Aa
101 days!
I haven't been on in awhile but I just wanted to post not to get accolades but to let the new people know there is hope! I will always be grateful for this site; there is so much love here. My other main reason for posting is to let people know that Narcotics Anonymous really works. I was so resistant at first; I could kick myself in the butt now. I have met so many wonderful people that will forever be a part of my life. With the people in those rooms I spent Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve completely clean!! First time since I was 14 and I am 51. I have laughed, cried and hugged so many incredible people. Addiction has no boundaries; it attacks everyone in all socioeconomic status. I have true, genuine people that I know will always be there for me. My life is becoming an open an open book and guess what people still like me! Letting go of your secrets lightens the load and makes life so much easier.
It took 101 birth days to bring you back, but that is fine. It's good to see you and you and you have hope. Congrats on all the hard work. Never stop growing.
Hi nursey!! Congratulations!!! So proud of you! This was an awesome post to read! I am so glad you came back to share it we have missed you on here! Keep up the good hard work! :)
I am truly blessed to have y'all respond so kindly to me; there is so much love among addicts-LOVE IT!!!!!
You have made it 101 days.. That's wonderful! You should be shouting it out to the world....You inspiration brings hope to many people and one being me. Every day above ground is a good day and they will only get better. Life is a journey and not a destination. Be clean, happy and in the moment at all times and things will naturally fall into place as Im sure you know.
Interesting you mentioned about being an open book and how much it has "lightened your load". Im slowly working on that. I am tapering off methadone and switcking to suboxone when the time is right. I can feel it in your words about how much meeting of all the wonderful people from NA has changed your life. It given me some extra hope as well. I have to force myself to do things and explore new avenues as I am slowly working on myself. What I trying to say is thank you. Congrats on the 100+ day milestone and the many more the follow...you should be SO proud of yourself...your doing great. Keep up the good work! =)

Time for a BIG celebration! It is so nice to hear from you and even nicer to hear of your magnificent progress. Very cool.
Congrats on those 101 days! take the accolades!! you earned all of them! way to go! glad you are doing well!
Congratulations! I remember your posts. You did work hard for this. Hope you'll post once in a while.
What an inspiring post, I love it! Sounds like you have a great group of friends in NA. I also love that place! Wonderful, amazing people. Keep up the good work nursey!
Hooray!! Congratulations on your HUGE 101 days! (I know you don't necessarily want the praise, but you deserve every bit of it!!) This is such a pleasant surprise to see you posting this wonderful, inspiring post, and doing well. I know how much you struggled and how long it took you to get to this point and I am so very proud of you. You changed your mindset and outlook on recovery and something 'clicked' this time. Just awesome!! Keep up the fight and never, ever look back.
It's an awesome feeling knowing how much people give thought to and truly care about someone sight unseen! I went to a NA party on New Years and danced like a crazy person completely sober-a miracle for Ms. Social Anxiety.

Great Post and your timing is great for me. I know how hard you have struggled and it's wonderful to hear how well you are doing.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
You've just MADE MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just JAZZED FOR YOU!!!!!
To the MAX!!!!!
Posting about breaking free from our addiction and what worked THIS time is celebratory NEWS!!! (And you deserve accolades- though I know it wasn't your motive) It does something inside of us....a special something, imo...to post for ourselves when we have a victory! When I first came to MedHelp...a lot of people were freely posting their own milestones and success stories. Then something changed. People started "asking" other people to post "for" them. I personally feel it is a HUGE part of the healing process to have the courage and the "bust your buttons" feeling that very well SHOULD well up inside of us when we are successfully staying clean.
It is so different from the insecure, isolating behaviors we were plagued with in our early days getting clean.
I love it that you shared what you "resisted".....and what you have now become willing to do.... for all the joy it is bringing in your life. You've always been dear to my heart, M.....and I'm gonna be in a good mood ALL day just because of YOU!!!
WAHOO YOU......101 GLORIOUS>>>>HARD WON DAYS!!!!!
Continued blessings and much love,
Connie
