Hey People I'm back Happy Thanksgiving day 87

[chopper841]

I had a great thanksgiving sober I would catch my family staring at me every once in awhile and saying I can't believe how good you look.  "You look so healthy" I did not have a problem with alcohol my problem was opiates and heavy doses like most on here.  I'm so grateful to this website for getting me through those dark days,  Guiding me and making me realize "sober is the best drug" 87 days clean I watched others at the table drink wine and beer the little voice in my head said "GRAB A BEER" I told that voice in my head I want to feel the emotions of this day, good, bad, sad, whatever but I want to feel my emotions if that makes sense to anyone.  We all laughed talked more than ever before. For the first time in a long time I laughed, I laughed not the drug and the emotions were all good ones I wish some of my old friends on here could see the new me.  Those dark sad journals it's hard to believe that was me.  I will keep visiting this site I owe my new life to all the people that helped me.  You guys are the best!!!
