Early Roll Call-Need to hear some positive:)

[gizzy32]

I am jumping the gun here with an early roll call, but want to hear some positive and success stories. I don't know if it's the holiday's and this time of year, but there seems to be so many struggling and many relapses lately. You have to believe that life gets better without drugs, for me there is no comparison, but there was a time I had no hope and couldn't even comprehend living without dope. If you relapse, the best thing you can do is get up fast and find out what caused it and learn from your mistakes. I used to relapse every single week, so there is NO judging here. Get some support and don't hide behind your addiction, that is dangerous. It takes a lot of strength and determination to fight through, but there is a prize waiting for you after:)

Brag about your clean time everyone, regardless if it's a day or a year clean. We can reach the other side and the choice is always ours. Make the right choice, you won't regret it! I am 137 days clean after my last relapse and feeling great, but will never ever let my guard down again, I am an addict for life, but a recovering addict now:) Congrats to everyone.

laurinv, newmanagement,stupid172,googzy,facefear11,These names stuck out to me because they represent the willingness to at least try this recovery thing.
I believe none of these people have more than 5 days clean.That means that in order to carry the message and share our expeience of getting and staying clean we need to reach out to them and show them How It Works.
Take the time to drop them a word of encouragement ***********Answer when they ask questions, even if the question has been asked a hundred times a hundred different ways.
These are the people that will keep our recovery fresh............The New Commer.They will remind us that it isn't getting any better out there.
Be willing to go off line in a PM and help, with the things that need to be priviate.
     What I love about this forum is the total willingness to be there for each other........Not to sugar coat things and offer support unconditionally
I'm too lazy to do this but I would encourage some one to add up all the clean time represented here and see what we have to offer collectivly...............I bet you will be surprised at the number of years represented.
Congrats. to all and Don't give up before the miracle

I'm 49 days today. Wow life is not pretty but beautiful. I keep pushing though real life and it a great feeling. The friends I have meet here are truly amazing I love you all thank you for everything you all have done!!!!!!!

[corey411]

Great job everyone. Even if you don't have a clean day yet, you are here, looking and that is farther into recovery than if you weren't thinking about it.....Hope that made sense. 108 days clean from opiates yet again. Keep it going forward and if you take a fall, get RIGHT back up and get yourself moving forward again. God bless us everyone. Take this time of year to reach deep within and find all of your goodness and strength and not to use it as an excuse to use. We can all make it through the holidays clean. Someone is always here to lean on if you need help. Post if things start to get to you.

[Holliee]

Hello all and I hope that all is doing well.
Some people like to tell me that I am not clean but I feel that I am CLEAN/ I have not done an opiate or benzo in 300 plus days. Yes I am on methadone but that is it nothing else..

[Stupid172]

I know it's been a while since some have seen me here, the reason being is I relapsed. I felt so ashamed to post. I've been silently scrolling this forum for a very long time while I used, beating myself up.

But I will say...I AM DAY 3 AND FEELING GREAT!! The secret guys a good friend of mine on here told me....L-Tyrosine, B-12 and/or B-6(I took both), multivitamin containing zinc and copper in the morning on empty stomach, then 5-HTP with meals! The last time around I did it with nothing, this time with these, I feel 100% better and I'm on DAY 3!! Although I will contribute alot of it being that I used for 3 weeks, but was on Day 5 when  I relapsed!

Congratulations to those who have overcome this demon, and to those who have relapsed like me, don't be afraid or ashamed to admit so, there are so many who will help you and continue to encourage you(thank you Bob and George).

Congrats!
Diana
