17 days clean from Opiates!!!! I am feeling pretty darn good - WOW - 17 days I am very happy about that...
Congrats to all!
Newbie here.
I have Multiple Sclerosis and have been on Norco for 7 years! I just stopped taking it 2 days ago, so it's going to be a rough week *so far I just feel sick to my stomach and no appetite*.
The problem is I have chronic pain due to my illness, so I need to find some kind of pain relief replacement.
I found I was taking more Norco than prescribed, because my tolerance is so high after all those years. I really feel like I'm stuck between a rock and hard place, but I am determined to remain off the Norco! I have a loving family with 3 beautiful boys, and I HAVE to be there for them -- and I want it to be me they love and not some drugged-out version of me.
You guys are all very encouraging and I have enjoyed and been inspired by your posts!!
64 days and still rocking sobriety!
Day 36 for me today!!I never thought I'd make it this far.Thank you to all who have helped me along the way.I've managed to taper my suboxone down to 1/day and eventually taper to 0/day.I'm back to my old self again!!!Thanks all!!
9 thousand sumpin clean days!
Congrats freebird
U sound as if u keep up with ur aftercare and u keep moving forward
U impress and inspire me
Thanx
Life goes on!
I do know in times of stress, we gotta watch our backs
I have also learned the hard way, aftercare is the key to long term sobriety for most of us who have made it several yrs...
I also have found it is best not to be so hard on ourselves!
People r not perfect, and neither are we!
Just finished 52 hours and counting off of Hydro... It is very hard I will say.. Reading all the stories of yours inspired me to kick it.. Hope I make it as long as many of you have and forever but right now, every minute seems like eternity. Thanks.
I want to say congrats to all of you....this is a amazing forum and I wish I had known about this when I was detoxing you guys are awesome...I have 397 days and things get rough every now and then but I know I never want to go through the H E L L that I went through ever ever again...GOD BLESS YOU ALL...shine

You guys give me inspiration just tell me how do you first start getting up in the morning wiyhout feeling like a mac truck hit you?
@ Avisg and Going to make it~~~ My story is anyone story~~ Those who came before me and and carved out some truths we need to accept about addiction, and how to get clean~~~~ And those on the path of honesty today staying clean Jest For Today~ And our future FLAME carriers that will continue to carry the message to the still suffering addict The ones clean, the ones Trying to get clean and the ones Still using and haven't found a better way
That no addict seeking recovery need ever die of this disease~~~ Much Love
Thanks for sharing your story. It is nice to know that one can live life and remain clean.

never understood what there was to Celebrate about. my experience with clean time was white knuckles and cravings. Then I turned a corner by staying with it. (thanks to the peeps here) Now I am starting to feel like there is something to celebrate. I am starting to see the light. thanks for asking and keep being awesome everyone, every day.
Show off!!!
I can not tell you how much you have helped me over these years. Thank you for your support and faithfulness.
Three years :) with help for my recovery support team and family and all of my friends here
Every clean day is a celebration. A hearty congratulations to all.

WOW Congrats everyone for me its 320 days off the pills and methadone ...5 yrs 5mo
off the weed and alcohol...i agree with Sara guard your clean time and you do that with aftercare....good luck and God bless......Gnarly
....Last night at a speaker meeting I listened to a woman share who's recovery date was 1974... Wow, Her message was simple and easily understood.
Thats kinda how I roll. I've been around long enough that if it was my passion I could recite the Basic Text of NA.....It's not. Yet I love NA~~
Life on life's terms---- The world didn't stop, for me to get clean. People kept living their lives while I was begining to map out what mine was going to look like.......
....Needless to say, left to my imagination of a good life??? I sold myself short. The life that I claim today is FAR from the shortcommings of my earlier days of dreaming.
My recovery is more like dis-covery of ones self, full of twist and turns hardships and glory from the mountaintops. I try to keep my recovery fresh~ Thats how I roll.
Congrats to all you guys living clean today~~ Keep it simple!!!! Keep it real!!!! Keep it fresh!!!~~~ My clean date is January 21 1985~~ I have a sponsor, I have a home group, I have a support system, and I have you guys~~~Debra W. I am a addict
