stick with it

There seems to be a lot of people starting to give up their addiction the past couple days who are really struggling. To each of you, hang in there. I'm on day 8 of a 3-4 year hydro/vicodin/whatever addiction. I took up to 6 a day sometimes. I also thought that I would never feel right again. The pills were my crutch through my recent divorce, through moving out, through everything. If something went wrong; take a pill. I was spending over $200/week. My bottom was when I stole pills from my current boyfriend. That was enough. I found this site and post everday. I did not want to come back here and say well I relapsed. Getting clean is so worth it for your family, finances, and your life. Please hang in there each of you.

Just looked...guess I am close to 4 years now!  This is do-able...if you stay on track and never forget that place you do not wanna go again

Good 4 u!  I have some clean time behind me and proud of every single day of it!  I was at 100mgs a day and I do not think I would have stopped without this site.  I think that was about 3 years ago but would have to look at my ticker to be sure.  Ater time goes by, we stop counting the days and being clean is part of our life again.  Aftercare is what has gotten me through all of this time because I have had some bumpy times in my life since I quit.  Job loss, loss of someone I loved, moving to a state for work where I knew no one...stressors that I think would have caused me to use again had it not been for my meetings
good luck to you and congrats on uir clean time!
