Today marks five years of no opiates or benzo abuse. Big milestone for me. I slipped onto alcohol but its been 78 days off alcohol and smoking tobacco. 52 days off everything.
Pretty happy about all this.
Aug 25 will be 9 months for me! good luck to everybody

Never sick..awesome at 5 years no opiates. I'm struggling right now and lowering and getting off at low dose compared to what I've been taking in the next two days. Worst part over the weekend and back to work Monday. Just have to suck it up and do it. Anyway this thread is about u bud! Great job and no worries about the alcohol or smokes. U r good and clean now and doing great. Isn't life awesome sober. I know when I've been clean for a few months I've noticing things I never noticed when high. Keep it up!!!

NSA is still my hero
Oy, what a day. Had the day off so I scheduled my CPR refresher at the Red Cross which was my last remaining requirement to finish my safety/rescue diver certification and get a call on the way home from a friend still struggling with addiction. She tried to go to work while in withdrawal and something happened so she was taken to urgent care and was told at urgent care that she needed to be admitted to a hospital and asked me to take her from urgent care to the hospital so she didn't have a big fat ambulance bill. I told her that I had an appointment with the trainer at the gym and would be late but I would willingly take her because just about everyone had written me off as good as dead and as long as she is breathing and has a heartbeat I don't want to write anyone off because I know how that feels. But at the same time, I tried to impress upon her as strongly as I could and remain diplomatic that trying to resume your regularly scheduled life minus alcohol (or drugs) DOESN'T WORK. She is like I was, a frequent flyer in treatment centers. I'm sure she knows this. She's not dumb, by a long shot. Highly educated, actually. But knowing and doing are two separate things.
I wish she'd listen to the one that says, "Gee, my tolerance for alcohol seems to be on par with John Bonham's. Maybe if I don't want to go the way of John Bonham, I should make some fundamental changes in the way I live."It's just a matter or learning which voices to listen to
