15!
Good morning my friends, hope you are all doing well. Just got back from my morning walk, earlier than ever today! 
Had a thought to share. I have been spoiled and allowed to have my way in too many areas for many yrs. In the past it was abuse. Til I found the right man. So, long story short, I've always seemed to be one of those that needed to be directed on what would be best for me. But never took to direction much. Until now! I now follow my own rules that are written down, every morning I make myself do these few items. It's just over 2 weeks of clean time and have never felt better. Yesterday was my best ever! Just got a lot of house cleaning done that I had neglected for too long. I did get myself a starbucks and that was delicious! lol! So today the grama comes for our daughters h.s. graduation. ) Proud mama here. Anway I think as addicts we all need more routine and structure in our lives to keeep us from running idle too long. God knows I did far too long. My husband and I now plan each day together and it has been wonderful. He is and always has been a huge support to me trying to get clean. Well I said it before and I'll say it again! Mind over matter! I did hit my rock bottom and I'm never going back. In AA and such they advise never say never. Well this is my decision and I'm stickin' to it. [I]s something I tell myself daily, I will never take another opiate! Ever! It has robbed me and by God I won't let it do that anymore. I've always been my own worst enemy, not anymore. Good luck to you all my friends, hang in there and remember..ONE DAY AT A TIME, ONE MOMENT AT A TIME. This has gotten me 1 day over 2 weeks. Whew! It hasn't been easy but isn't that the point?! Love~
Oh anyone know how I can see if I get feedback from my posts?

Congratulations.
We were just talking about being disciplined in AA tonight. You have to structure and discipline your life & your thoughts. I think that is where people struggle because alcohol is such a large part of our lives...but once you do things over and over on a daily basis it does become commonplace. Now to me sitting in a bar or buying booze would seem largely out of character and I would feel very uncomfortable doing either.
Glad to hear you are feeling good. Keep going...

15 days and truckin' down that sober path! Heck ya keep on rolling!
I gotta laugh a little bit here though lol.
You said something to the effect of "Any way I can check the replies on this post" hahahaha weeeeelllllllll. If you don't know how to do that, you will never see this. So commenting on HOW to check the replies is almost an oxymoron lol. But I do hope you figure it out!
