I didn't respond to this yesterday because I wanted to wait till today to say 30 days! Aftercare is my doctor, my husband and family, and medhelp. I try to spend a little time most days giving back the help I received.

[avisg]

clean ,it happens If have done it my self without thinking before just trying to get back on track LOL

[cleanmom]

Im sorry Avis, sometimes i cant resist. Self control, Jacky, self control! You are absolutely right, recovery care is key. We can not do without it.

[peaceinknowing]

I'm back, and apologize for being gone for such a long time, haha!

I'm no longer pregnant - it was a false positive. It crushed me, but I've stayed strong throughout the entire thing. I've had a few medical issues since I was last on the forums, but have been able to cope with those with the help of my new amazing doctor who knows about everything. Not sure how long I've been sober, as I try not to keep count anymore. It's been well over six months, and absolutely NO slip-ups, either!

Aftercare is just talking to my doctor. He's seen and had a lot of patients who've unwillingly become addicted or dependant on pills, but he knows that I was addicted, and I've been able to deal with that as well. I also attend NA meetings when I can.

Life is good people

[avisg]

where is do find peoples post very funny and I could see my self doing that. The post kind of got hijacked .I want to make sure people are really seeing the need for recovery care and how much of a diffrance it can make in clean time and minimize relapses ...So lets get back on track ... So i dont need to get the bus.

[micheleTX]

[troubleinohio]

3 days is AWESOME Bad_O, and remember we all started on day one! Good luck with your come clean day, for me it was such a relief, I never realized how hard I worked to keep my "secrete". Remeber you can always come to these boards for support, but aftercare is a must!!!!!

[Bad_Obsession]

3 days!  Hey...it may not be as long as everyone else, but I am just as proud!  lol.  I am going to check into aftercare next week.  Today is "come clean" day.  I am telling my family and my wife about it.  I have already told all of them that I need to talk to them about something tonight.  It's all part of relasing guilt and the demon.  It no longer controls me!  ;)

[troubleinohio]

LMAO you guys! i can so totally see Avis buying some old beater bus out of a junk yard- spray painted 8 different colors w/ her own additions stenciled on "AFTERCARE EXPRESS"  it LOL.  It'd sorta be like that Montel WIlliams deal only lower budget lol

[fengirl09]

Oh sorry, I forgot the aftercare part. I see a therapist and go to group meetings.

[fengirl09]

671 days for me from fentanly!!! Everyone is doing sooooo great!! Congrats to all.

[sofie364]

91 days clean, only been to one na meeting they are hard to get into in the area i live, they also have large waiting lists but hopefully in the next few weeks i will be attending them again x

[freedom007]

42 days sober...

AA/NA meeting as often as I can...working the steps with my Sponsor.  I have a therapist and my wife and I are working hard to understand what we are dealing with.  I am truly trying to understand what my triggers are and why I have a compulsion to use drugs.  Knowledge is Power...Power is Freedom...Acceptance is the start.  Life is truly a gift and I want to experience every minute of it "awake"!
