Roll Call time!!!

It's that ime again-montlhy Roll Call time!!! For those that are new I post a monthly Roll Call in which everyone is welcomed to post their clean time no matter how long it is-1 day to 1 year. You must start somewhere so if this is your 1st day,or 1st hour,congratulations on making that 1st step!!! No,it won't be easy,but trust me when I say this in the long run it will be well worth the battle. This is a daily battle that we fight. We must choose daily whether we will use or not. Know what your "triggers" are (what causes you to use) and do all that you can to avoid them. Guard that clean time and always keep your guard up!!! Know that you CAN do this and that you are not alone in this struggle. We have all been there before,some of us have had to start over again due to relapse. If that's the case pick yourself up and start over again-don't dwell on it!!

So....let's hear it everyone!! What's your clean time???? I'm at 934 days so far,and yes,I still struggle occasionally. But being here and reading others stories helps. This site is a God-send. So stick around and let us help!! Let's hear it everyone!! Who wants to start?????

Hi B, dont be so sad, hug your kittens as they are your family for sure. No greater love than these will give you. Their love for you is pure and they see you as a mom as real as any human can. See into their eyes and tell me thats not so! Feel their warm soft bodies near your feet as you sleep. Hear their purrs thanking you for being there.  That dark road you fear now has light and if ever faced with going that direction again, you now know where it leads so dont fear it as you know it for what it really is. I believe God already gave us a plan and thats bringing light and hope to all creation. To be in touch will all that God created is a glorious beauty. I once saw a small baby roach that fell and crawled to the top of my bath sponge what was floating in my hot water tub, i reached for it and blew it dry and let it outside. I wrote the below about this experience and is titled:
Insects
"To go out of my way for another, to take the time to sooth their wound,
to breath the life back into their body, to treat their affliction
as if it were happening to me.
When i fall i pray to God i am shown the same mercy."

301 days! Hanging in there. I found 3 baby baby kittens that need me and that has helped redirect me from the pain I have and my bad mood lately. Although I feel like I am falling apart. Im having trouble dealing with my age and not having started a family. That is very painful for me to think about. I just hope that God has a plan in place for me. Because I can see going back down the dark road. That scares me.

5 months on Sunday!!!!  WOW, what a changed person i am!!  It's a battle that i continue to fight and just continue to pray for the strength that i will need to keep on going.  All us addicts are the STRONGEST human beings out there, what we have all accomplished in itself just shows our strengths!!!  I want to thank all of my medhelp friends for guiding me through this journey without y'all i would not be here today thinking clearly and most importantly being pill free.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart...Hugs to all
