Day 7 and still Clean.

[Oxykicker]

Hi all, feel a bit wishy washy at the moment, but at least the sleepers gave me 7 whole blissful hours kip, thought I'd never sleep again.

Yesterday at around 4pm, driving along and on the radio that old Johnny Nash song, I think I'ts called 'I can see clearly now' came on, well I whacked it up full volume and the tears flowed, the words just seemed to sum up this whole forum, what do you think to having it as our signiture tune, I am going to hunt down that tune today, and when I feel a bit low, give it full blast, let me know how good life is now and how bad it was on those ******* demon pills.

OH Oxy, I know exactly what you mean.....the tears are like rivers flowing from our little eyes......the emotions are so .....sooo...so.....i don't even know the word.  I can't believe what this is doing to us.  I just got a call from my new drug counselor (apparently I have one-was referred to me, didn't know)...very insightful...

There are two songs in my most ecclectic repetoire that I came across this week about the ills of having a relationship with having drugs, in one, and about being off, in the second.  These are:  Girl on LSD by Tom Petty    and Salvation by The Cranberries.

They speak volumes in their own ways....if anyone's interested.

I generally keep the up tempo music on now, as long as I'm dancin', I ain't bitchin'.

CONGRATS ON DAY 7!!!

That is AWESOME!!!

You should be PROUD of yourself!

That's funny this came up because I was just thinking the same thing last night. I loaded up my ipod that I got at xmas for crying out loud. Music is really helping me get through this. One of my favs at the moment is Social Distortion-I was wrong..so fits me.

[Jacqui805]

Music has largely been my second "drug" of choice behind the first, this forum, for getting my butt through this.  Certain songs, make me cry, but in a good way, much like you're saying, and others just amp up my mood.  I'm so glad you're doing better.  It may be a bit of a roller coaster right now, but you're heading for the light my friend, keep it up!

I was just having the discussion with a friend of mine that I do not even listen to music anymore - and I love music.

Most appropriate tune.

Cathy you are one hell of a human being, you make me feel great, bit of an update for you, today have called a friend and we went walking round some fishing lakes, all the buds were on the way out, the sun was a shining and apart from a few sweats and shivers, plus the usual aches and pains it was awsome, as for the music, well imagine Nivana at level 30 and me singing along at the top of my voice, not pretty eh, but hell I enjoyed it.

Have an awsome day Cathy..........David xx.

HI david wow I heard that song on my way to see my fiancee and the tears just flowed.  It felt so good to be happy again after so long.  And now the sun is shining in my life, I have everything to live for a wonderful guy who supports me, he has been here all along wish I had told him long ago.  And a whole new family to watch grow.  I love my family still but with them gone, I am blessed to find another one who loves me unconditionally.
So stay strong it does get better.  Keep posting.

It's like I forgot all about music while using.  It's great when it comes back and makes you feel so good.  That and laughing again are great.  Stay strong and keep going.
