11 Months Clean Today!
Almost a year ago I went through detox hell. Hard to believe.
I want to encourage new people to stick with it. So many posts talk about life after meds...how can I ever be happy or have energy or feel the natural high of everyday living. Fear of being without the medicated false sense of well being is crippling. I am here to tell you life without pills is wonderful.
I've re connected with one of my loves - riding motorcycles. I can't explain the joy - the rush - I get riding along a country road. And I'd bet almost everyone has a passion that they've set aside for their addiction - running, stamp collecting, re building old cars, dancing...You name it, most of us have a source of happiness (besides family and friends) that, while using, seemed mundane - boring even.
Anyway, I'll stop my babbling. I've been enjoying myself so much and want to let others know that everything is possible when you're clean.
Thanks to everyone...Over and over again.

Congrats on 11 months kyle! You have worked hard for this and it is paying off. I too got back into motorcycling again and had some great trips this summer. It is a freedom that is hard to put into words. If you ever see someone that looks like Mary Poppins make sure you give me a wave!
Well hello my friend! YAY you! 11 months...are you gaining on me? That's awesome about the motorcycles. How about the music? I'm so proud of you Kyle. Keep moving forward with that joy in your heart!

Congratulations Kyle! 11 months is simply amazing! I am certainly not as creative or eloquent in my words, as some of us are, so I just simply want to say that it's wonderful that you are so happy, and I thank you for all the words of wisdom and support you give!
All the very best to you and your family!
