February 2017 Getting/Staying Clean/Sober Thread v. Sweethearts and Party Beads

Yep an absolutely crazy 2 weeks i've just gone through - to having a mini-OD on heroin and waking up choking on my puke then spending the rest of the day puking and the next 7 days in cold turkey withdrawals. Then benzo withdrawals.
Then throwing myself (almost literately) into an outpatient rehab, actually shutting up and accepting help, going to a billion different therapy sessions. Getting back into Buddhism and my vipassana-metta-mindfulness meditation, deciding today to go to India-Nepal-Sri Lanka for 2 years with my wife once I get off the benzos (opiates and everything else are gone for good - 2 weeks today and counting :)) hopefully by late summer, cutting my mega beard and hair for charity in a couple of weeks, taking up running, buying a punchbag and boxing gloves, getting back into painting, dabbling with the idea of going vegetarian.....This whole being straight-edge thing isn't so bad.

2 weeks sober (benzos aside which I am tapering) :) Feeling positive as I have a life to look forward to now. Had some really hard days but that is life.

Congrats to all of you and ENJOY being clean and what it can give you!
