Monthly Roll Call-EARLY!!!!!

Hey everyone!!!! It's (almost) that time-Roll Call!!! For the newer members,this is the chance to post your clean time,whatever it may be!! I'm posting this early,because,frankly,I need some support right now as I am struggling on my path although I have several years into it. As a good sister-friend told me,USING IS NOT AN OPTION. That being said,easier said than done sometimes!!! SO,let's hear it for all the clean time out there!! For those just starting out,take it hour by hour if you need to. Those that have relpsed or are on the edge-STAY STRONG. You CAN win this fight. We're all in this together my friends,and we need each other's support. This is a fight that cannot be won alone. And,last but not least,CONGRATS to everyone on their clean time no matter what it is!!!!! So,please...post away and let's go for a record this month!!!!! Stay strong!!!!!

So this is my first time posting anywhere. I have read posts hundreds of times, each time I would take the plunge to get clean I would go on and read, but as much as I wanted to stop I would always cave and go back. Until this time I hadn't made it more than a few days for over 2 years. Too bad it took my girlfriend leaving me, for me to realize I had a real problem. I had lost myself over the last 2 years, and I can't begin to describe how excited I am to find me again. Today is Day 13! I was an emotional mess for the first 3 days and have had rough patches each day since, but I just focus on getting through one day at a time. I just wanted to thank everyone for posting. Reading these during the rough spells, kept me sane.

672 days. I never would of made it without the support from MedHelp in those early dark, dark days and I am thankful everyday for the unbelievable help I received from you folks. Total strangers..it still boggles my mind.

For everyone out there struggling: It is a fight that can be won and you have that strength inside of you..never give up..never. Free yourself from the pills. Life awaits you. Sure, it's not all a bed of roses, but it sure is easier to handle on your own terms, sober and not counting pills...or chasing pills.

Take the plunge, get your life back. You won't be sorry. Trust me.

Just an addict, but with 672 clean days. Never thought I'd be able to say that. :)

A BIG THANKS to all of MedHelp..you folks will never know how much you impacted my life.

Ok, ok im posting now.  Wanted to get some time under my belt.  I think its been 3 weeks now.  The hardest 3 weeks of my life, I wont lie.   Being here has literally been what's kept me sane!  Thank you for all those that blazed the path before me...your stories and suggestions have made all the difference.   For those just getting started....it might not seem possible for the first 3 or 4 days, but I promise you that once you break past that point, it does get easier and time does start to go fasterl. My goodness I can't believe 3 weeks have passed already and that seemed like a lifetime from where I was at the beginning before reaching it.   Stay strong everyone.  Don't let the beast win!

7 days clean! I know I still have a long road ahead of me, but everytime I have craving or triggers....i remind myself of how bad it was before! Now I just have to figure out what AM I going to use for my chronic pain that not's addiction or an opiate!

Best Wishes To All ♥

I got 8 months and two days clean. When things or life gets hard i look at what I'm grateful for and never forget where came from.

Always remember if ur having a bad day and u want to make it worst just pick up a drug or drink. We have choices today. Today I choose sobriety.

Congrats everyone on ur clean day wether it b 1 day or 50years. All we have is today.
