Newlifeahead is FORTY Days Clean Today!!!

[Ann2497]

New Life Ahead is forty days clean today.  She has been through a lot.  She was clean for two years and then she had two miscarriages back to back.  The miscarriages were both in the second trimester which were very, very tough.  It is common for women to miscarry in the first trimester not the second.  So to miscarry in the second trimester twice was tragic and caused her to relapse but she got clean again after coming to this forum.  She has given others support including myself and I have stayed clean mostly because of her and other friends I have here like Hawke101 and Littlebit.  

Newlifeahead is an attentive wife and mother of a son soon to be one years old.  She loves to cook and clean and never sits still for long.  She really loves the Lord and if you ever are having a bad day just send her a message and she will have some uplisfting words for you.

Congrats to you!!!!!!!  Thanks for being such a good friend!!!!!!!

thanks jlannaa and liz:) liz ur story is quite awsome too i can soooo relate to the devil speaking but the great thing is thats ALL he has is power of suggestion God has THE POWER... i have never had a issue w alcohol but a drug is a drug i have LOTS of alcoholics in my family... i have always been thankful that was not a downfall for me because stopping has to be sooooo hard since it is so readily avail. pills can be hard to come by but alcohol u can just run to the store. That would be scary for me:( we can certainly send some messages back and forth i dont really use my e-mail much it is overloaded w junk e-mail but i am on here daily a couple times a day so u can just private message me i would love to talk. I have only 1 really good friend from here ann she has helped me so much and stayed the coarse w me she is the one that posted this one and i am so grateful for her:) i look forward to hearing from u and agian to everyone else that toook the sec to read this and comment THANK U it really means alot i still need the encouragment

congrats my clean date for alcohol is oct 3 it was so amazing getting that chip and getting past getting another white one i went to a usmc ball and i prayed with all of my might because it blindsided me the feeling of wanting to drink so i actually followed the rules and called she actually CAME! running at that i really didnt know the great effect i have on others too. it really makes me feel good and to hear other stories too i love comming here because i really have friends on here. i came here because i thought i was getting on a wrong track with pain mds again and because of all of yall i was able to get ahold of it early and stop associating with ppl that drank and took to many pills even though that this person was were i worked he has someone else caring for him so i can care for myself. i meditate with recovery books and i read the anchor its got daily passages the day of the ball i opened it and it  said "when the devil loses clients" im like omg i was his client and i am nomore because i was really feeling the sick part of my brain say oh just for tonight your husband will drink and he wont mind i heard that in my head if any one can relate please write me. i am so happy for you newlifeaheafd and would love to be ur friend im going to add u because we are almost neck and neck in recovery and we cant climb the steps together and i have no friends outside of here so i would love to email u txt u and share stories. my name is liz
