This is so great, I am so glad to hear this. I'm happy to know that you want to be sober for your wedding. I have been married twice, was not sober for either one. My drug problem distroyed both my marriages, and now I am faced with raising two little angels on my own. But I know I can do it b/c of posts like yours. It's good to read things like this on your first day on going c/t. Good luck to you, I know you win this battle.

I am very glad to hear your having a good day.  I think its so important for anyone what honestly wants sustained sobriety to realize that the w/d stuff is the easy part.  Its not taking "just one" thats hard.  Life is not easy, but my worst day sober is better than my best day high.  That is a fast.

Now, a lot of people don't talk about all the side effects of long term drug use.  For my years of use (mostly oxy/morphine) my sex drive was so gone for a long time.  It was probably 5-6 months after I got clean that it started getting normal again.  Honestly, I didn't know what normal was for so long, that it might have taken me that long to figure it out!?  Anyway keep it up.

I can relate because I just got married last week.  While on our honeymoon I sat up in our suite b/c I couldn't sleep and watched my wife sleep a while. (Yea, you still have nights you can't sleep when your sober, no pills to help! lol) As I watched her I just thanked God that I didn't have to live life the way I did a year ago.  If it were not for the help of others, I would have been dead, no doubt.  

So I will pray for you and your situation.  My advice is to find a meeting and find people you can talk to as things come up.  Has your fiance ever had a drug problem?

God Bless

Thats really great! keep it up, and feel proud of yourself.

no, he is an angel. Does not really drink..never touched anything. I never really did either until this stupid pill thing. You are right though..the wd are hell but only last so many days. The struggle to stay sober lasts a lifetime!
