Day 17

Just wanted to post a quick note.  I am mostly a lurker, but wanted to share a little.  Today is Day 17 of being clean.  I have not taken any pills since Jan. 5.  I have also managed to not have a drop of alcohol or smoke any weed.  Completely clean for the first time in years (lots of years).  I have been in therapy (it helps), reading the forum and trying to take care of myself.  Thanks guys for all of your help, even it was indirectly.

Honestly, therapy is a great help and I would highly recommend it.  It is a good way to bounce ideas and thoughts off of a professional who is not there to judge you.  My therapist always give me little insights into the biology/pathology of an addict that make it easier to understand and deal with.  I will continue to go as long as it takes.
