NO JOKE!

Question

°*”˜˜”*°•.¸★☆★¸.•°*”˜˜”*°•.
STAYING clean is harder than getting clean!
°*”˜˜”*°•.¸★☆★¸.•°*”˜˜”*°•.
  When I first found MH I thought my story and what I was going through was so unique! Imagine my surprise after reading post and getting advice that many people have gone before me and KNEW EXACTLY where I was coming from! I now read new peoples posts and remember the sad, frightened girl 68 days ago! This isn't a battle to be fought alone and pride has no place in my recovery. It doesn't make us weak to want/need/ask for help! It makes us dumb when we don't!!! We have so many tools at our disposal to help us fight this war! 
I want to thank each and every one of you for seeing me through the storm! I am starting to see sunny days! 
I am so proud of each of you who give of yourself so unselfishly!
To any who are just embarking on this journey or to those who are thinking about it please KNOW that today is the first day of the rest of your life and YOU CAN DO IT!! Nobody will tell you that it's EASY but everyone will tell you its worth it!
.       ONE CHOICE AT A TIME!

CONGRATS on 69DAYS I didnt start crave till 90ish days....
Its nice to see such an uplifting post...
I know we are both craving ON THE SAME day, usually if one of us are down or craving the other is good...strange... but your right ONE choice at a time, I choose sobriety.
Is it a full moon? must be
At least we know we have each other FOREVER!! text if you need me babay

69 days... U would think the cravings would be gone by now! (they were for a while) but now they are back today! Weird! I know how to handle them better now .⊰♥⊱

Holy heck Rosy it surely is no joke. Especially when you add chronic pain to the mix. Amazing though coming here and finding how many others are suffering the same misery, gives strength to know you're not alone.

Thank you Rosy. It's so easy to have high expectations and think the hard part is the detox. In reality the struggle continues well beyond. There will be good days and bad days. That is life. As long as we don't use, those bad days will always pass. A big hug to all those struggling, new folks and old timers!

I gotta start using those "graphics" in my posts - very festive...And rightfully so. 68 days is fantabulous. Many congratulations. 
And remember, you are on here giving of yourself, helping and support others, so I say thank you for all you do.  Now on to day 90, a year - and beyond!
