Week 2

[Lotlost]

Havnt posted in a while. Just got a well paying job and feel like a damn champ. Run 2 miles a day and lift 5 days a week again.  2 weeks ago I was w.drawing and felt like dieing, and today is all about living. I will say my cravings are still just as bad for just one more perk, but my will power is stronger than it has ever been. I guess I'll always be an addict, but I will never again be a user. Hah I do know that I am no where close to most of you guys who are 100 days clean and so forth, but my advise to the people starting to quit is to just do it. Just do it, like the Nike commercial, pain is temporary, victory is forever. Get on with your lifes. Also I really think prayer works, when for a long time I had forgotten that. Try it, can't hurt.

Thanks so much medhelp community, you all are my heros,

Wes

So glad to hear this and that you are doing so well.  Now the hard part begins and that is staying clean.  You will start thinking that just one won't hurt but that's when it begins all over again.  One is never enough. If you really want to stay clean you should check out some form of aftercare.  Even if it is seeing an addiction therapist or counselor.  You do need to get to the root of the problem so it won't happen again.
I'm not trying to preach to you.  I relapsed so many times and wish I had taken the advice a long time ago.  
You are doing great.
