Pat on the Back Needed

Tonight, against my better judgement, I met a guy I've been talking to for ages on facebook.....

Thought he seemed a bit slow, but it twigged he was on something. I was winding the conversation down to make a retreat, when he tried to hand me some pills. :/

I said thanks but no, and handed them back.

I don't know where I found the willpower from...... I've been tense and anxious all night.

so very true. I'm going at saying no once or twice, but sooner or later I cave. That is why I'm where I'm at now.

Good for you!! There are some people I found it really hard to consistently say "no" to, one being my XABF#3. I had to cut all ties from him and the others. He actually died in a crack house, so it was a good reminder of where I COULD be if I ever went back to that life.

Though there are crack dealers all over Atlanta, I don't know any personally, and the rare times someone has approached me, I just say "nah, I'm straight" with a smile and walk off

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Amazing!!!!

Be proud. Today I'm 31 days off pills. I turned some pills down about a week ago and stared crying...because I was SO proud of myself....as you should be

Good job and God Bless

littlelostbez,
You are on a road that will take you to wonderful places! It's so easy to stray off that path but if you stick with it, your rewards will be GREAT!
I'm so incredibly proud of you. Don't give into defeat because you know more than I do that you are strong, powerful, and.... Wonderful!

Last week my drunk BF offered me pills, the one's I was hooked on. I looked at them, they were in my hand, and knew that I wanted to live clean more that I wanted to go back to that.

I am not sure what living clean will ultimately look and feel like, but I want it.

Looks like you and I are headed there together.
