Gnarly_1 is 1 year clean today!!!! GO MARK!!!

gnarly is 1 year clean today... i could not wait to post this for u Mark. Seriously, ive been counting the days down!! lol ..u made it to ur first year clean from methadone. im so proud of u. u have no idea...

when i first got here, u were the first person that messaged me and after talking to ya i finallly didnt feel so alone anymore. u made me feel like i could actually get my life back and live clean and free from all drugs. it was the first time in my life that i actually found confidence n kicking my habit. u  helped me to see that there is life after drugs. u also taught me to have faith and for that alone im so grateflul for ya.

u have become such a true freind of mine and have always been there for me when i felt like i was at my weakest. u helped me out of my relapse by sharing ur stories to me. u always helped me 2 see what i couldnt see. god put u n my life for a reason and i count my blessings everyday for u. thank u for all ur wisdom and always bn there for me, i owe ya big time and dont know how i could ever repay ya.

u have helped me out more then i think u will ever know. i really appreciate u and im sure theres alot more people who appreciate everything u do for them.

CONGRATS TO UR 1 YEAR CLEAN...i cant say it enough..im so proud of ya.

Congrats Gnarly on that year clean. Methadone is one of the worst drugs to come off of, but you have done it and continue to help others. I love reading the success stories. Well done and keep working it.

Congrats!!!!!  I just wanted to take a quick second to thank you for all of your posts, support, and advice.  I could not of gotten off methadone without your guidance and just wanted to say thanks!  You were one of the only ones that had any experience with methadone withdrawal and I always looked forward to your posts.  Do you feel a lot better?  Do you still have to fight it every day?  I know you have a lot of posts to go through here but if you get a chance drop me a line.....Congradulations again!
