Wow- 35 days today!!! Go me!!

[Bad_Obsession]

Hello my MH friends!!!  I just wanted to drop in and say hello.  I have been sooo busy lately that I haven't had much time to log on and check in.  I am still doing really well.  I guess today is 35 days for me!!!  Awesomeness!!!  (For those of you that don't know....I was doing between 15-25  10mg pills per day...)
This breaks a new record for me....previous record was 32 days.  I am still going strong and have no intention of relapse!  It's strange....this time around feels so different!  The thought of taking another pill literally makes me sick.  Back when I quit, I did all of the stuff that you're supposed to do....start going to meeting, deleted contacts and all that stuff, and SOMEHOW one of my dealers got my new number!!!  I have no idea!  But anyways, the called me about a week ago and asked if I needed anything.  Without hesitation and without thinking, I told him "I don't do that stuff anymore!  It's trash!!" and hung up!!  haha!  I was sooo proud of myself!  It was instinct and I didn't even consider getting anything.  He hasn't called since and I deleted his number before my sick mind could think of memorizing it or calling him back or something.
I did, however, stop going to my NA meetings.  I was going every day for a while.  I don't really know why....I guess it just started to not feel "right".  A bunch of new people started going to my class, and they are court ordered to be there (so they really aren't taking it seriously) and it seems like the meetings just started getting really negative.  Everyone is cursing and swearing, and not taking it seriously.....so it just didn't feel right.  So...I stopped going.  But...I am, however, in the process of finding another class.  I enjoy going too much to call it quits on classes.  I really do love going.  And it's strange, but I dont love going so much for me, I like going so I can help others, if that makes since.  
Anyways...I gotta get back to work. I'm gonna try to get on a little later and answer some posts and help some of you new folks out.  Thank you MH and thank you MH friends for making this totally possible.  Without all of you guys there to back me up and keep me motivated, I'm not sure I would have been able to quit.  Anyways....I will talk to you good folks later.  Love and peace, guys!  Take care everyone!

Congrats on Your accomplishment 35 days!!!  That is fantastic.  Great Job!  Find a new meeting and go, with all that positive energy we need you at the meetings, I can really say that.  Good luck and guard your sobriety.  Life is GOOD

I haven't been taking anything for energy.  I've just been eating right and drinking lots of water.  And I exercise when I can, even if it's taking the stairs instead of the elevator.  For me...the energy came back gradually.  I suppose now I am about 95% or so.  I still have some  kinda rough days where I get tired before I'm ready for bed, but it's nothing like it was in the beginning.  I think exercise helps alot.  You  may not want to do it, but i think it speeds up the healing process that much faster.

AWESOME!! CONGRATS TO YOU!!!  i am so happy for you!! i can feel the positive vibes through your writing! so cool!!

[Bubulous]

CONGRATS!!!!

I am glad to hear the positivity and hapiness you have found.....

I do hope you go back to the meetings, however.  For substance abusers that is more like a church than a meeting.  They need people like you there.  They need positivity.  I will go ahead and admit I don't go to them but I find myself spending most of my free time on here.  This place helps me so I return the favor when I can.  LOL

Good Luck and don't let your guard down.
