8 months off heroin

I know it's not as long as some of your all clean time, but this is a huge step for me. New years will make a year and I'm looking forward to that Mike stone. Sleep is 6-9 hours a night up until last month it was 5-6 hours told so it's gotten better. Boredom with energy is the enemy, having energy to burn with nothing to do seems to trigger drug dreaming so I actually bought a Xbox 1 and a game haven't played games since high school so maybe that will trigger a new hobby. Keep up the good fight everyone.

Appreciate the encouragement I really do. I'm defiantly proud of myself, real emotion and feelings not chemically made. If only the withdrawals were truly the only meaning of getting clean. It's a long fight that you just get better and better at fighting that I'm hoping il turn into Muhammad Ali and knock it's *** out. Haha take care
