E-mail it to Terrianne she said she knows how to post it for you. If you have a photobucket account, just put it in there. Then right click on the picture to where you see properties, highlight the URL address and right click and copy. Then x out and when you get ready to post it click on image and paste the url # in the box. Then hit post! That should do it, like mine did. If not then e-mail it to Terri and she can post it,LOL It took me forever to figue it out to. Rae
I'm glad Bob posted this so now I have alot of you old timers here.
I came here a few months ago looking for help, I was at my wits end. I did not know if I could pick myself back up and try to quit these awful pills again. I had relapsed so many times, I never made it for long. My addict mind would take over, thinking I had it beat and just one would not hurt me. We all know where that got me.
I guess being at my wits end, I was ready to try anything. I got on the sub and started to listen. I mean really listen. Some things hurt, but the truth has a way of doing that. I even tried to walk away from this board cause my feelings got in the way. I started to take what applied and do something about it. I'm still trying to rewire my brain.
This board has balance for me. There is support, love and then the truth, which we can call tough love. Theres friendly bantor and pep talks. I needed them all. I still do.
So here I am, almost 3 months clean and 2 weeks off sub with a new way of thinking. I'm going to counseling and support groups, and yes even meetings. I have not spoke there yet, but I listen and it helps. The first few times were hard, but I kept going back because of what I had read here. To keep trying. So, thats all I can do, is keep trying.
All the other times I tried to quit, something just was not right, I guess you could say in the back of my head, I knew it would not be for long, I would eventually go back to using. I don't have that this time. I have hope in my heart. I see a future. I'm grateful for every day.
So thank you guys, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your time and patience.
Man, this got long, but I needed to say it
All the best

Teresa,
The post was meant for you and alot of people here with clean time. Its easy to sit and talk with my friends that used and say, "Man, this sucks, we really should quit" and pop another pill. (funny how those friends supported me in my decision to quit, but have not heard from them, just as well though) But its not so easy to take it from people that have been there. Not so easy to listen.
Look, I have this far from beat, but because of many factors, I have today. And hope for the next day.
Thanks for your reply, it was really important for me to get that out there.

Boo,
It may seem like a short time to you, but believe me, its been in the making for a long time. Each time I relapsed I learned a little more, so there was alot to learn if you want to tally up all of those attempts.
Thanks for your support. I meant what I said and I feel better getting it out. Not all venting has to be bad. Lol

Redd,
Sounds like your doing great, thanks for your posts. Just remember "One Day At A Time" & "Keep It Simple", you hang on to that and continue with what your doing and everything will just keep falling into place. Congratulations on your clean time so far, keep up the good work. I suggest looking into finding a sponsor, I think it was one of your posts I read where you hadn't found one yet.
Thats an example of how we get in our own way. Only we can get in the way of our own progress, thats what they mean when they say "I gotta stay outta my own way". Do what you gotta do for you. When I relapsed I only had myself to blame, I got in my own way. Again great job, talk to ya' later.......
Take care.....................................God bless......................................Bob

You're such a poop.
My son's surgery got pushed back so instead of supposed to have had this all over by now, we have to wait another 3 hours before we even head to the hospital. The waiting's harder on me than him..he's sleeping. Aw, to be a teenager again and be able to sleep for 16 hours at a time.
Love you
Cowgirl
