We can raise our glasses, not to wash down some pills, but to toast a cleanliness and life back to the way we once knew! Back to the family who worried about us when they didn't really know nor understand what was going on. To them and our kids for being our solid rocks because we knew if we didn't get clean and stay that way, we would pass it to them. But most important, to us, that went through probably the hardest time of our life, with our lives back and to have the strength to resist our DEVILS! To the strength to flush and go cold turkey, as I done, to the ones who had the strength to wean, as I was NOT that strong. Mostly to God, who seen us through it, loved us and came looking for us like the shephard who looked for the one sheep that got away from the herd. I consider you all to be my shephards and with the strength I have been given, I am ready to assume the role as a shephard or angel. Thank you all! Hear! Hear!

Oh, the concert tees! I know you wouldn't believe it but I got all of mine before the drugs. That is a great thing because I love music so much that it is something that I find very helpful to go back to. Problem is I have lost all of those concert buddies and have no more or I would be on my way to Greensboro right now to see Bon Jovi and Chris Daughtry.

CHEERS!
You are right this IS a fabulous place and the people here are worth more than gold!
I loved Angie's phrase, "been there, done that, smoked the t-shirt" ROFL, too funny, and I hear ya, girl! (Dang I wish I still had all the concert tshirts I have bought, has to be at least more than 50 in my life)
To all of the ones who dont know if they can quit, just keep reading. You will see there is always someone worse off than you are, and if you find the right story/person, or combination, it WILL touch something inside you to say "I can do this too!".
Take care and hang tough!
Peace~

Wow, this is one Palm Sunday I will not forget! Maybe the postiveness is oozing from the fact that next Sunday is the day we came out of living under the law and now we are living in grace! By him, all things are forgiven! I love you guys and I know not one of you, yet I know you better than your family does!

Everything is so positive today! I came on here looking for some warmth in my feet and instead I got it in my heart! Thank you all!

[gizzy32]

well said, CHEERS!

[anjel75]

If you are on here struggling or thinking about quitting, this is the family you want to have. This family right here will get you through the worst of times and be kind if that is what you need or kick your *** when that is what you need. Better than NA, substance abuse couselors or your own doc. Weve been there, weve done that and we smoked our t-shirt! HERE IS WHERE YOU WILL BELONG!
