2 Years ... What a long strange trip it's been
Today marks the 2 year anniversary of the first day of the rest of my life. There have been many ups and downs but I never regret the decision to get clean.
At the end of a long Oxycodone addiction I was wasting hundreds of dollars a day on pills and in the end crack too. I wasted so much money that I inherited, money I was going to use to fix up my house.
I have never really cared for drinking even though I did do a lot of it in my younger years. I don't know how long I have been sober, it's been a lot longer than 2 years. There has been a few times where the AV tried to get me to drink when times were stressful but I know that either drinking will turn into my new addiction or drinking will lead me back to drug use. I refuse to be a slave to the AV.
I got clean days before joining SR but I do know that without the help and support of everyone here that I would not be celebrating this day today. My life is far from "normal" but I know it would be much worse if I wasn't clean and sober. It took years to did these holes so it's going to take time to fill them in.
I want to thank all of you here for your continuing help, advice and support.
For those struggling and early in recovery I want to tell you to stay strong and not give up and take all the help you can get. We are all heading for the same destination but, we must all discover our own path. It's a hard journey but well worth it.
Have a great day everyone.
