Thanks you guys! This forum and all the wonderful ppl here were key to my success...I couldn't have done it without any of YOU!! Thanks so much to everyone who gave me advice and those who just listened to my rants when I was having an especially bad day. It always helps to get it out and have someone to just listen to you!
Yesterday was 13 weeks clean...it still blows my mind that I kicked the beast! Love it :)
That's fantastic! 90 days u should be soooo proud
Just amazing!!!! You've been through such hell!
It's so wonderful to hear you're out living your life...that's the BEST thing you could be doing. You're an inspiration to others.
Be extra kind to yourself, amd do something nice for YOU today!
XOXO
Congrats 90 days is a big step keep it up.
Hey, I'm new to this forum but this thread stuck out to me. Congratulations! It's good for people like me, still struggling with addiction to see this & see that other people are successful..just takes patient & hard work! I will definitely keep coming back to the forum! Congrats again & I wish u the best in life!!
Thank you Sarah and Evolver...it's truly a blessing to be free...finally! I honestly never believed I would be free of methadone because I was so physically dependent on them. Getting through it was rough...but I did it and here I am!! Happy with how things are and ready to start being the person that I think God meant for me to be. I told smilingbright just the other day that in the beginning, the thought of NEVER taking another pill was absolutely terrifying...and now....the thought of TAKING one is terrifying...but I like that. It's so empowering to not have to depend on swallowing a pill to help get through a normal day! Ahhh!!! Awesome...just awesome :):):):):)
What a great accomplishment!! 90 days is awesome! Keep it going~
A HUGE Hi-Five to you Sweetness, on your Big 90 days - a true milestone! Sounds like all your hard work is really paying dividends! I can't tell you how happy It makes me to hear about people 'Out Living their Lives' - you're newly born and all things are possible! Keep up the great work and don't ever look back!
Gnarly, I believe every word of that because I do still have bad days here n there...but the good days FAR outweigh the bad. On my bad days I always keep in mind that a good days is just around the corner, and that keeps me going. I've found that positivity is everything when it comes to this. Your advice has been so helpful...it's awesome to have someone stand beside you that fought the same battle...it's just different when someone who hasn't a clue tries to tell you things are gonna be ok ya know? Having that someone who HAS went through it tell you everything is gonna be ok is so powerful because you can see that it can be done. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT!!
you go girl.....you can always message me keep in mind this thing is very cyclic so you still get a bad day or 2 but overall 90 days marks the turning point keep doing what your doing and post more often for support and to help others ....................Gnarly
Thanks Gnarly! I started feeling better a few weeks ago...such a big improvement on how I've felt the last few years...I can't imagine how good I'll feel in another 90 days! Oh I can't wait!!
Vickie, my dad told me today how proud he is of me...you never get tired of having your parents tell you they're proud of you! It felt amazing to hear that!! :)

OH YEA !!!! I have to say...I have been married for 27yrs and yes my hubby is so awsome and kind and wow...I just can not believe the respect and care I get now....And I will never ever forget my Dad telling me that he has not seen the Light in his Daughters Eyes in a long time..Now they are not Deep Blue but Bright Blue with a Spark of Life..Ya!!! You go girls I am sure you girls look great.....
Thanks Jen...just so you know...it is SO worth the fight!! Life is so much different now. My hubby said that the woman he married is coming back to him. That made me wanna cry when he said that. We've been together 19 years and the last 8 "I've been gone"...lol..strange way to put it but its true! Keep fighting girl!! If I can do it, ANYONE can!!
Wow that's so awesome.....90 days is huge...keep up the amazing work. ..I can't wait to be able to say I have 90 days behind me.....one day at a time..all these success stories help keep me moving forward.....congrats!!!!!!!!
Thanks Willie, Vickie and toothfairie :)
Vickie, tell your momma I'm doing fine. I did finally hear from the dentist Thursday that my new obturator had come in...but it was made wrong so they have to make another one. Imagine that. But they did say they were putting a rush on this one so hopefully another week and I'll have it! I'm not letting anything get me down now. This one still hurts but I'm actually getting used to the pain now and I can deal with it...or just go to sleep. Lol. I agree, I do need to get my wireless hooked up. I've got the laptop and desktop and they just sit there untouched. What a waste. :( I'll get it one day though. Lol. I'm in no hurry to do anything now though because I've got plenty of time to look forward to!! Thanks to getting off the methadone that is:)
Thanks for the support and encouragement guys! You ARE the best!!

Tab me?? Really? See why I don't post much?? I have a hard time with it...lmao!!! THANK YOU RICART!
Congrats!!!!! That's awesome!
Tab me Ricart!! You helped me more than you'll ever know! I sorta feel guilty for not posting & commenting in awhile...but to be totally honest, I've been out LIVING my life...something I haven't done in years and it feels great!! My daughter told me today that I seem "different...in a good way though mommy"....because I parked all the way in the last spot away from the doors at Walmart and had to walk a good ways to the entrance...all the while holding her little hand in mine and swinging our arms...God I love it!
great job.90 days is a long time.....especially the first 90 days...lol
