Another Roll Call

[gizzy32]

It's only been a few weeks since I did a roll call, but I want to read about all your success regardless if it's only a day clean. I am craving bad today and just want to cry, swear and maybe punch somebody, lol.

Please brag about your clean time and how your feeling now after stopping? What helps you the most get through a big craving? For me, talking about it right away makes a huge difference, although I guess I still have trouble admitting when I am weak, but right now I am weak. Using is not an option, but those head games are just crazy. Let's hear some positive and brag away everyone. We can do this together, one day at a time:)

I am getting close to 5 months clean again, congrats to all.

Hey you! what a great think to reach out when you are feeling this way , this is my understanding of recovery  ...a different way of doing things !!! Today I am 448 days clean !!
Tomorrow morn I go for a presentence report and then in two weeks for trial so there is 5 charges from 2006, clearing up the wreckage of my past, living in the solution and stay clean just for today ,thank you very much for being part of my recovery god bless

going on 11 months and basically stopped counting, I think about it daily as a reminder of how crazy and horrible things were back then, but I have to live my life in a routine, God, Family, Job and meetings, its a good life, love ya

You know how I have battled - and lost at times - throughout this opiate addiction.  
13 days away from suboxone...but to be honest Gizzy - as bad as I feel about it - I cannot say 13 days clean because of a couple of percs, though that has been several days now.  But I feel such shame and disappointment for that - you know that you do not want to have those feelings.  I never even got high but I certainly got the low -  
You have come so far...I know how hard it is at times but you did the right thing by addressing this craving.  That is the difference in being a recovering addict, the decisions you make when cravings occur.
Keep up the great work and stay strong and focused.  No doubt that you can overcome -
Peace

Congrats to everyone in here I had no idea there were so many people on here that have so much clean time under their belt! Also big thanks, everyones amazing support and knowledge makes the process much better!
