So Well Done!!!! Congrats Sweetie....day 14 here, looking to catch up with you : )
All my best.....love, Katya
HALF of a whole YEAR!!!! So great, Bright! Glad you are "buying into"
support and fellowship this time. Isolation is not only a road back to using, but so lonely......that's how we felt under the influence, I'm thinkin.
Keep shining Bright.....and hope you'll be feelin better again really soon~

WOW! 6 months is so huge. Thanks for posting that....I am thinking about aftercare as I don't really have a concrete thing right now except family & friends support and exercise community. Thinking about seeing a therapist but kinda broke right now. Guess I can get my A*$# to a meeting, right? Thanks for the good reminder to keep it moving!
Thanks everyone...I appreciate your kind words of congrats and encouragement!
woo hoo,yip,yip, yaaay. congrats on your 6 months clean and sober.
that is awesome. great job on doing something different this time.
the old insanity of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is so true.
so happy for you that you reached out for the help and are running the marathon on the recovery road with patience.
keep the faith.
keep moving forward.
Congrats on 6 months clean!! You wear recovery well~
Feel better!(you too ricart!)

Hi , Wow 6 months is great , Thanks for the positive post , others will see it can be done .
I am just behind you at about 5 months . I start every morning telling myself how good it feels to be pill free .
I Now enjoy my days & nights . I will never forget how sick the pain pills made me ,how they almost ruined my life . My choice is not to live a life sick with pills and the no life they cause.
Funny how now when i have a painful day or 2 i can still be happy and smile , Never want to take pain pills again . I know now what just 1 Norco will take from me . Not worth it ... Ron
Congradulations. Just like you. I didn't buy into aftetcare. Now I am a regular at meetings. And what a huge difference aftercare makes. I can't say that enough.
I'm glad we live in a society that encourges us to get well instead of sterotyping us as junkies.
When we are using and or at the beginning of recovery we feel so lost and alone. And we don't have to live like that. Its my opinion once we make a commiment to ourselves to get better...well we get better. I'm not saying it will be an ovrrnight experience. But...everyday we choose to be clean is another day we heal.
I am still and constantly struggling with lettijg go. Wow that's hard. But...those mettings give me so much strength. And so much support. Support I never knew existed. I thought I was the only one who thought this weird way. Now I know hetter.
Its so cool not to have to live like that anymore.
thats the best part of recovery.
Thanks guys! Hope you're feeling better soon ricart!
Congrats...and now I want cookies! :)
