6 1/2 months clean and I never EVER thought I would be able to do this. I'll admit it was definitely the most difficult thing I've ever had to do in my life. This disease took away everything from me, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, I just wanted to die and there just wasn't any hope for me.

The black hole in my soul only drugs and alcohol could take away isn't there anymore. It's filled with God and love, I was never able to love myself and now that I can, I can love others as well. I go to about 2 AA/NA meetings a day and have a great network of people in recovery. I'm working the 12 steps with my sponsor so this is the time where I'm really going to get to take a look at myself and find out who I really am.

THANK YOU GOD I am no longer hooked on heroin,oxycontin,benzos,suboxone,methadone,drinking myself into blackouts and today I'm not suicidal. If it wasn't for my higher power (God) AA/NA I would either be dead or doing a life long bid in jail....

For everyone still suffering just give yourself a chance, it gets better you just need to want it bad enough, there is hope. If you don't love yourself, God does and I'm sure there are people in your lives that do including me.

I do commitments in detoxes and these past two weeks I seen people that were in detox at meetings and they would come up to me and say " hey I remeraber you from that commitment, what you said really helped me " The feeling I got from that was priceless. Most of all I do these commitments for myself but if someone gets something out of it it's wonderful.

If there's anyone struggling and would like to talk feel free to send me a PM. God bless you all!!

Yea you!!! They need to have a little smiley who gives a standing ovation so just pretend that's what this fellow is doing....:bouncing::bouncing::bouncing:
 
Congratulations! That is a huge accomplishment, keep up the good work!

My friend used to say that there was nothing better than a catching a natural nod.. Having your head hit the pillow and immediately falling asleep after a long productive day rather than a drug filled stupor. It's a good feeling my friend.
 
Congratulations!!! I am not a recovering addict, but my boyfriend is and I see how difficult it is. But, with God, anything is possible. God bless you and keep up the good work!

Hello dbrock,

Yes,recovery is priceless and even defies dictionary definition in some respects.

May you continue to stay focused and keep experiencing the positive affects of being free from the clutches of narcotics stronghold.

Respectfully Phoenix
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I pray you continue to help others!!!! I am so proud of you!
My daughter was just released from prison in October after 18 mths. She was in and out of jail for years...she did EVERY program offered and she just was not ready.

Today she is doing well. She lives with me for the time being. I have strict home rules and she knows she cannot live here and use, and she must work a program and do what she neeRAB to do to stay sober. Addiction kills someone every day. We know about the 3 choices that I speak of so often. Jail, death or recovery.
Bless you and just keep going, one day at a time.
Remeraber to not become complacent. You will always have to work AT this, but isn't it worth it. I am giving you a big cyber (((((HUG))))))
God Bless...
