Two years clean today Thank you Lord

[quitinoxys]

Today I am 2 years clean off oxys, I would like to thank all that helped me get to this place. I want to thank my beautiful soulmate, all the great people on this forum and My Lord for giving me the strenght and knowledge to get to this point in my sobriety.

I want to say to all of you that are just starting out on their journey down the road to sobriety hang in there. At times it can be a struggle and a very bumpy road filled with pot holes. But with perseverance and aftercare you can make down that road.  Aftercar will help you avoid or at least navigate the bumps and potholes thats why it is so key in staying sober. So to all you can make it and Keep on Keepin on. God Bless you all---Rick

"Potholes" - that's an excellent way of describing the hazards we face.
Wonderful job; this has been said many times, but you are an inspiration. When we decide to detox, 2 hours sometimes seems like an eternity, let alone 2 years! Thanks for being here.

I have been taken Oxys for about 3 years now. I felt like I could never have the strength to do this. But I have had a wonderful girlfriend for about a year now and she finally caught on to my drug problem. She don't touch drugs so it's kind of hard for her to understand what a terrible demon oxy is. But she is here for me and she sent me a link to this web site about a week ago. I came across your thread and I read it from beginning to end and was amazed by your attitude and strength and the help of complete strangers that was there for you. To make a long story short your battle inspired me that it can and will be done. With the support of my girlfriend,and knowing someone that's in my shoes has that kind of strength to overcome this gave me what I needed. I just want to thank you for the inspiration.I got wed-sun off from work so wed the fight begins. I hope to have the same strength u did. Thanks again and glad to see you are still truckin

Shoot.. I didn't make it to clear. I was talking about your thread when you started at day 1. I wanted to show my girlfriend your amazing story and the amazing support from the people. And I couldn't find it again. So today I made my own profile n the 1st thing I see is you got 2 years clean. I feel your story was meant to help me

[quitinoxys]

I am glad to have inspired you into getting your life back from the evil oxys. You sound like you have a plan and a wonderful woman to support you through it. I know you will make it as you remind me of myself when I first started on my journey down the road to sobriety. Remember keep your eye on the prize and forge ahead. Keep up he great attitude it will take you far. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. As far as my original post you can find it by clicking on the link below:

I remember being drawn to you when you mentioned being a firefighter.  I have a soft spot for them~~sara

[quitinoxys]

Sara--Yes indeed to quote one of my favorite musicians  "what a long strange trip it's been" I am the one who is bless to have friends such as you and everyone else on this forum who stuck by me through all the rough patches (and you all know who you are IBKleen, Gnarly, Lesa, Vicki, Brian, atthebeach) I would keep going with names but I don't have a week to do it LOL. I am proud to say you are all my friends. Love and God Bless---Rick.
