I'm gonna make it
I posted here a while back. At the time I was getting over a herion addiction. I think september was the last time I used it. After that I was clean maybe 2 weeks before I relapsed on methadone, oxicodone, or whatever opiate I could get ahold of. That was until march 10. I got lucky and got arrested for a ticket I forgot about. After a few days of the physical withdrawals in jail, I made a promise to myself and God that this would be my last time. I know its not as easy as i made that sound. The mental addiction is harder for me to kick than the physical. I got released from jail the 21st. So far I have deleted every phone number of anyone I ever bought pills from and anyone that I bought pills with. This is the first time ive quit that i am confident in myself. Im at the point where I know ive got to get away or my life will just keep getting worse. Im 2 weeks clean now and I still feel that i will never go back to that life again. I know there is a chance that i will screw up. Nobodys perfect. Sorry for the long post. I just had to get it off my chest. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers. Good luck to everyone else on here too. Thank you for letting me share.

Congrats!!! Just stay strong, you have two weeks under your belt and the rest of your life to enjoy the new you! mental addiction is hard. Continue seeking active support. And very smart to delete all the numbers of those who hold you down and will never hold you up.

It's a fantastic thing you're doing Nick, and I know how hard it is. Be careful of isolating yourself. That really gives the opportunity for the mind to go in to overdrive.
Congratulations!
