I have 18 months today....going to go do some H&I tonight...

WOOT WOOT 18 months and no dope....wouldn't have thought it was possible 2 years ago.

Why is it that no matter how many times I go do H&I, I still get nervous? I figure I'd be used to it by now.....

Cool!! 18 Months is Awesome!! H&I is right where you are supused to be right now. I just got back from doing my H&I Commitment, every 2 weeks in a detox. Grass roots, Carry the message that you never have to use again. Thats what Im talking about!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace,
Todd J.

and thank you for being here brad.

there is nothing special about me, I am not unique or different, if I can do this thing, you can do this thing. I fully believe that 1000% ANY addict can stop using, lose the desire to use and find a new way to live even a dirty twisted junky like me.
