on the right track

Hey everyone iv been a huge lurker for some time now...over the last year I tried quitting so many times but always fell back into the same routine never making it more then a few days...at least until July 12 when everything changed...my checking account was emtpy and I had thoughts of either pawning some of my golf or stealing from my parents...those thoughts scared the bell out of me ...I ended having a panic attack at work the next day ....the following day I checked myself into rehab...a week long outpatient program...it taught me so much...I have been clean for 53 days and I'm never looking back...I'm going to at least 1meeting a week and reading this forum everyday...I never though I could make it this far.....


Thank you everyone for sharing it helps more then u realize sometimes

26 yrs ....doc vicodin.......10- 20 a day for about a year

Everything is getting back to normal....my girl is slowly gaining her trust back in me ....becuase I'm taking tox screens every week so she knows I'm clean...also taking the naltrexone shot it works great .....our wedding plans are set for Inew years eve and we just booked the honeymoon to hawii...also I'm working like crazy to get out of the hole I put myself in...

It's so nuts that I.thought i needed substances everyday to function ...becuase now I'm way more productive then iv been in years ....

Sorry if I'm rambling but i wanna say so much....one the best parts of breing clean is definitely not thinking of pills all day long its amazing hoe much time i was devoting to those things..

I'd sure like to keep hearing how your life is changing..like you said it helps all of us to read how well or otherwise a fellow addict is doing.

Wow! That's wonderful!   Almost two months!  Thanks for finally checking in!  Are things getting back on track now? Work? Family? Bank?

What's the 26 years? Age? Or length of time using?
