song is helping

So i have found a song that is getting me through the hard times. i had 7 days off vics (taking 90 pills in a within 2 weeks) and was feeling pretty good when i found my self with another 90 grrrrrrrrr!!!!
now i am back to detoxing friday i had 2 vics and saturday i took a couple of 2mg dilutted. Suday no pills at all, i felt good, today is a little rough but not bad. this song i have played so many times within the last 2 days and it keeps giving me strength.
i hope you all don't mind reading some of the lyrics as i think it has been helpful and hope it may help someone else.

the band is sugarland----settlin

i've been leaving it up to fate
it's my life so it's mine to make\
i ain't settlin for just getting by i'v had enough so-so for the rest of my life
tired of shooting to low
so raise the bar high
"just enough" ain't enough this time.
i ain't settlin for anthing less then everything!!!!

if you want to hear the whole song you can type in sugarlad and find the lyrics and song

i have read so many post that also has keep my mind from going insane and you all have make my road to recovery seem possiable. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I'm so proud of myself.  I mean day 7.  I haven't gone this long without a pil in over 3 years.  This site is a god send and so is AA.  I called someone today just to talk and it helps.  I talk better than I type.  You can do it.  We all can.

All I've been doing is listening to music.  That is an awesome song.  There's a verse out the Mary J Blige song, No More Drama and it says.....

I don’t know
Only god knows where the story ends for me
But I know where the story begins
It’s up to us to choose
Whether we win or lose
And I choose to win

I love that.  Thanks for all ur support.  I'm at day 7.
