1 year today

Hello friends.  Just wanted to tell you all that today is 1 year since I have put a drink or a drug into my body. As you know my drug was OxyContin and it has been a heck of a year. Got those of you still suffering as I did I want you to know it does get better.  I am far from being totally ok but I can honestly say I am just as far from the daily suffering that I went through.  This site and the people who reached out to me here help me. To that I sincerely want to say THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU. Without you I might have gone insane. Anyway one day at a time thing continue to get better. God willing
All the best to you
Bob

Thank you.  Things are starting to come together.  Still have a long way to go but just wanted to let everyone know that I thought I was going to die.  I thought I would never make it but between the rooms my network and my friends here I am still alive and starting to get glimpses of actually being happy.  So anyone reading this that has doubts I just want you to know your not alone and you can do this. It's not easy but your lie is worth it.
