Stopdropburn

I am very grateful and thankful that I have made it to two full weeks of abstaining from my DOC, and I will see my children tonight - for the weekend - and will be able to celebrate with them. They will not know "Dad is so happy today because he isn't on drugs", but they will know Dad is happy, and that I'm fun, and THAT is the most important feeling in my life. This is not an easy road, recovery is not a simple overnight thing to handle - But no part of addiction is easy...not the onset of addiction or admitting that you are a "user/junkie", the hunt and chase for the drugs, the hunt and chase for dealers, the hunt and chase for "that high", the money lost, the family and friends betrayed, the rock bottom crash, the desperation and finally when you realize how little life you live, the quitting - the withdrawal - and the recovery......it is the longest, hardest journey of my life.....And I am thankful that I was around to have the chance to beat this and fix my life. This is the longest I've gone without opiates in all the years I've been using, and each day I will tell myself "This is the longest I've ever gone", because it makes me look forward to the day after that, and the day after that.
