HEY EVERYONE!!!

[BornofOsiris]

Man I haven't been on here in a long time I see so many new faces. Wellllll I have been doing great on the 27th I was 6 months clean from oxy/vics/norcos or any type of pain killer. I also had the help of suboxone and help from a psych, NA, and group therapy. Man I feel great I have never been so happy! My girlfriend is pregnant and today we found out that we are having a healthy boy =). We like the name Landon, and expecting in january. Just bought my new gaming computer that I have been saving up for with the money I didnt spend on drugs. Its a very tough battle going day to day and trying to put on a strong face even though your suffering on the inside and wanting to scream in agony. Thats why we must never give up, never forget what its like to be in that pain and the what it feels to be in the arms of sorrow. For everyone in the W/D stage, keep pushing, stay strong, and dont slip up or put your position to slip up. There is no, "Im going to just get a little high and that's it" all that does is re-surface your addiction. Take it day by day, if you have to take it minute by minute and keep reminding yourself not to give up. Get a good support system as in, people to talk so you can let out those built up emotions (this is why I go to the psych DR.) Things to do, hobbies (I play bass, so I joined a band lol). One of the biggest keys I believe to staying clean is honestly, getting a job or going to school for the majority of the day. Now dont go and try to get a job while your w/d'ing its no bueno, but what the job or school does is, it gives you something to do for the majority of the day and helps you establish a balance, socializing (sometime PAW symptons can cause a fear of leaving your home) Gives you gives you direction. Well Im not going to keep on blabbing no more so I love everyone and I hope everyone can keep on pushing and NEVER give up to these nasty drugs. Keep hope, Keep Faith, Keep Trying.

Great to hear from you Dallas! Glad to hear that you are doing so well. Congrats on your baby! Your life will change for the better the day he arrives. It's a feeling that can't really be explained. He will be an amazing gift and the feelings of emotion will be some of the best feelings of your life when you hold him for the first time. Now you have an even bigger reason to continue on the path of sobriety!!
Once again, congrats on getting your life back on track. Remember that we are always here for you if for some reason you ever get that urge again. Be sure to get on here and post first and we will get you through before  you go down that road again.
Best of luck to you, your girlfriend, and the little one!
