Thanks guys , it has been a struggle at times but being clean makes for a much more managable life.

No more getting loaded only to have to suffer later in so many ways. Not just getting sick but the mental stuff and the emothional stuff and on and on.

thanks again

...Joe

WAY TO GO JOE!!

I know you've worked very hard to get where you are today! We've lost touch over the past few months due to one of those nasty, four letter words, j-o-b-s. I'm gonna make it a point to never let that happen again.

Enjoy your day by doing something just for you!

Love ya my friend,
Judy

Thanks again for your wonderful support you guys!
I went kicking and screaming into recovery as they say, and still am in my own way.

I'm still very rigid concerning change (its hard to break the habit of using for stress etc)
but I'm slowly learning and accepting that I have a problem with dope.

Congrats Joe!!! You might not know this but you played a big part in me finding recovery and helped me realize I wasnt unique or alone. Thanks for that.

oh gee thanks again you guys. We aren't alone in this we have each other....thank God.

I've had a very rough last two weeks with stress. I feel completely beaten down, almost to the point of tears.

I prayed today........... God... take my will and my life,guide me in my recovery,show me how to live.......clean!

That was a hard prayer to say because I want to say screw it and use ..... bad!

I am thankful that I can get encouragement and support here on sr.
I'd be screwed without you guys.

I can fly on my own for awhile sometimes, but not now.
