30 days and feeling better

This is all really new stuff to me....yesterday I had 30 days. I never thought I could live my life w/out heroin & pain meds....I never overdosed or anything, but I'm sure I was close to death more than i knew. I really like the AA/NA program. There is a ton of meetings here in Chicago and the surrounding areas. I entered a methadone clinic on Sep. 21st, and went there every day for the next 3 weeks. Then I made the switch to Suboxone, a new more less-addictive form of opiate-dependcy medication. I it's very hard to obtain, and I'm blessed to have found a doctor who understands the serverity of my addcition. I have not used any illegal drugs (or alcohol) since the day I went to the methadone clinic. It's nice to be able to come here and talk openly and honestly about this. I've never had such a strong will to live freely and be happy as I do now!! :

Hi GoPhish, and welcome to SoberRecovery!
We do recover!
I put every poison I could in my body for thirty years.
AA and NA is where I ended up. I'm glad I did.
And I'm glad you're here.
