Just really wanted to say hi and I hope you are all doing well.
Im sorry I havent been on here for so long but ive just been trying to get on with things.
20 months clean now and still going. I still have my days where I struggle but not as many as i used to. I want to say thanks to all of you who helped me when i first came on here. I had some pretty trying times and i didnt think id make it but you all talked me through it with patience and understanding, no judgement, and it was exactly what i needed. Some times all you need is to know that your not alone, sometimes that is enough to get you by. No one likes to feel they are alone and not once did i ever feel that on here.
I feel guilty that i cant "be there" for anyone yet by reading posts and offering advice, Im sorry.
I dont want this to be a letter full of "sorrys" its more a post to say "thank you" to all the beautiful people here who didnt give up on me and kept me going with a few encouraging worRAB :)
To all the new comers, this is an awesome site to be on full of wonderful understanding people who are going through exactly the same thing as you. Dont give up on yourself because your worth fighting for - you really are, and life can be good again, it will be good again, dont give up :)
Well thats enough from me, ive raved on enough, I love you all - keep going :angel:

Believe it or not, I would wonder from time to time what happened to you. You just dropped off the board when you were having some serious personal issues and I had hoped that you didn't fall back into the trap. Glad to see you back and doing well!! You went through a lot!!
 
Hi Denon :)
Sorry for disappearing like that on everyone :) My life got super crazy for a while there!! In a way it kind of helped - I had things I had to deal with and I couldnt hide behind drugs anymore. Im so glad I did because now i know I can face hard times without them :) I still get urges to use again but have walked away from every opportunity so far. I plan on staying that way. I really dont want to disappoint and hurt my family again.
I always wondered how you are all getting on and the longer I left it the guiltier I felt - Im sorry.
So how are you?

Hi Rach

It is so good to hear such wonderful news from you.

To know that we can face hard times without falling back into pill abuse is such a sign of healing! When there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide....which is what we create in sobriety.... then we finally learn to deal with life on life's terms. And once we learn to deal with life, there is nothing that can stop us from moving forward.

I am really proud of you, I am sure your family is, and positive that you are. Keep moving forward, Rach, and keep learning. Each day is brighter and something to look forward to in sobriety.

'Atta girl!

Rach,

How awesome to log on and see you on here! Congrats to you on 20 months! That is an awesome accomplishment and it was our pleasure to be there for you when you needed us.

Keep doing what you are doing and pop in and keep us updated as well.

Me, still fighting. Injured and addicted. My worst nightmare but I am fighting for dear life to do the right things.

You take care of yourself and many blessings to you!
 
Thanks so much everyone :) Its sooo good to be back in touch with you all again, its like catching up with old frienRAB! Im doing really well with abstaining from my habit (if thats the correct term)? I stopped going to all the counselling as it was just too much too soon for me. I think it was the right decision for me. Im exercising regularly as well as taking my meRAB so my depression etc is under control. Im finally starting to get the old me back. I dont know if I'll ever be completely "me" again but Im a whole lot better than I used to be! :)
I honestly dont think you all know how much you helped me, a thousand thank you's will never be enough. I couldnt have done it alone, im so grateful fate or whatever it was directed me to this site!! I am proud of myself for staying clean and so much more happier.
Im sorry to hear youre still in pain secrets, I will say a prayer for you tonight. :)
Im so happy to hear from you reachout, denon and secrets youve really made my day.
I hope you all have a wonderful day/night
big hugs
Rach xox
