FINALLY! More then two months!
I have been trying for years to get two months clean and even as i type the words tears fill my eyes. Im at 11 weeks and I amd thankful every day.
I am...WAS an IV drug user, eaten up by the meth disease. After I started using the needle, The cravings were intolerable. I couldnt stop them, or myself. As I think of the last few months and my pleas with God to take away my cravings I am so so grateful that he has lifted that burden and I have not used...or drank. I jsut want to share my graditute and excitement and say even when you keep falling you have to keep getting back up. You cant give up. I'm 26 years old and I have been using that poison since I was 12 years old, thats half of my life already I never thought it would take me down this road, that i would continue using this long and I have to make a choice...or die!

SaraMichelle, you don't feel this way inside, but you are a success story and an inspiration to all of us who struggle or have struggled with our addictions. Congratulations to you and thanks for letting us know that folks make that decision all the time to stop this insanity.
That excitement and exhilaration you are feeling right now is better than any rush from using, isn't it?

Congratulations Sara!
I too am 11 weeks sober this weekend. I feel like I am finally begining to crawl out of the hole I drank myself into.
AA and the people in the rooms have been of enormous help to me. I don't think I could have got this far without their help and support.
All the best for the future!
