Roll Call!!

It's Roll Call time!!! Let's hear from you all on your clean time,no matter how long it is!! Also,it seems that recently there have been a lot of people really struggling during their initial "jump" into quitting. So...what got you through the initial first week or so of quitting? I know for me it was this site. Whenever I was craving or really strugling I got on here and posted or reached out to friends. So,time to brag away!! Congrats to you all for your clean time. Stay strong!!! "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."~Emerson

This would have been something like day 420 for me but I screwed up once between Christmas and New Years last year. So, since I don't remember exactly what the date was when I relapsed for a day I'll say the clock was reset at January 1. That means this is day 94 for me.

One day at a time is crucial for me. I got up this morning and decided not to use. I'm going to bed in a bit and tomorrow I will get up and make a decision---one way or another as to what I will do tomorrow. I don't plan ahead on that front but I do pray that I don't do anything foolish and give up what I worked so hard for. The members of this community and outside groups have helped to keep me focused on this journey.

My heart and my prayers are with all who are struggling tonight.
