Keep up the fight!!

I know it has been a full moon around here lately and  I can only hope that we all find the strength to fight our addictions and enjoy the life that we have been  given.  I have learned so much through the past few years about this disease,  going through the mental battle of staying clean and learning to live life on life's terms without turning to our DOC is a very difficult task as that is the only way we knew who to cope.  But we have to break the habit, like smoking cigs, you light up after you eat, after a fight, after sex etc.,  but once you BREAK the cycle,   it does start to become a habit and before we know it we have added clean time under our belts.  So my friends, lets fight this beast lets put on our coat of armor and be ready to battle, i am ready... are you?

So true - life on drugs is merely passing the time and letting it slip thorugh your fingers... Seize life and LIVE IT!

HOOORY guys!!! we need to fight we are all in this together, we are an army and do not mess with us!!!!  WE need some encouragement on here and as Ricart said "this is a fight to win, there are no successful drug addicts" All our lives depend on our sobriety and life is just so much easier just letting it be than chasing the drug....IT s so hard and we are learning and as long as we continue to become as knowledgable as possible and continue to  be the best that we can be we all will be just fine.  Life is just worth living, life on drugs is just being......it's not living

Great post Dane !!    I am going to keep up the fight because it's a whole lot easier than keeping up the fight to keep using and stay sane and lose everything and everyone around me. This fight is mine to win .The other was a no win situation as there are no successful drug addicts. I hope everyone here keeps up the fight .I really do.
