Waiting and waiting

I have been waiting a full 365 day for this day to get here lots of ups and downs but no drugs and no alcohol have been in my system. If any of you had known me while I was using you would be as shocked as I am. Recovery works even for someone like me. So won't you join me and help me celebrate my very first full year of recovery! There is no place I would rather celebrate than here with you. Xoxoxox

To all persons who are just starting your journey, the help on this forum and 12step meetings made the differance between staying clean and being in recovery and going back out and using. If your struggling reach out to me or others here and get the support that you deserve.

To all who are just starting out I was you I am you. One day at a time, sometimes I was five min. at a time. I would just say ok I will not use untill this show on tv is over, ok I will not use untill I have read ten full medhelp threads, I can even remember when I was in a really bad spot and I had a friend come over and take my phone and car keys for the whole day and night. The more days I had clean the more meetings and treatment I did it was like practice being clean till it becomes inate. So practice practice practice to each and everyone of us. Becca
