8 days clean and seeing the light!

Hi my sweet friends! Day 8 for me today and slept 5 hours! I will take it! Seems like the first day I am able to also hold a cup of coffee in. It has been a hell of a week but I am so relieved that those opiates are out of my life! I spent many hours on this site the last 8 days and don't think I could've done this without all the support! For all you newbies, there are amazing people here to help you! Quitting cold turkey is doable, I am alive and doing well. Ready to live my life clean and sober! I have a lot of work to do as far as therapy etc to find out why I went to this dark place and I am taking those steps because I deserve a happy life. We all do! I am done punishing myself! That is what I have been doing for years! I vow to stay on this site and help others on their sober journey. I also want to send a special shout out to D. We bonded from day one and formed a buddy system! Our connection was one of the best things that happened to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! S, congrats to you too and thanks for always being there for us! MH was a God send!

Congrats to the 3 of you on your 8th day!!! For the last week I have watched the 3 of you support each other!!! You all seem to get it and know what you have to do in order to keep it!!!

The posts the three of you have been sharing has reminded me of how strong my resolve was in the early days and has reinvigorated my efforts as I have over 5 moths of sobriety.. I thank you all for the inspiration that you have not only provided me but I'm sure many other (newbies and old timers)... That's why they say "the most important person in the room is the newbie"

Anyway, I wish all of you the best and continued success in your recoveries... Keep it going and keep taking it one day at a time..
