ViCOURAGOUS HAS 16 MONTHS!!!
Ms Vic is kicking ash for 481 days y'all. Kicked 3 meds at once! She is so strong, and has been so COURAGEOUS these past few months while undergoing one personal tragedy after another! Many would have cracked. But she remains VICTORIOUS! Thanks for all you do. You inspire me and all of us more than you know. Congratulations on your amazing clean time! I'm still waiting for you to climb up to the top of the cheerleaders pyramid, do a split and shake your pom-poms! You ROCK woman!

Thank you gnarly & mary..That means a lot to me when it comes from people before me. Everyone is GREAT!!!!!
I'm a bit late in posting, but congratulations! I've more or less followed your journey. You're posts and comments and giving back help so many. You've really worked so hard through a lot of hard times. Congratulations.
Hey Vicky congrats on your clean time you have worked hard for it and have a great program of recovery keep posting and telling everyone how it is done your friend Mark
Oh...All of YOU Just amaze me. Each and everyone of you just hit a spot in my Heart. It has been a few days since this was put up..I just wanted to tell YOU ALL that I would not be here if it was not for the SUPPORT I get from all of you..I still cry here and there but it is getting better. It is making me stronger in some sort of strange way that I have never experienced before. I know that my HEART goes out to many of you that have had your losses too!
I THOUGHT it would be a lot harder to deal with Lifes Crisis Clean & Sober..BUT I can feel some of the rewards and why we are to stay Clean and Sober. I know now it is OK to cry and talk to God in my own way.
What will not Break YOU will Make YOU..How true..Thank you all..Really, Really I mean this with all of my Heart.lol

Congrats Vic, 16 month is amazing work and even more so with all you have endured throughout your journey, so proud of you and proud to call you a friend. You helped me so much throughout my journey and so many other too, your an inspiration to many and rightly so. Love and massive respect to ya Vic, ;)
I Wish All Beautiful things to You my beautiful, friend. You're absolutely incredible & I have nothing but admiration for your strength & your soul. Thanks for not giving in. I believe, that if we do our best (& I know you are!) during these terrible emotional & physical crises, that we'll come out the other side changed (no doubt about that!) -- but for the better & stronger -- (like tempered steel ;)
Throughout my own trials, I have thought of you & what you've endured. You'll never now how much it's helped that you've held fast. I'm very, very glad to know you & thank you for all you've done for me & everyone else on this forum. When you have a victory like this, I feel I do too. Thanks for the inspiration.
So, Congratulations, Goddess on 1 year & 4 months!! (Wraps arms around Vic & hugs her.) Btw., I thought your comment was extraordinary -- Just really good -- especially the part about life throwing you curve balls. (Personally, I consider them Bean Balls..[boink! Hey ouch..cut that out..];))

Vi, I'm so proud of you!! I know your going through a lot now. God Bless you. When my mother was sick she lived on our land in a mobile home. I was drinking heavy back then and was a very poor daughter. Didn't do all that much for her. She had a bad heart. She didn't really need much just someone to understand and to talk to. I wasn't there for her. To this day I shutter just thinking about it. At least you won't have that on your plate. Your in my prayers. Wishing you nothing but blessings
Congrats Vickie
You truly are an inspiration. It would be so easy to use going thru everything you have had to deal with. The one thing you will be able to have is the memory of everything instead of a drug hazed blur. You are doing things for your Mom now that you would never be doing if you were high. You would have a tough time forgiving yourself later and you won't have to deal with that because you have been strong and fought through. As hard as it is to deal with now, it will be easier on you because you did it clean. We all know about the guilt we suffer from using.
Hugs to you and to your hubby.

I got up later this morning and was thinking about what my Hub & I were talking about last night.
Lots of us have used this or that for Years. Some just got hooked on the prescriptions. Some of us used for energy, depression, the good feeling, etc. What ever it was for it does not matter. I can not look at "Why" i used this or that starting at the age 14, but I can say that in the past alot of my Drinking & Druggen came from the Deaths of a Loved ones.
The past two months have been the Hardest and most Hopeless feelings I have felt in all my LIFE. I knew that running to cover my feelings would just make things worse or prolong the feelings that needed to come out. IT was not easy at all. I wanted this or that just for the day. Then this really sick feeling would come over me. I knew it would only be a Temporary fix with a Long Term Repair. (as my bud FourJays keeps reminding me). My DR saved my Butt two..I did go and ask him for something because of this Anxiety..He said that we made a pack that no matter how much I beg him never give me anything Addicting. Well I am SO glad he did this..I would be so out of it right now..My Hub would of not talked to me at all. It would of just been BAD and real BAD. I just found other ways to deal with all of this..Sure I cry almost every morning & every night. The pain of my Dog was the hardest ever. I guess because he was my kid and they are innocent and can not tell you how they feel. My Mom is going down fast and that one is going to be one of the worst. I had to UP all my Support because I know whats ahead.
I have learned a very VALUABLE lesson through all of this..YOU better be Darn sure you are ready to stay clean when life throws you a curve ball that looks like a big Mountain coming your way..It is very easy to run and hide under some kind of Substance, but it is darn hard not to. SO if Life sends some Bad, Bad things your way.. Just remember it is not worth using or drinking because of this..You must Buck up and give it TIME..(Oh that nasty word). Reach out for ALL the EXTRA SUPPORT you can get. Sometimes it will do the opposite and Using or Drinking is the Last thing you want to do. SO Please, Please be careful and keep that extra Armour on in Times of Troubles..You can do it and soon you will be so proud you went through ALL this EMOTIONAL Heart Breaking pain with out using.
Thanks each and everyone of you that have been their with your Support since Day One..I will carry you in my Heart for the Rest of my Life and I will always be here for you. If you ever have some tough times and want to use, their are alot of us here that are or have gone through this while just getting clean. lol
Bless U ALL!
