Congratz on being clean!!!!!

Yup. I got kind of twisted for a while, depression because marriage sucked, deep depression when we divorced. I self medicated to keep numb. Haven't touched anything for a while and feel great. Congratulations mandingo. Keep up the good work!

all i do is puff ganja. I have to quit for random job testing in a few weeks. I'm glad
i have no choice but to quit, sick of this habit

though it is fun

I'm sooo proud of anyone who has ever battled and overcome a drug addiction. Gives me tingles. lol

 

[theoak01]

I was slowly slipping into that,coke,shrooms,E,booze,but I recognized the problem and hope to get it under control and stop self medicating

14 months clean. I've been abusing alcohol and drugs for 15 years. Life is way better clean.

Nice to know I'm not alone, thanks for responses

 

[Teamarie]

i have been sober fjorm drugs and alcohol for almost three years thanks to the help of Alcoholics Anonoymous! Anyone else in the program or have tried the program??

 

[fcfmuaythai]

I'm in the program. I celebrated 2 years on July 13th. The program works if it is allowed to, but many people don't want it badly enough their first time around. I'm sponsoring a guy now that is in that situation. but the seed has been planted...

I work the program daily, and my quality of life has increased dramatically. congrats to anyone else who has struggled with addiction and is at least trying to stay clean.

Respect and congratulations to all you guys staying straight. I'll have 4 years next month. I fucked with meth the last two years of hs, and got seriously geeked up my senior year.

Around here we called ourselves "shartards", as in shards that make you act retarded. I've heard only H is harder to kick than that shit. I still go to NA every Thursday night.

Congrats to all.

Keep up the good work and here's to another 24.(at least 2 of which is in the gym).

One day at a time.
As tough (or as corny) as that sounds, it works.
Keep up the good work.

damn right, just take it one day at a time. It took me months before even the idea of going a week clean seemed possible.


Teamarie, I sent you a karma message to stay strong, but I realized since you're so new you might not have seen it. By clicking on my screen name you can select the function to PM me if you like. Use your supports girl, keep yourself busy, and dont let a stumble take you down!

You can do it. I had to cut all of my "friends" off because they were trying to get me out, always putting shit in my face, etc. I slipped up for about a month and a half in May/ June. Just a huge booze/ blow bender. My body still feels like it's trying to get back to normal. Been good since the beginning of July. Haven't had any cravings either.

That shit's evil.

 

[HERPECIN]

I havent drank alcohol in 4-5 years

and never looked more shredded


oh and I still am currently taking the pot

 

[Phaded]

wow never knew so many peeps did coke.. fun stuff.. i dont really have an addiction because i only get fucked up maybe once a month.. but when i do i get retarded coke/booze.. hopefully ill mature soon and drink only beer.. congrats to everyone for kicking the habits..

I'm going on 10 months sober and can vouch for AA. It helps to see that other "normal" people (if there's such a thing as normal ) go to meetings and deal w/ their problems. Life in general has been so much better since self-medicating is over!

Teamarie,
I agree with Rottenwillow.
PM me anytime.
Support is always good.
