May Roll Call Time!!!!

[tomskat]

It's that time again everyone!! Brag time!! Welcome to all the newcomers to the forum. At the beginning of each month I post "roll calls" which are everyone's opportunity to share with everyone their clean time. It doesn't matter how long it is-1 day,month,or year. We all have to start at Day 1. For some of us we need to take it hour by hour and then work into the day to day.

Everyone's journey down this road is different. For some getting clean is the easy part;it's staying clean that's the challenge. I think we all can agree that the mental aspects of withdrawals are worse than the physical aspect. For this month as you share your clean time please also share how you battled the mental part during your initial withdrawal. For myself it was this site. Anytime I had a tough time mentally I would get on here.

I am an addict. I have 843 days clean. Thank you everyone for your support. I'm always here if anyone ever needs to talk. We're all in this fight together. Guard your clean time!! Know that this fight isn't easy-nothing worthwhile ever is. For some there will be slips along the way. Pick yourself back up and start again. Work your recovery. Sorry for the lengthy post!!! Stay strong everyone!!!!

My last hydro was at 5AM on Friday, November 18, 2011, and now going through a benzo taper. Although I go to NA and counseling, this forum is where my "roots" are. To everyone starting out, hang in there, it does get better. If you're a chronic pain patient, have alternate ways to cope with your pain. Laugh and laugh often; humor has gotten me through many a rough day. Also be diligent because temptation can strike when we least expect it.

Hugs, peace, prayers, and most of all, thank you,

I had to take off my socks for this one. I am 23 years, 8 months, 24 days and 14-1/2 hours abstinent from my DOC-Heroin. I am 17 years, 6 months and 2-1/2 days abstinent from my second DOC of choice-Marriage. And I am 4 years, 8 months, 24 days and 14-1/2 hours abstinent from all mind or mood altering substances. But the first person in the group who got up this morning clean has the longest time. We all only have today.

Congratulations everyone. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

I am 38 days off the hydros.  This forum has been a great help, and I appreciate everyone on here.

You made my day~~

This is what it is all about~~

[Blackwolfsgirl]

I am 17 days clean from both my DOC Vicodin and any other mind altering substance. I have made it because of the amazing people on this forum and my ex mother in law who has 10 years clean from vivodin. I am planning on going to NA but I do not have a car right now.

I'm sure if you can get some phone numbers of ppl that go you can easily get a ride.  I always did

Tomskat, you are the best for these regular post.....242......Can't even believe it!!!!

[dominosarah]

I am 4 yrs 1 month clean~~

[vicki595]

IBK  is funny...

[littlebit667]

119 days clean from DOC-hydrocodone  anywhere from 8-12 a day of 10/325!
It took me several times to get it right.  The last time seems to have stuck..at least for today! :)  I came here in Sept, 2011..cleaned up and relapsed....hid in shame for a bit..decided to put my big girl panties on and came back in March!  

This time I told EVERYONE that mattered.  I had already told my Hubby and daughter in Sept.  In March, I pulled those panties higher and told my Son and Doctor!  Whew, big step.  Made ALL the difference.  

Each day is much better...I am marveling at how alive I feel.  Coming here and meeting this group was meant to be for me and I will be FOREVER grateful!!!

Supposing you have tried and failed again and again. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose; this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. ~Mary Pickford

To all of you that have been clean for so long could you share your secrets of how you stayed clean, and the support you use other than this awesome site. Congrats to all of you!!!! Still taking this day by day but I'm not looking back!!!!
