:wave:Derick-Alcoholic-Addict...I'm now in a halfway house in worcester, massachusetts..it was extremely hard getting detoxed even with methadone but the hardest was the post acute withdrawl..i have this time under my belt and i'm still dealing with the depression and anxiety and especially my old behaviors that i am working on now...i don't have a sponsor yet but is required with this program i'm in, i'm also working on creating a network with people in recovery..i hit about 2-3 meetings "AA and NA" a day and get something out of them most of the time i also do comittments and try to deliver some experience strength and hope.. i'm starting to get some hope back, i was very hopeless and also my dignity-self worth...to all the addicts and alcoholics still out there suffering let me tell you there is hope, try to get into a detox-rehab then a half-way house and learn to live life one day at a time without drinking or drugging...i love you all and if i could do this, than you can..stay strong, you will be in my prayers...thanks everyone
 
Hello Derick,

Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself. Keep your head up - you've beat this thing and you now know how good life is "on the other side."

With admiration,

Thank you much, life is definitely better on the other side but I'm still dealing with all the emotions that have been stuffed down for years, some days are tougher than others but I'm sticking and staying..

dbrock;

Congrats! I am proud of you! I am a 33yr old female from chicago, illinois. I have been clean from methadone for 43 days. I was addicted to xanax also and detoxed from all of that also. I did it at home. I locked myself in a room for 3 wks and was determined to get through it and i did. I wanted to do it w/out taking anything else. The best feeling is to wake up clean and sober everyday and i know that you are feeling that too. You are so positive in your story and i know that you will have a great sober future. Take care and god bless you.....jenn1977
 
Thanks, you all as well..I'll be checking in here from time to time, I've been very busy and some days this depression is horrible but it passes and I need to just need to just keep telling myself that.

Congrats to you as well, it definitely isn't easy. One of the hardest things in my life without a doubt but 100% worth it. I wouldn't change my past if I could. Now the main thing we need to do is not forget where we came from, what it felt like and keep it upfront before anything else because if we don't we won't have anything else, well " I " won't anyways..Also whats helping me to stay sober are meetings because I've tried using my own will and it doesn't work, I've turned my life over to the care of God and go to meetings to keep my disease as fresh as possible so I don't forget. God Bless
