19 day update.....

Know whats weird? I DON'T COUNT DAYS ANYMORE! Lol! In the beginning I knew down to the minute but now I have 19 days under my belt ( HUGE for me) ! I didn't think I would make it through those first few days but ya'll were right...I LIVED! Here I am alive and well. Its kinda like a rollercoaster ride. I have UPS and then DOWNS... Not 2 many days where its just LEVEL! Know what I mean? I KNOW I have 2 give myself time to heal. 19 days isn't going to heal 6 years of abuse! When things get really bad for me I've noticed that being HERE on MH around all of you guys HELPS TREMENDOUSLY! I don't think Ive ever laughed so much as I do when we are all goofing around... When I crave...I come here ( ha, that's why im ALWAYS here) when Im down...I come here. As many of you know I frequent many MH forums and I find that encouraging and supporting others plays a BIG part in my recovery! I KNOW the fear of WD's and I KNOW how the "flu" feels so when I see someone come on that is feeling that way MY HEART BREAKS for them... THAT FIRST STEP is the hardest...After that it's DAY by DAY...CHOICE after CHOICE! I wan't to thank you ALL for all the ADVICE, SUPPORT, and ENCOURAGEMENT! Without you guys I wouldn't be sitting here PILL FREE today! This is a community of BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE who are ALL fighting the good fight! If your lurking and wondering "can I quit?" THE ANSWER IS YES! My first post said "I CANT GET OUT OF BED WITHOUT MY PILLS!" CAN'T is a BIG WORD! CAN'T NEVER DID ANYTHING! GUESS WHAT? Ive been getting out of bed without pills for 19 days and SO CAN YOU! CAN'T is not in my vocabulary! I CAN DO ANYTHING I WAN'T on my own WITHOUT meds for assistance! AGAIN! THANK YOU ALL! Im BLESSED to KNOW YOU and I'm LEARNING SO MUCH! WHO says ya can't teach an old dog new tricks????

Thanks!! Today is a rough day as far as the choices go. It seems like everytime I start to feel better i forget everything and want to use again, thinking one time won't be a big deal. I know I'm wrong. Staying close to here today.
