as an afterthought the road to recovery is a long f***ing unpaved bumpy a** dirt road in the middle of nowhere, hope i can find some pavement. thanks none4me
You didnt get yourself in this mess overnight and it won't go away that fast either.

Happy Birthday. Hang in there brother.

Happy birthday! Hope you have many more while you clean!
I know its hard (boy do we all know!!), but stick it out. I am. I still don't know why I'm doing it, I just am. I'm almost waiting for something good to happen and we must just have faith that it will.
Stay strong brother and keep it up! You've had five miracles already!
love angie

Dear BA,
My birthday came this past summer after a few weeks of becoming clean. The love and support of the people on this board made that birthday all the more special. Take it slow and remember it is "one day at a time"..............
Happy 41...........God Bless, Russell

Hey bad,
Good to hear from ya'. Hang in there, and I'll look into some meetings for ya' in or around Gloucester County. The important thing once we're clean and sober is
to stay away from arms reach of a drink or drug. When we do get an obsession,
and it does happen, not to everyone but some from time to time, even with good time, thats when we really need to put into action the tools of recovery. Such as making a meeting and telling on our disease, or picking up the phone, reading, praying etc...Thats what they mean by 5 minutes from sucess, that obsession could be the last one we ever get. It won't be long and you'll be feeling good, just don't ever forget how you felt or feel now, cause you never have to feel that way again.
Take care......................................God bless.....................................Bob

Thankyou, that was sweet, oh! you meant Bad! lol just kidding....lol *wink*
It's nice to be best friends as well as husband and wife huh? I have a great relationship with my wife as well. So far we've made through every storm without
any doubt of the love we have for eachother. Thats not why I stay clean and sober but it sure is great motivation to keep on keepin' on.

Bob-
Close, but not close enough - it was a T not a G (Gina). Youre so funny. You always put a smile on my face. Gina is a lucky woman. I wish you and her all the best.
Love,
Marie

Bad attitude....happy birthday... Entertaining the thought is normal..just don't act on it. You have made it this far....just hang in there. I know these minutes seem like the longest, but have some birthday cake instead...lol...just please don't throw it at me.
Jokes aside...please hang on. I know those withdrawls suck, but maybe you should journal how you feel, and when you get better, and want to take just one, read how you feel right now. Because if you tough it out, I promise you will feel better.
happy sober birthday again,
kerry

Bad,
Happy B-Day !!! As bad as you feel now, dont give up. I have 43 days, and it does get better. It is a tough walk, but you can do it. The minutes turn into hours, hours into days--stay focused on today--dont worry about tomorrow. For the first 30 days I posted on this board everyday, and I did it for a reason, so that I could go back to it and read it when I needed to. I have read all my post many times, and I never want to go back and feel the way I did, the way I did when using, and the way I felt the first couple of days after I stopped.
I am starting to sleep at night, hell I am sleeping better now then when I was taking Vic's. I also attend meetings ( I was not a fan at first ) but I have to be honest and tell you I have met some of the kindest people in that room, people that are dealing with the same issue as me. I have started to really listen to what people share, and have shared a few times myself ( big step for me )...so please hang tough, you deserve it.
