FANTASTIC. Congratulations. In 6 days I'll be 2 years sober, 7 days 10 months no crack, Haven't drank coffee with an S-load of sugar since May 22nd and and no cigarettes for 29 days. All I can say at this time is I have learned how to suffer. Most of the time I'm miserable and angry. 2 good things are my health is better and so is my financial situation. I was more miserable and angry during the 42 years I was using. So now I have to learn how to cope with anger. My hope is you give up using at a young age. Lots of help here on SR.
Absolutely correct. I had to learn how to suffer, I had to learn how to work, I had to learn how to change. I had to learn to be grateful, I had to learn to ask for help, I had to learn that there is a Power greater than me and that Power will help me if I humbly ask.
None of the above is a "done deal"... they are a work in progress.
Thank you for the great reminder of the truth.
All the best.
