Roll Call-Congrats everyone

It seems there are a lot of relapses lately and people struggling. I hope you keep fighting and know how much better life is without drugs. It's time to brag about our clean time. I am 72 days clean from my last coke relapse and the guilt is gone:) I have learned something from each relapse and all I can do is move forward. The longer you stay down, the harder it is to get back up.  Congrats to everyone, even if your a day clean that is a start. WE CAN DO THIS, one day at a time.

P.S. What is your biggest trigger? I have a few, but I think hanging around those that use and going out to bars is one of the biggest no no's for an addict. Some people still think they are strong enough to do that and I don't get it. Keep working it everyone, we have come a long way:)

6 weeks from a rediculous 25-10's a day, quit cold turkey, my biggest trigger is boredom and my mind not wanting to do anything unless I took a pill, still trying to get through that part, I am around pills and other drugs all day, everyday, I am offered pills constantly from my co-workers, they are just messing with me but I just tell myself that they want me to fail cuz they cant "quit" like I did, I am really proud of that, great job everyone and I would also like to say that I wouldnt have been able to do it without this forum, thanks again
