Day 8 feeling swell

Had a fun night with the boys last night. Finally got a full 7 hours of sleep, but feeling a lil sluggish and my mood is all the way up yet. I am starting to feel like I did when i had 75 days clean (thank god i only went through a couple weeks of relapse and not months) But i know i cant get to over confident and this is far from over. Im trying to stay as humble as possible and I know that recovery takes a good amount of time to heal. Im in this for life and taking it one day at a time. Well off to band practice and hit up some NA meetings lateerrrzzz. Much love

Great job Born!

Day 29 for me....I feel more or less normal now....just weird how the urges come and go? I guess if I am on the site reading, I must be having an urge! haha....

How did you feel at day 70-75? How did you trick yourself into relapse?  That might be helpful information for the rest of us....

Best
Clean

hugs right back to ya depserate and thank you! =) And to Mr. clean, you know man the reason why i relapsed is I wasnt keeping my guard up at all times. I was only going to NA once a week not workin the program just going to go and not listen, sit in the back put my hood up you know that sort of thing. NA is very important to me, its like a family i didnt know just welcomed me with open arms. Plus NA helps calm down the mental game the brain plays on ya.

Great Job Dallas - congratulations!  I have been following your progress, you are doing great.  Before you know it, you will have 30 days under your belt and will feel even better yet.  Keep moving forward.

Ran into my first test last night. I was at my girlfriends house and her mother is currently going through kimo. Both know of my addiction but last night we were watching TV and out of no where her mom comes in and ask me to open her pill bottle cause she couldnt get it open.....A whole bottle of percs...they could of been mine but i just opened them didnt look at them and just gave them back and jumped into a super hot shower and just prayed...It got me all worked up but the best thing was i didnt use nor did I take a action i would of taken when I was using. I also made sure that she knows to keep ALL of her pills in her safe so no matter what i cant get to them.

Dude, it sounds like you are really ready this time. That was a big test last night and you passed. It's not easy having drugs right in front of us, but ya did the right thing. Hope the meetings are going well and congrats on those 8 days. Keep working it:)

Thnx gizzy man and movnon, it was a tough situation plus my natural reaction as a addict i would just take off and run with those lol...kinda sad but true...But now i dont have to do that no more. The meetings are helping tremendously, way more then i thought. I love having the feeling like a have a huge family of recovery addicts helping me every step of the way.
