FIVE Months
by confused456, Jul 18, 2008 09:20AM
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing good. Today I am celebrating FIVE months of sobriety thanks to this forum and all of you wonderful people here that have helped me. I wanted to pop in and say "THANK YOU" to everyone here. Every person here has helped in some way. This forum is a wonderful place to get the support and encouragement needed to get off your DOC.
I have not been around here lately which in a way is a good/bad thing. The bad part is that I miss everyone! The good part is that I am now back to LIVING my life which feels absolutely wonderful!! :-) For me, that was the whole reason for getting clean, so that I could LIVE again and spend time with my 3 wonderful children! Thank you all for helping me to gain my life back! You all have given me more than you could know. It is very appreciated.
For anyone interested in what's new with me, I am busy with my flowers as usual. My yard is looking great. (Or at least I think so but I am biased! :-) LOL)
I got to meet Jen813!! You Rule Jen! :-) That was great and we had a blast! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time and it felt great!!
My 8 year old son was at his friends house who is one of our neighbors and he was attacked by their dog. He was bit and scratched on both his upper legs, thighs, and his butt. He had to get stitches and just got them out yesterday. They put butterfly stitches over the bites where they removed the stitches but he is actually doing really good and luckily he is not scared of our dogs!
THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!
Worried878, Lostdreams, Corey411, and Gator...Special thanks to you all for still checking in on me!!

Xandria and girly44, you CAN do this! It is SO worth it! I can honestly say that this is THE BEST thing that I have done, not only for myself but also for my family! There are so many rewards to getting off your DOC. I suggest possibly making a list to remind you of the reason that you want to quit and post it wherever you are most of the time!! :-)
Put a photo of your kids next to it if it helps you! You CAN do it!! Best to all of you. Hugs
