Roll Call Time!!!!!

It's that time of the month,lol!! Roll Call time!!! For those of you that are new to the forum,I post monthly "roll calls",which is everyone's chance to brag about their clean time,no matter how long it is. So...let's hear it!! Last month set a record for responses,so let's try to break it this month!! I'd like everyone to brag,no matter if it's 1day or 1 year. Be proud!!

Also,for this month,could everyone please share what got you,or gets you through the mental aspect of getting/staying clean? With the physical symptoms of withdrawl there IS an end in sight. However with the mental aspect,that can linger and crop up on you when you least expect it. So...guard your clean time everyone. Stay strong and know that you're never alone!! I'm at day 812. For me,dealing with the mental aspect has always been a challenge.Getting on here is how I deal with cravings,etc.

Congratulations to everyone out there!! Stay strong,and post that clean time everyone!!!!! :):)

483 days...had to look but it never fails to bring a smile to my lips. :)
I restructured my life without drugs. New place to live, new friends, new influences, new attitude. Accept what I had become, what I will always be if I ever touch another opiate and finally realize how much there is to live for without being under the influence of drugs. 6 months of pretty serious introspection (there was a lot of ground to cover..lol), and *poof*...it's 483 days later. Won't use today.

89 Days...   I fight the mental part by staying optimistic in the face of adversity and staying insanely busy with work.  So far so good.  This place has and will continue to play a huge roll in my life.  You all rock!

Stay strong people.

Well 4 something in the morning here and
starting day 4. Other than sleep issues, and I am
Getting some, and tummy stuff the worst of which is
Over I'm hanging in. Achy, etc but the Thomas Recipe stuff
Plus naproxyn etc seems to help. I start my day with yard work
And I've even sunbathed a little. Figure the light would be
Good. Jumped in the river but still a little cold for me.
Last night I woke up panicy at 2ish got up and watched
"Wizard of Oz." I'm gonna make it!
