My Acceptance.
Hello all, I am currently sitting down enjoying time with my family after a day of reflection. I am 22 years old, and have been to treatment 2 times, been involved in NA for 3 years, and I was clean for 6 months (just about) at my longest duration. Today, I am ready to put a footstep behind me, in the right direction. Once again. I currently have been actively using for 1 year, but tomorrow will be my first day with no substance in me. However, it won't be completely cold turkey, because today was my final dose of a detox medication that I otherwise never use. So I will for the most part be on day 3. I've done this before, and I've done it cold turkey as well. So I somewhat expect not to feel like complete "poo" lol. I had quite the shift in mood today, as my intention to take my life back has always been there, but today this surreal acceptance fell over me, and I'm not going to go into detail (as to avoid triggering anyone in the community.) Just wanted to have a forum to talk to, and occasionally report to during work tomorrow (which still frightens me, even with my prior knowledge of how my body will feel.) I'm ready to start this journey. Thank you all for your time.

Whatever acceptance or insight you experienced sounds encouraging. And no, you don't have to go into detail unless you want to. I know about those experiences. They can be over anything and about anything, but they always have that common thread of being personally meaningful to the person that has them, and can't remember one that didn't lead me to a better place.
