Glad I said NO

[Hope]

Someone offered me some coke today and I said no. I've been working so hard on myself and I didn't want to go back. I haven't really even been craving that junk lately but my mind took off for a minute before I played that tape all the way through to the end. I got myself out of that situation.

So now he ran out of drugs and he is coming down and feels like crap. I'm so glad that is not me tonight. I didn't waste my day and glad to be doing the right things. Grateful for my sobriety.

I remember how it felt to be up all night wasted and then feel like crap when morning comes and those birds are chirping... and being totally broke and disgusted with myself.

I shudder to even think about that !!!

Improvements in my life have been slow but at least I know that I'm on the right track.

Congrats Hope4life!! That is awesome. Hopefully, one day, I'll have the same willpower to stay strong and quit taking Lortab.

You didnt give in. Too bad you still are around people who are using that stuff.

thank you for sharing that with us........i'm VERY glad that you played the tape ALL the way thru......these dang addict brains like to cut the movie short before getting to the final credits..........right before things get ugly, and the misery sets in. sounds like a good person to avoid in the future!!!! way to go.....

Thanks for sticking around and for the HOPE. I too hated those damned birds and the purple sky, the shakes and paranoia- but the insanity kept coming back. With summertime upon us, it feels like time to get out and 'party' and use. But I know exactly where that will lead me.

Be strong. Have Faith.
