Roll Call time!!

Sorry Giz,beating you to the punch again with it but I'm so proud of what I've been reading I wanted to hear all the success stories,even if it';s 3 days sober!!!It's day 185 for me and I feel good.It can be done and we're all here to support each other.I notice a TON of questions about how long w/d will last--generally 3-5 days depending somtimes longer from what I heard.Another word of advice...HEalTH PAGES!!!! They contain tons of useful things.So sorry guys....rambling..let's hear about clean time and how you're doing!!!~Anne

I 'm not sure what the deal is but I always seem to show up right on time for the Roll Call
....Last night at a speaker meeting I listened to a woman share who's recovery date was 1974... Wow, Her message was simple and easily understood.
Thats kinda how I roll. I've been around long enough that if it was my passion I could recite the Basic Text of NA.....It's not. Yet I love NA~~
Life on life's terms---- The world didn't stop, for me to get clean. People kept living their lives while I was begining to map out what mine was going to look like.......
....Needless to say, left to my imagination of a good life??? I sold myself short. The life that I claim today is  FAR from the shortcommings of my earlier days of dreaming.
My recovery is more like dis-covery of ones self, full of twist and turns hardships and glory from the mountaintops. I try to keep my recovery fresh~  Thats how I roll.
Congrats to all you guys living clean today~~ Keep it simple!!!!  Keep it real!!!!   Keep it fresh!!!~~~  My clean date is January 21 1985~~ I have a sponsor, I have a home group, I have a support system, and I have you guys~~~Debra W. I am a addict

Congrats everyone:o) Happy 3 months Giz. I am just a week away from my 6 months. Feeling good in my skin again. Still seeing my addiction counselor, NA, sponcer and meditation group for my recovery. Soooo many relapses over the past 3 years of my 8 year addiction. Having the support of so many people to hold me accountable to my recovery has made all the difference. Trying to get out of this without lots of support was like running into a brick wall with a bucket on my head....repeatedly. Like Sarah said...get all of the support that is out there. It's a matter of life or death. My spirit is back.....and I'm keeping it:o} Huge hugs, Corey
