well it has been 8 unreal weeks of being clean. Not one bong, not one drink. I cannot believe it. After 15 years of daily bongs it feels great to wake up and not head straight for the bowl to chop up.
I went to a music festival on the Easter weekend. I was really worried as i felt like i was going to be an angry bi$*h. Pissed off with everyone around me who could use. (including my partner).
A friend decided to come with me and also stay straight. It made the world of difference. We had a great time. I realised that i didn't have to be out of it to enjoy myself. We watched a few bands and had a dance. We got right down the frount for Martha Wainright and she was great. The highlight was when Donovan Frankenriter invited Michael Franti on stage. We were right down the frount and it was awesome. Im so gald i went.
WW said something about not being as paranoid when she went to a festival straight. I took that on board and thought of her often throughout the day. And she was right. I danced and sang and jumped around without caring about what anyone thought of me. I was there to enjoy the music and i did.
I could smell pot everywhere as joints were being passed all around me but i didn't feel the pull of a toke as i used to. I was happy for the people that wanted to smoke as it's their choice but i was even happier that i made it through without needing it at all.
As we drove home a massive storm hit and i was so glad that i didn't have to drive it stoned. The next morning i picked my kids up and i didn't feel like crap as i usually would have after a night of drugging and drinking.
I had a really tough week last week as i really wanted to smoke. I glad i toughed it out as it has passed now and i have made it to 8 weeks.
well done Cajun lady and Bubba J on 90 days. Such a huge thing. You two were a real inspiration for me to quit. Now im going well and soon i'll be saying 90 days. One day at a time, sometimes one minute at a time but im getting there.
Love and hugs to you all.
What a lovely story !!!!! Yes, good job !!!!! So proud of you and your awareness is awesome....and then noticing the benefits on the day after ! That's faulous! Hold on to all that positive stuff, Shark Girl.....it'll get you through the urges....
keep on dancing ;-) it keeps you young.....
Lately, I'm all about singing, a 1986 tune keeps playing in my head, "Don't Dream it's Over." by Crowded House. Every once in awhile some old tune gets stuck on repeat in my brain and I didn't even hear it on the radio....weird eh ?
My ten year old told me me I should get a singer job because I sing so much....LOL

congratson 8 weeks. good for you. felt good to know that bubba j and i kind of inspired you to get clean. and now you are inspiring others to do the same. kind of cool, huh. sometimes i wish we lived in a bigger town where there were meetings to go to. there are some meetings here in our town, but dont really feel comfortable going because small towns are so bad about gossip. but as a whole, i like small town living. especially for my kids.
keep up the good work. wont be long and you will be hitting 90 days. i am very proud of you. have a great day.
