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!
22 days clean. Posting on this board helps me stay clean plus Clonidine helps a lot.

458 days for me. :)
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.
263 days off heroin, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, and all other illegal drugs.
Can someone tell me where on here there is a forum for those who were involved with the drug user and equally affected by that persons drug use???? New to this and looking for help on how to cope with my anger on my ex's drug use and how it affected me as well
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!
Why do I always manage to show up right on time...My clean date is January 21 1985...Woot Hoot I have been clean 26 and1/2 years....Tonight I will go to a meeting with my husband (he is the speaker). Today I was supportive of another recovering addict~I prayed~Monday Nights are my meeting nights.......It continues to be an awesome journey. I welcome all the New Commers~Give yourself a break...The war is over~~We do recover. Surrender To Win.
Hey there Sara!!! How are you?? I'm always here,always "lurking",lol!! Day 340 for me!!:):)
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.
1276 days for me today.
Congrats to everyone who is working at getting their lives back. It is so worth it~~
25 days already WOW YAY me and to all u others on ur clean time:) i was taking vics and perks just for the record what a hard thing to go through but sooooo worth it to regain ur life back... i still have rought hings i am dealing w such as little sleep and RLS (restless legs) they will subside soon i know it pays to get clean stick it out and jsut keep ur head up we need our lives back everyone... blessings to u all and keep it up!!!
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.

today is day 57. Feeling better each day. My doc was tramadol so the depression is still a factor. sobriety is so worth it. Please if you are just starting this journey, please dont give up.
