my recovery & Im dirtbiking again!

i cant believe it but i went back to dirtbike riding yesterday! i havent rode in years! Well, ive putted around the property on the quads alot with the kids, but i havent rode fast and hard in ages. Ive been scared to ride like i used to, out of fear of hurting my back worse. But as more of me comes alive again being off the pills, i want to do more again. Ive been taking the kids for long nature walks in the woods too which is something I had cut to a minimum out of fear of my back too. No more. Im tired of robbing myself of things. It felt so good to get up on that dirtbike and kick the starter and whip around the trails! Its like i never forgot how to ride, still can work a clutch fine, still can shift, balance, corner and go fast lol.  No hill jumping for me though! thats where i draw the line =)  
btw for my friends, please PM me if you want to see new pics i took of the kids. lots of nice nature pics of them in the woods playing. Ive been busy with them alot and having fun.

Im on day 15 now and feeling so much better. the severe WD symptoms i had this time are still fresh in my mind though, and i wont ever let myself forget that either. Not ever gonna go back down that road again.
well thats my update for now. i hope everyone is doing well. xo xo xo

It is so good to hear you in such good spirits. Just keep doing what you're doing. Nobody  needs those pills. Like you said, don't ever forget what they did to you. But look at you. You've overcome all!

Way to go ! I used to race but @ nearly 51 yro I have found that my bones are like fine crystal they no longer break they shatter. LOL but I still ride only highway now.

It is good to start showing interest in things again.
Good luck and God bless

I can relate to what your saying about not forgetting what we have been thru with withdrawals, as I will never forget my detox off methadone but I always keep in mind its in the past, I only have today, & Im gonna make the best out of every new day!  Congrats, Penelope
