't find it today, come back tomorrow, and the next day. Read, ask questions, educate yourself. To me, today's addicts are a chance to see next weeks day 7. We can't decide to quit for you but we can hold your hand down the path.

Trying to figure out what to do with a sober weekend. Can't let boredom creep in because that's a HUGE trigger for me so I need to find something to keep me busy.
Trying to find the PC way to say this. Hmmmmm, I know, did anyone notice any changes in themselves after quitting? Any amped up drives?
Congrats on one week. That is awesome! You are doing great and I will see you at 30 days!!!
