Free @ 30

30 days ..time flies  geez...

With the help of total strangers I got clean on this site....(not strangers anymore I'll add)

What it's like now.....hmmm   I'll say

I don't miss chasing a feeling
I don't miss counting pills
I don't miss countdown till script refill
I don't miss anxiety about running low or out
I don't miss shady dealer and bad neighborhood.
I don't miss hating my face in the mirror..

and I really don't miss  watching my life go to shi_

I keep things going with aftercare. I just don't want to risk it. Maybe down the line I may be able to give back.

If you're new,  lurking,,,or relapsing don't sweat it....
We're not here because we just love to chat with addicts,,,,,,  ;-)
Pain brought us all here.....

Don't leave before the miracle happens....

Free~



Special thanks to Self , Pat and sonn....and everyone here,,,,

Love your post, Free!! I'm at 38 days and agree with everything you have said! As active addicts, we were SLAVES to the pills, as recovering addicts we have FREEDOM!! No more having to take a few in the morning 5 minutes after waking up to NOT be SICK! No more counting the pills and trying to figure out where the money is coming from to get more pills once we ran out. I remember counting 10 days into the future. I'd get my 150 Percocets filled, and thought to myself "well, that will last 9-10 days, then I have to scrounge to get through the other 2 1/2 weeks!!! What MISERY my life had become!! However, once I knew it was my time to quit, this site and all the people here was such a help I can't put it into words. I gleaned so much knowledge and inspiration here which gave me so much help in my recovery it's amazing! To all those here that are lurking and in despair, once YOU are ready, you CAN make it through the W/D's week one and make it through to the other side with the help of the people here. It's NOT easy, but easier than most of us here thought it would be.
I wonder, how is "The Waz" doing?

The face in the mirror line brought me to tears. You have to stop writing that stuff. I had to explain to my wife why I was sobbing like a baby.
Many congrats. Remember that list.
