Had a dine and dasher tonight...but oddly enough my resentment passed quickly

I would always dwell on things like that....all the god why me's

Sobriety rocks...I just said serenity prayer and accepted it

I was eating some nut & berry mix (like trail mix) earlier at work. I don't know what the hell caused it, but I got the exact taste in my mouth from when I used to do my DOC :\. It caused a strong craving & felt bad man. Fortunately that's all passed now.
 
Hey all.
Still here. Had some clouds lift hopefully for a minute. I've been close to getting high. My moods ebb and flow but i just keep holing on.
Just wanting to smoke weed lately but that's where it starts. Had the dreams about using and what not. But this is life and death and I'm not doing it.

Hey, I'm the same way. Start with a joint or a beer with friends and it slowly gets worse until shit hits the fan again. Well done not giving in and getting high.

How did I not discover sooner that video games are a perfect distraction lol.

Hope everyone had an awesome day <3

Yeah! Me too. It's almost similar to the rush and quick instant stimulation you get from drugs albeit on a much less and safer level.

I find them very helpful for distraction as long as I don't play too much haha.

Overall, I'm doing ok. I think I've finally accepted that I am powerless. Pretty excited about that. I've stopped lying to myself.
 
I will join the club too, if it is not too late. Day 5, WD, first attempt, starting to feel a bit better. Worried about the future, and wishing I could change my past. But for the first time in ten years, I can say I have been clean for five days, which is a start.
 
Congrats on 5 days, feelOld!

Don't worry too much about the future, or past, I don't think they really exist. ;)

Just getting off drugs is HUGE, so much so that you probably don't even yet know.

Hang in there, everybody! Good thoughts!

Congrats on 5 days! For the first time in ten years, I say that's a pretty big damn achievement.
 
^^ Five days is fucking phenomenal. Keep it up bro! :)



I've got around 73 days now myself. It's awesome. I keep going to meetings every day, making new friends in the fellowship and my life just keeps coming together.

I've got a fucking job interview this week! Me! a Fucking job interview!

I'm stoked. :)
 
Congrats on the job interview, caseface! I'm sure you'll do great <3

and congrats on 5 days too feelOld, that's def an accomplishment <3
 
Thanks all for the support. Yesterday I felt worse, but today I feel better. Now at day 7! I just keep reading these comments and I do not want to be in this place in another ten years. Isn't it amazing how fast time can pass when we numb ourselves? I do appreciate the words of support.
 
haha yeah, time does fly when you're wasting it. And then it feels longer when you finally stop. I'm still on the fence as to whether that's a good thing or not myself, lol.

And congrats again on 7 days now, a week is a big deal <3 <3
 
july 2012 was last time I smoked crack and took benzo's.
in 24 hours my life turned from good to utter hell.
I only smoked crack because I was on subs and heroin didnt work.
replacement therapy.lol.

it took time for the crack obsession to lift after all.
fuck that shit.
never again.
 
im now 4 months and some change clean from methadone, herion and suboxone. My life is the same as it was before, during, and after however. Makes me feel better about my use, though still left with problems I cant seem to solve.
 
WOW.. nice work everyone.. pretty amazing stuff=D..

I got all butt hurt yesterday for a second and slipped out of today and ended up thinking of having some drinks.. but i worked my way back into today and addressed the issues and woke up feeling great and today has went really well so far.

Havent posted in this forum yet. But im happy too. For the past 8 years ive been addicted/dependent on opiates of all kinds, primarily prescription and bupe. But im so fucking happy to say that today makes day number ten that ive been free from all opiates/oids. Like i literallly was driving and threw my hands up screaming im free as it hit me. Coming off bupe was not nearly as hard as i had thought, but it just had to happen. My source ran out, and i happend to have a week off work so i just kicked. I cant explain my exaltation, but im sure theres some posters here who understand.
stay strong everyone
 
Haha I know exactly what you mean... it's a good feeling huh? :D

Who knew you could feel high without drugs right?!

112 Days clean from everything but ciggs/coffee. I really want to quit cigs, I can do fine from like noon till I go to bed but I wake up the next morning with such intense cravings it's ridiculous. Really hating cigs right now.

You can switch to yerba mate to get off coffee, it even helps a bit with ciggs and it doesn't cause w/d itself. Although I'd get some kratom too maybe for the first few days of cig w/d
