74 days clean time and can't be more greatful.

[NeedingHope4Me]

I have been away living life for a bit clean and happy and I wanted to come back and say the biggest and most heartfelt thank you to everyone here for the non stop support during the super duper hard stuff.. I am dealing with the pain that I experience daily from my hips and back issues pretty well. YAY  
Soo much has changed from this and it has been rough in parts but the full story is that I am happy and clean and life is GOOD!! ..
I wanted to say my screen name is NeedingHope4Me because I needed some hope when I was scared,alone,miserable and seeing no light at the end of the tunnnel ..I no longer need this as I have hope for everyday from now on thanks to my amazing friends I have made here THANK YOU!!!!

Wow. ...that's pretty righteous....76 days. I don't think I've been clean 76 days in a decade. Congrats!

Hi ,  Very happy for you , over 2 months is great .
Pain is not my strong point , in the past i hurt i took pills , pain was still there so take more pills.
Now almost 5 months pain pill free i still have some pain issues , but it seems to  have eased a bit a few weeks after i quit the pills .
Now i take some Advil use some heat and get thru the pain . Advil helps , and i still have my happy life ..... Ron

Thank you!! I am most greatful for that indeed.I never realized how important it was to be ME .think of ME first so that I could be happy with someone ..He makes me stop and be certain that I take time to feel content with myself all the time and I didn't realize just how much I needed that in my life till I was happy alone and SOBER haha yay..Im sooo happy you are also doing so good btw..Im going to go check and see if you posted ;)

You sound great!   Glad to hear you are moving forward in your life.   I'm happy you have found someone that is supportive of YOU.   My man is also my high school sweetheart and I don't know what I would do without him.   We kept in touch off an on over the years and then when we found ourselves available to each other, nothing was going to keep us apart.   He is a big part of me wanting to stay clean.   The number one reason is or ME.    I can't be present for him or anyone if I am not in control instead of those stupid pills.   I think I'm going to start a new thread on how many people are still around?   I worry about people that went through wd and haven't posted for a while.

I know how terrified and fearful that life would never be ok again was when I started..

Hiii NoLife..I miss seeing you around btw ..I thought of you first thing when I got on..Im soooo glad your doing good I actually was going to post something to you a week back but when I opened this up was the very second my bf decided to call and be all mushy and sweet and then kids got home from school and I forgot what I was doing..haha BUT ..I thought of you .. just wanted you to know!!

Oh and btw..a lil fyi..I split with my now ex who was an ex addict..I realized that we couldnt be sober together..best decision of my life..he is now back using and I am clean and with my best friend whom I have loved for more years than I can count..he is my greatest cheerleader ..he sat with me on my first week clean and watched moves..he is the friend from my journal. :D anyways daily tells me how proud he is even when I am falling apart..okies well.. thank you everyone for being there .. I only hope one day I can repay the gratitude I feel for this place!!

You are doing awesome!!!    I used nolife4me because this (addiction, wd, detox and recovery process) really truly is no life for me or anyone else for that matter!!!     Once you get on the other side it is soooo much better, isn't it!   Good to see you post.  I was just wondering this morning what has happened to some of the posters that were here regularly in my early days.
