One year clean today!

Well, back when I was using, I NEVER thought I'd see this day. The hard part now is fixing and changing all the aspects of my life that I neglected for so long. But, I do not crave pills. Yes, the obsession goes away. But, only because I'm in a program that I work really hard.

To the newbies: LISTEN to what people w/ clean time tell you. Do what they do. This is an awesome sight.

Thanks everyone:)

Jill

Holy shite,a year!!! Awesomeness!!! I've been struggling with emotions these last 6 weeks for some reason. I'm at 7 months. It's a long road that's for sure. Them 7 days at the beginning are NOTHING. When ppl say getting clean is the easy part,staying clean is the hard part. That's no joke. Proud of you Jill,I know how hard it is. But the program helps me every single day.

Oh Honey....I am SO very proud of you. You are like the poster child for how to go forward in your recovery. You went through struggles in the beginning and didn't want to go with blind faith but you finally surrendered and look where you are. Yes, there are good days and bad days but that is just life. You will never know how many days you kept me clean. You are an inspiration to this community and I hope you stick around. One foot in front of the other.....
