I DID IT - Follow up to "I'm struggling"

Shortly after I posted my thoughts and feelings on SR .. it was like the chains had been broken ... like I was no longer a prisoner inside myself .. struggling alone .. my struggle was out in the open. I read some of the responses from my wonderful friends here on the forum and the storm stopped raging, the clouds opened up, the sun began to shine, your love burst forth and found its way into my heart. The darkness fleed ....

I stood up, walked into the room .. opened up the bottle.. took the vicodine out ... power walked to the bathroom.. tossed it in the toilet and flushed it!!!

The rest of the evening I spent laughing with, talking to, being silly with my kids. I was FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and on top of the world.
Thanks be to my HP= God and to my Friends here on SR.

You helped this addict stay clean another day.
Thank you .. Thank you .. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

As I read even more post this morning tears began to fall ... I feel so very loved and cared for.
I am blessed to have you all as my friends as well as grateful.

Again, I thank you all :ghug2

Still clean

I was all alone in the pit of darkness. Until I cried out to my God and my friends. It was at that moment that my HP sent his angels to reach their hands down to me. Each word that my friends here on SR typed were like steps. I walked up (one at a time) holding on to the all the hands to steady myself. I reached the top and dropped to the ground, exhausted, but so grateful for the love and support from my SR family. Today I am resting in all the love, care and concern and feeling so very blessed.

Yipee for you for working through those thoughts, and for the big flush.
That flush had to feel sooooo good.... and I'm glad you went on to do silly things with your kids...

Thank you God!!

Hugs,
Colleen

Passion -

I knew that as soon as you told on yourself that you would be fine! Yea You!!!!!! I'm proud of you for flushing. Next time I am faltering I will pull this experience out that you had and remember how and what you did. I really appreciate your sharing that. I struggle at times and I know that I am not alone. The only time that I really need to worry is when I stay caught up in my own head. I'm so glad that you felt the freedom and peace afterwards. It is a cunning, baffling, and ever patient disease. Dang it!

Love, Donna
