So my 19th Day  has arrived!  I imagined this feeling of accomplishment would be ever present and it is!  I don't want anything to distract or dissuade me from what I am here to do. We all enter this forum cuz we need help and know it and it feels so great to find that support here. As time progresses we sometimes find ourselves not only being the recipient of support but lending our own to others. It has profound affects!!! Trust me!
Whether you just read posts, just write posts or both ...it's the fact that u r here that is most important! Keep on keepin' on and remember that those who forget their past are doomed to relive it!  God Bless ...xxx

Hmmmmm...more than nothing ....yes! It's getting better for sure and I am happy not to have taken anything throughout this whole process. I can't expect to get high for a year straight and just walk away unscathed. No! This , to me, was Helllll and rightly so. Sleep will come when it comes....I am able to function well so it's just a personal battle and I'll win it of course!

congrats on day 19...i know you have worked hard to get where you are now....you rock.

Thank u both!! :D  I try to stay positive and upbeat even if I don't always feel like it... Cuz I tell myself (literally) 'I control me again now' and if I fall into the trap of feeling sorry for myself or getting down on myself then I make this process so much harder to get through. Like all obstacles in life we are faced with ...we must first commit to getting over it and then go into action mode! I don't have time to do things I don't want to do anymore!

Way to go on 19 days Mike! You have had such a positive attitude ever since you began this journey. You prove how much of this is mental and how far the right attitude will take us. If you set yourself up for success you will not fail.

Isn't it great to be able to look into a mirror and actually make eye contact with yourself?! Be proud of that man looking back. You are an inspiration to us all!

Congrats on your new found freedom!
