Roll Call time!!

Sorry Giz,beating you to the punch again with it but I'm so proud of what I've been reading I wanted to hear all the success stories,even if it';s 3 days sober!!!It's day 185 for me and I feel good.It can be done and we're all here to support each other.I notice a TON of questions about how long w/d will last--generally 3-5 days depending somtimes longer from what I heard.Another word of advice...HEalTH PAGES!!!! They contain tons of useful things.So sorry guys....rambling..let's hear about clean time and how you're doing!!!~Anne

I 'm not sure what the deal is but I always seem to show up right on time for the Roll Call
....Last night at a speaker meeting I listened to a woman share who's recovery date was 1974... Wow, Her message was simple and easily understood.
Thats kinda how I roll. I've been around long enough that if it was my passion I could recite the Basic Text of NA.....It's not. Yet I love NA~~
Life on life's terms---- The world didn't stop, for me to get clean. People kept living their lives while I was begining to map out what mine was going to look like.......
....Needless to say, left to my imagination of a good life??? I sold myself short. The life that I claim today is  FAR from the shortcommings of my earlier days of dreaming.
My recovery is more like dis-covery of ones self, full of twist and turns hardships and glory from the mountaintops. I try to keep my recovery fresh~  Thats how I roll.
Congrats to all you guys living clean today~~ Keep it simple!!!!  Keep it real!!!!   Keep it fresh!!!~~~  My clean date is January 21 1985~~ I have a sponsor, I have a home group, I have a support system, and I have you guys~~~Debra W. I am a addict

Newbie here.

I have Multiple Sclerosis and have been on Norco for 7 years!  I just stopped taking it 2 days ago, so it's going to be a rough week *so far I just feel sick to my stomach and no appetite*.  

The problem is I have chronic pain due to my illness, so I need to find some kind of pain relief replacement.  

I found I was taking more Norco than prescribed, because my tolerance is so high after all those years.  I really feel like I'm stuck between a rock and hard place, but I am determined to remain off the Norco!  I have a loving family with 3 beautiful boys, and I HAVE to be there for them -- and I want it to be me they love and not some drugged-out version of me.  

You guys are all very encouraging and I have enjoyed and been inspired by your posts!!

Life goes on!
I do know in times of stress, we gotta watch our backs
I have also learned the hard way, aftercare is the key to long term sobriety for most of us who have made it several yrs...
I also have found it is best not to be so hard on ourselves!
People r not perfect, and neither are we!

Just finished 52 hours and counting off of Hydro...  It is very hard I will say.. Reading all the stories of yours inspired me to kick it..  Hope I make it as long as many of you have and forever but right now, every minute seems like eternity.  Thanks.

@ Avisg and Going to make it~~~ My story is anyone story~~ Those who came before me and and carved out some truths we need to accept about addiction, and how to get clean~~~~ And those on the path of honesty today staying clean Jest For Today~ And our future FLAME carriers that will continue to carry the message to the still suffering addict The ones clean, the ones Trying to get clean and the ones Still using and haven't found a better way
That no addict seeking recovery need ever die of this disease~~~ Much Love

never understood what there was to Celebrate about. my experience with clean time was white knuckles and cravings. Then I turned a corner by staying with it. (thanks to the peeps here) Now I am starting to feel like there is something to celebrate. I am starting to see the light. thanks for asking and keep being awesome everyone, every day.
