WAY TO GO Fallingtogether...day 10 done on with day 11...so happy for you. It is a great feeling and you too should be so proud. Happy you posted...happy you are here.

Johnnyoneday.....shout your heart out....72 days you rock....big time. I am shouting and yes it feel friggin great. I can't wait to get to where you are...and I will. Because I can do this...we all can...one day at a time and together. It still amazes me how we understand each other. I kept my shameful secret for so long thinking no one was like me. well it helps knowing I am not alone. Good night all and have a great sleep wherever you are . hugs

Goodnight!! I hear the all around Joy in your voice, and like I said earlier it's very uplifting. You're really truly helping a lot of people out with your upbeat typing. There's a lot of people still suffering in withdrawl reading your posts tonight, that you're giving strength to. Keep it up, and we all expect to hear from you soon. Goodnight once again hun

15 days. Still have my moments but for the most part it's gotten easier and within only two weeks has come an incredible amount of clarity.

I love your enthusiasm cause I too am an enthusiastic grateful woman. Lots of days (19 months-worth and change) but the only one that matters is....

TODAY! I WOKE UP SOBER AND I'M GOING TO GO TO BED SOBER! WOOT!

One of the Gifts of Recovery for me is that I get a fresh start every, single morning to have a good day, to try, to ask for help, to work, to play, to share, to help....it's wonderful.

Keep up the awesome work!

I'm on day 8 and feeling terrific! I had a fantastic meeting with a substance abuse counselor yesterday and I am going to do it this time. I have plans today, tomorrow, and for the next month revolving around enjoying being sober and picking up new (good) habits like yoga, getting myself back in shape, cleaning and tidying my house....

I'm rambling. Thank you to everyone who helped me out just over a week ago when I was freaking out over withdrawals.

You should be stoked...22 days is amazing. Day 1 sucks but it is where it all started. Way to work it young....I am proud of you.
