just an update 2marro makes day 60
just as sure as the sun rises 2marro makes day sixty for me, its been a journey and a battle I have had some things thrown in my path to sobriety but I have hurdled the hurdles and overcame them. I diddnt fall I diddnt give in I kept strong I have had them shoved in my hand I have even seen family take them in front on me but I have keept the path and stayed away from them. I sleep at night even if my legs hurt I can sleep some nights may be a lil restless but I still get my zzzz's I have energy to do my laundry take a shower do dishes and do the things we must do on a daily basis I even have the energy to enjoy the simple things in life watching the races my kids laugh and I can laugh with them I get up in the morning get my coffee and dont take a pill go about my day and dont take any pills, such a diffrence now then a mere three months ago when I was using my routine was get up make coffee take a pill go through my day pills pills pills now its just my day no pills. Just the other day I walked five miles felt great and I thought as a rounded my driveway I could not help but smile and think I remember when I couldnt even make it to the mail box and back without thinking I'm gonna die. my legs were somewhere behind me so heavy or my first weekend at the races where i was so sick or my second time where I made it but it was so hard i went over the weekend and it was just normal i walked and talked and laughed and had no problems other than my back hurting but thats just my nagging back. took a couple over the counter tylenol and went on. so as 2marro approaches I'm sixty days clean I do not worry about being chained to the bottle anymore and to be honest the voice still talks to me as I know it always will but I know that I can overcome the voice in my own head cause it is acutually my own voice and I have the power to tell it to sut up and go on. addiction is hard we can beat it so many have and so many will but it is our choice to not use and I have choose over and over not to do it. cause I'm free and like being that way no my life is not perfect but its not chained either so heres looking at another sixty days and another hang in there it gets so much better its a hill to climb but it can be done.
I agree post like this give me hope. I was feeling at my breaking point on day 2 not just 15 min ago. Until I read these.
Many, Many congrats to you! You worked hard and now have the gift of your beautiful life! Sooo proud!
Now I can say congratulations. I wanted to wait until the day was actually here and not jinx you. So a big 'ol CONGRATULATIONS lady. I am proud of how far you have come. Keep up the good work and stick around. You are so good with the members here and they need you. I need you. You need to be here!!
I am so Proud of you! Congrats on day 60! keep on moving forward! Stay positive you are doing great!
no I must say thank you all of you for giving me praise and words of encouragement when I needed it and calming my fears or just listening to me vent about how hard it was having you all there to talk to about what my body was going through and my mind was priceless and so crucial to my recovery days I lay on the bed and think I cant do this its so hard and I read your post and draw the strength and courage to get up off my whinny but and put my shoulder to the grind stone and break the chain, so to each one of you kyle sara Imdonenomore IBK Waterlilly Nighthawk Ben727 with only fifteen days behind me my bother in arms and to the new names who have jumped in to help god bless you it is an amazing thing when we addicts stick 2 gether and care and look out for each other its a beautiful thing. this is my online family you have had faith in me never judged me listened and comforted me and cared enough to call me out when It was ******** gotta love family shoot it straight and somedays I needed the kick in the pants to get me going. our mind is our worst enemy and only we can beat the voice its a change of life and has to be treated that way cant go back to old ways of doing things its like dumping all the building blocks in the floor and building your life over you cant build the same house its gotta be diffrent. we have to learn to do things and look at life diffrent that was hard for me but I m getten there and so will everyone our bodies are amazing creatures we can heal from some major crap that we do to ourselves but it takes time to come back to the living. so hang in there and kyle you have no idea how much those words meant you had i could do it in the begnning that made me tear up cause I sure diddnt have faith in myself at that time I do now and I must say I love each and everyone of you and thank god you give so much of yourself to save others cause you sure saved this rocker girl. and to the newbees dont give up its hard but its worth every push and pull you gotta give I love waking in the morning and not panking over a bottle of pills or wrry about withdrawals and how horrid they will be and thinking and feeling again. sometimes the feeling is overwhelming but that is the way we are made to feel and love and enjoy and laugh not to be doped up and unhappy. so as the song says my friends we are all free birds and my soul is signing and flying in the sky and its a sober high to thats the best stuff right there my brain chemicals made that high hehe gotta love it.
Not enough words. Since the very beginning I knew you had it in you. When you finally realized it too it was only a matter of time. Many, many congrats.

Congratulations! And thanks for the reminder about being chained to pills, I had somehow forgotten about that part!
