24 hours in.. Please help

I know right? This winter is going to be kind of cold when I use the restroom ha-ha. Sooooo guys. Yes I am still sober. But guess what I purchased yesterday with my "I don't buy drugs, screw the high life, the sober is more rewarding fund"????

I have also re-enrolled into college to attempt my bachelors degree in information technology. Part time. Got me a really good factory job at a company called whirlpool making $15.00 an hour, immediate 7 days vacation, 3 days personal and health insurance the day I started. All thanks to quitting drugs I was able to pass my first piss test in years. I owe it not all to myself but to you guys too. My life is looking better and better everyday. Oh, oh AND the SEX!!!!! SO MUCH BETTER!!! haha
 
Really proud of you and happy to hear the fantastic news. This is huge and you put a smile on my face.

You're going to leave drugs behind here man and start a new life. No need to look back if that's not what's on your plate at the moment. Just be vigilant. Some days it'll seem like you've taken steps backward. No need to beat yourself up, just pay attention to what triggered it. Life will still trigger you but in different ways. It'll be less and less about drug use and more and more about the obstacles to living a fulfilling life and being what you were meant to be. Won't that be nice for a change. Trust me, you'll love being all that you are. Whatever it is you did it worked! Beautiful thing is your struggle and the overcoming of it is a skill that'll carry over to the rest of life. Keep it up.
 
Congrats little!!!
love your car, but love your attitude even more. You have so much strength and a goal and you are going to be great. I love what levels beyond said about life still having challenges but they will be different, life challenges. I hope you will keep us informed of your recovery and your journey. You give me great hope.
 
You are awesome. Seriously. If I was yr fiancé I'd be so proud of you. Its a hard road. I've gone down it more than 15x...sense I was 14. I'm 31 now. I recently broke down and went to a 7day methadone detox while living in Florida...I've been sober sense Feb 7. But I wanna say...all alone..yr a magical man!!! Congrats!!!
 
Thank you guys so much for all of the great words. I am still clean as can be. Haven't touched even alcohol. Life is getting better every single day. I went through some weird withdrawals I think yesterday. Just really weak and annoyed at everything. Today seems to be better. Monday I ended up in the hospital. They brought me in a shot of dilaudid and I turned it down. Let me repeat that lol. I TURNED IT DOWN. And asked for toradol. I felt great. I read this thread every single day. I may even blog about it on my blog. Just to give others insight on how much better life is after. You guys are like my best friends. Best friends I've never met! I wish nothing but greatness for each and every one of you! I won't ever forget about any of you. And I'll keep coming back to stay in touch and just to let everybody know how I am doing.
 
Hey little
i am always so glad when you update your story. You are such a good example of how this works when you actually do it
hows the new job going?
 
I must leave a comment so I can find this thread again. The only difference between me and you is i took norco every day and I just swallowed mine. I have been reading this thread all day. Oh my gosh, thank you for posting this. Very helpful and comforting. Tomorrow is my day to start one 7.5 a day. I have fifteen pills left. Geez Louise. I'm a nervous wreck

Thank you. I keep coming to this littles thread to read the stories about life on "the other side" I think I'm going to be okay. I don't think it will be easy but I've only had one hiccup during my taper. I've still got eight and half left. I'm going to church today. Getting out of this damn house and going to a place where I will be surrounded by people that love me, have stood by me through all my years of brain surgeries and lift me up not drag me down. There is something so comforting about the ritual of church. I used to go every Sunday and Wednesday. The farther I slipped into this darkness the less I went to church. No excuses today. Putting on make up right now. It's been eons since I even did that! Good day to you all and way to go on your ability to find sobriety! I will be on your side soon
