hey everyone, just checkin in to let you know that i am two months clean as of yesterday, wow cant believe it, where does time go :-), alot has been going on which is why i havent been around but i am staying strong, i have to say life without pills rocks! dont get me wrong i have days where the cravings are unbearable but it last for a few minutes and then goes away again.

i think one of the best things about being clean is seeing my hubby smilling at me, i will ask him what he is looking at, he will reply you, you just look beautiful, how sweet is that!!!!

i am so looking forward to christmas, if i could put my decorations up now i would hee hee!!!!
well i must go have to feed the dogs :-)

lots of love to everyone i will try to check in more often promise

thanks for your comments, its not been an easy ride, but it is improving slowly with time, i want a life i want to live, i want to be "normal" without pills.  i had reached rock bottom and i new i had a decision to make, a very simple one, live or die because that was the only choice i had, now it might seem like an easy question, but when your an addict well most of you know the answer to that!!

but i chose to live, with the help of my wonderful husband and the advice of alot of people on here.  to be honest there is no bigger high than that of living life, seeing my nieces squeal with excitment when i come to there house, watching a funny movie on tv, at the min going christmas shopping or thinking about putting up my tree.

for all of you out there thinking about quitting and asking your self the same question live or die? please chose live, i promise you wont regret it :-)

love mousey xxxxxxxxxx

That's encouraging.  Yes congradulations. I have since the 5th of nov without my vicodin and or oxy.
Yesterday I was having "crazy" thoughts and it occured to me that I have less than 30 days and it will get better if I don't use. I went to AA and was finally successful at not drinking. It seems insane to me that it takes us so long to admit that we were taking pills for the next buzz not for pain that was a 8, etc on a scale from 1-10 yah da yah da. I mean no disrespect to those of you who really do suffer real pain. I sure am supprised how well aleve helps my joint pain.

Yes you are sure an inspiration. I am looking forward to what it feels like to not have pills just to function. It has been so long I cant remember. My 8 year old daughter is my world and I cant wait to live to the fullest and know she can be proud of her mom for making one of the hardest decisions ever ....to quit!!!!

You sound awesome and congrats!!!!!!!
