Today is the 6th..8 months under the belt

just looked at the calender and realized it is my 8 month celebration day....was just talking with gtm and time does move on....always in recovery but the past and the addiction gets farther and farther away...is not the first thing i think of each day nor the last thing i think about at night....moving on...love the forum and will always post here...i used to be "addicted to the forum"  LOL  would spend hours here each day!...time moves on and i do check in but i do skip days ,..life is filled with family, friends, and positve things...just filled with living life again...and my thanx to all who helped me here...gtm, cathy, great greebo, eagle (my friend for life) toxictome, enemy, hopsing .these are those that were here when i first came here who reached out and connected with me...so many more have come and gone since... manda is an inspiratioon to me as well as she keeps on keeping on!

luck to all and thanks for the help u have all given to me

posting on this forum daily for at least 3 months is so important..meetings at least weekly for the first few months is important as well..thing is i think alot of people try to do this on their own...it is a lonely disease...we need each other to do this...support is the key...and try everything u can to put the ball in your court...exercise, the supps in the thomas recipe at the recommended doses, meetings, posting, and above all..never say you can not do this...always say u can...POSITIVE thinking is the way to go...u can do anything u set ur mind to do...setting a QUIT day be it for taper or CT ,flushing all left over pills/all!, sticking to ur QUIT day whether u cheat on ur taper or not and putting a barrier between yourself and the sources of where u got ur pills....call ur doctors, tell ur dealers, tell ur friends that use, cut off any refills at the pharmacy...mean business and u will do this....if i can anyone can!
