Yataze! I did it!

It has been a week I did not touch or go near Heroin....I'd never thought this would happen but my w/d are almost completely gone despite last night's event of fever and struggling to sleep...All I have now is a cold that's tolerable and I hope tonight I can sleep for once...During the evening I had a chance to go and get it but I didn't...and I feel so proud of myself...For once I could say 'No'...However, I know there would be more battles ahead of me..But if i can keep at it I know one-day I could help others with their addictions from my experiences...

I also did a drug test today for my father...When i got to the doctors the medical staff gave me a container and told me to go and do it without any witness...I, myself, requested it to be witnessed and did my part..It was for my father but also for ME too...and of course after the test I had a great urge to do it but after this week's agony and pain I've decided life has so much to offer...I can see the light now and how beautiful life is becoming to be :)

Congratulations!!!!!!  You are right, there will be many tough roads ahead like that, but you are on the right path!  I am so proud of you!  And that great feeling you have, remember it, for if you are in a situation to say yes, you will remember how much better it feels to say NO!!!

Great Job!!!

Tho i also found I had the attention span of a goldfish in early recovery ha ha!!! Howeva b4 u know it u will be sleepin a few hrs every nite, then a few more and suddenly 7-8hrs in a row!!
