vacation

[glamisgirl]

Well its amazing. I went on vacation clean and sober. Haven't been able to do that in years. It felt so good to have a normal to do list the day before I left that didn't include trip to urgent care to cushion my supply for my vacation. I packed a bathroom bag with no pills and a suite case with no pills and a purse with no pills. It might seem silly to some people but I'm sure you all can understand how amazing that feeling is to not be chained to that pill bottle. I had a wonderful time and had more energy to do out door things on this trip then I've had in years. So happy right now. By the way 41 days clean, feeling great and continuing to move forward.

I'm so happy I read this, so uplifting for everyone to read so it is. If you think at how much pressure we addicts have put on ourselves with all the lying, hiding, sneaking, the need to be close too and the need to re-supply, its massive pressure, I think we all deserve a vacation after that. I'm only a couple of days ahead of you in recovery so I know how you feel, it feels good not having all them extra burdens on you. Congrats on your 41 days clean and free. I'm so happy you had a great vacation, and a clean one at that. May you have many more.

Wishing you all the happiness in the world, ;)

So happy you had a pill-FREE vacation....and you had fun...and energy....and you are 41 days clean now!  You go glamisgirl....lol....!!!!

I haven't been on a vacation yet since getting clean....but am at least "dreamin" about that day. haha!

You and Kyle both made me think back to the last time I packed a suitcase....how I always hand carried my pills on a plane....or if just driving....I took a small cosmetic suitcase that locks.....I always kept the dang thing locked so NO ONE could get or see my pills.  Crazy days....so glad they are gone....and thanks for sharing the joy of your vacation with us.
Next stop.....60 days, dear one~

Congrats on 41, and man oh man do I understand. One trip I was mid-air and panicked because I suddenly realized that the airlines could lose my luggage and I'd be without my meds. From that point on I kept my pills with me, hidden from my family. I even worried about hotel housekeepers taking my pills so I hid them in the room. A lot of time and effort wasted. I can relate.
