Hi all, Was not able to get on line before work this morning... was running behind, but made it to work in time. Had a good day. Thank God. I just recently was assigned to a special project and it real slow right now, but I can still have some challenges, but not near a stressful as my other position. Good time to be healing or detoxing. I don't know if I would have been able to do this in my old position, it was non-stop all day. Anyway, I can say today I have had a good day, and glad to be off those dang percs. Just wanted to drop a few lines to you all, would not be this far without you all. Depression I have not had any yet this evening, so thats why Iam saying , today was good day... Iam headed to a A.A. meeting at 7p.m. I have admitted to my group that I relapsed which was tough after four years but I knew I had to do it. Iam kinda trying to make a decison on when to start my sobriety date again. Those of you that are familar with A.A. and N.A. might be able to give me some suggestions. When I relapse this time on the percs after about nine months I relapsed on alcohol. But, I went back , picked up a 24 hour chip and have not had a drink since then. I know this is not a alcohol board. But being totally clean is important to me. So , I don't think Iam going to have a sobriety date until off sub. then that day I will declare it my sobriety date. Or I could have called the day I picked up my 24 hours chip my sobriety date, but Iam on sub. Its not a huge dilema but just something I been trying to decide.. There are lots of people that are sober in A.A. on anti-dep. drugs and will be for a while. So, Iam not sure there is any difference..Iam not going to worry about it much. Just taking one day at a time, stay clean from alcohol and opiates is the most important thing anyway... I use to get caught up in the amount of time I had, but it really don't mean nothing. All we have is today, is what my sponsor tells me....Well hope all of you are having a good evening... My house looks like a differnt house, think that has helped with my depression. It really lifted my spirits to clean everything up and be a bit more organized..Thanks all
Hi Takasha;
You sound really good in your post. Your honesty and hope are shining thru! As far as your clean time, some others here probably have opinions one way or another. I personally am not paying much attention to getting chips this time around...it just doesn't seem important in the overall scheme of things. I know when my last drug/drink was, and I'm moving away from there a day at a time.
If you really want to know, confide in a friend at your meeting and get a sense of how it will be received. Some AA/NA groups frown upon just about any drugs, and sub is one that can "hit a nerve" so to speak. I myself take naltrexone and don't think I'm breaking any rules, but that's me.
As long as you're honest with yourself, that's all that matters in my book. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Jim
