In all of the "excitement" going on..I totally forgot until tonight. I have 6 months today.
I am so grateful today.
I am grateful for my life, my family and friends.
I am grateful for the people on this board who have helped, supported and loved me through some of the darkest hours and through the good times as well...
Thank you for being here..

You are such a wonderful example and role model! I'm so proud of you! I'm not only proud of your success, I'm proud to have you for a friend! Congradulations!! I wish I had more words to describe how valuable and important you are, but these will just have to do. You are just wonderful! I can't wait to see you tell us it's been a year....then two...and so on. And I just know you will. Thank you for being the person you are. Much love, Kat
Dear Cowgirl,
Congratulations on 6 months of clean time. I know you've said that you take away and learn so much more than you give; however, the wonderful, caring, and honest wisdom that you share with people on a daily basis makes you a true hero. And I know that I'm not the only one that feels that way.
Kudos, Cowgirl! And, through everything, thanks for always being a great mentor, a great friend, and most importantly, thanks for being you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I thought your 6-month anniversary was coming due....congratulations! You keep leading, I'll try to keep following on your heels. M.
How happy I am that my first CONGRATULATIONS on your 6 months would be to you Cowgirl!!!!! That long hard dirty road is worth it though huh? Did you think at the beginning that you would have ever made it this far or did you believe all along that you could do this????
Again...a very heartfelt congratulations girl!

Cowgirl,
I just wanted to say CONGRATS for the 6 Months!!!!!!!!!
You gotta be so so proud of yourself and you deserve to be.
I think it is wonderful that you do take the time to continue to post sharing your experience, STRENGTH and HOPE>.Thank You !!!
I am still a very sick struggling Addict, and although I am not where I want to be, Never Was...I can see that there is Hope and that I owe it to myself to get clean and live a real life in the real world..
There are a million reasons why I started using, all the feelings that go along with the abuse I had to endure in my life, both physically and mentally.Being young and having no support system at all, wether it be family, church,etc,I turned to the only thing I knew, or thought then would ease the pain and allow me not to feel the hurt..
I did manage to eventually Measure Up in just about everyones eyes, in most aspects of my life, Job, House, etc..Everything looked Great on the Outside, but by trying to be something or someone I thought I was suppose to be I lost myself.
Now that I no longer have to prove anything to anyone, I now have to prove something to the most important person in my life and that is ME!!!
They say that the best revenge is to do well.
Well I say it's about time I do it.
My Thanks for Everyone who has posted here..your honesty is a breath of fresh air in my life..
It's not over till it's over..
The hardest part for me will probably not be Stopping.
It will be to Stay Stopped..
Thank You.
Love and Hugs.

I AM NEW HERE. I WANT TO ASK WHAT WAS YOU TAKING AND HOW YOU CAME SO FAR
MMD.. I was (and always will be) addicted to pain pills. I wasn't picky but I liked percocet best.
I got this far because of the love and support of this board and I went head first into a 12 step recovery program and did what I was told. I go to NA meetings regularly, I have a sponsor and I'm starting to work the steps. They are hard and I battle them daily but I'm trying and won't stop until I die.
How are you tonight? What is your story?
