Hello everyone.... 23 days sober and 9 months clean!!! Fridays are my hardest day and I'm sure they will get better. Staying sober is very important to me. It's not easy but I must say I feel like a new person!! My mind is clear and I wake up feeling good! What a concept. NO hangovers! Who would of thought not drinking or druging would make me happy. I joined healtrabroadoraRAB for support and to vent to people who understand. I am going to NA and AA meetings but I feel I need as much support as I can get. I'm in a IOP group and that is intense but good at the same time. Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you all. :)
 
Congrats! Yes I feel like a new person also. I have missed ME! I go to AA and have found some wonderful peeps! Even going on road trips together for out of town meetings. I have been clean and sober for 18 months. Sobriety is truly a gift, not easy at times. But it gives back in so many ways! Take care and best wishes! What is a IOP group?
 
Hi Everyone
I remeraber that refreshing feeling of being new to Sobriety. :) I have been sober since May 14,2005.
I believe that living in Sobriety is a life long process of Recovery.
I learned in treatment that there are 2 improtant questions to ask yourself once you are ready to stay sober.
"What are you recovering from"?
"What are you recovering to"?
Congratulations to you both/ALL who read this.
It is worth the challenge.

I have to agree......I love finding ME! To answer the question...what is IOP?
Intense out patient recovery. I am going to Family Counseling Care for Recovery. I go 3 times a week from 6PM to 9PM for 8 weeks and then 8 weeks of once a week. It is voluntary and of course I had to sign a contract of rules to stay in group. It has been very enlightening and most definitely helps me in staying sober. 25 days today and I have realized that 1 day at a time does work. I have promised myself that I will not let anyone else be the blame if I slip. I cannot let other people be the excuse for me picking up again! I hope everyone has a GREAT WEEK!
