I have 488 days clean off oxys....Congrats to all for getting your life back. This forum and the people here are great. I owe my life to you all as if I didn't find my way here I would most likely still be using. In my times of weakness the great people here (you know who you are) helped make me realize that staying sober is a lifetime commitment and you have to really work it. So to all you new guys out there  keep going as you will reap many rewards. God Bless you all.

Peace & Love---Rick

3 weeks tomorrow. Getting mentally ramped up to quit cigs next and then I will be totally free of everything. To be honest I think the cigs WD will be harder for me than the hydro pills, but I am going to do it!

After 3285 days of addiction I'm now at 350 days clean.

I have done more living and enjoying the world around me these past 350 days than I ever did in the previous 3285 days. Kills me to think that I gave away 9 years of my life to this.

In two weeks I will celebrate 1 year of sobriety. My laughter is real, my good moods aren't chemically induced, I go to bed and sleep well without "help" now. Hard to believe I actually greived over losing the freedom to do pills as I wanted.

Yeah, this is much better.

Always a good idea. Very encouraging.

27 totally clean days. 110 days that had 3 or 4 "bad" days of falling back. I count them because I recognized it quickly both times, and was blessed to not have to go through any withdrawals. It's why I keep two tickers/trackers in my profile.

Much less anxiety, jogging more than ever in my life, and my mental clarity is there. Thanks!

38 days clean for me.
Everytime I crave or I am having a hard time with life, I just replay my life on pills. It was a living nightmare.
I also post everyday and attend NA. I can't overstress enough the importance of one addict helping another. Most people out there feel so alone in their addiction, I know I did. Finding everyone here was and is a Gods send because I realized I am not alone and if other people can get and stay clean than so can I.
If your new here, please stick around, post, read, send private messages.
You won't believe how much love, courage and strength you will find here.
We just want to help eachother get and stay clean.
Bless everyone!

I now know why people use again because the pain of being off sometimes feels like it will never end.  I guess I just tricked myself thinking this was no big deal because I didn't take a lot of pills. I just can't seem do do anything and then I feel guilty about not doing anything.  I just know that there is a light ahead and that keeps me going...it's been about 2 weeks. Coming to this forum was the best thing I could do.

123 days for me!!!!!! I could never do it without the help of this forum, I read on it and I see myself in so many people here. I have been through a lot in my life but this truly has been the toughest issue to handle, it affects every area in my life. Learning why I use has been really hard but as a result of the wonderful people who share, aftercare, meetings, I am doing really well. Everyday is still a bit of a struggle but when I lay my head down at night I have another day that is quite a gift. Clear eyes and a clear head what a blessing that is.
