Hi Jackie-

Wondering how youre doing today. Todays 2 weeks for me. I love reading your posts. They always make me smile!!!

Thanks,
Marie
hey marie,
go girl, 2 weeks. your post even have some perk to them. i can tell you are a brand new person. if you are like me, i don't even think about pills during the day anymore. keep it up girl.

Hey Brian - Well thanks alot!! I appreciate it - only do me a favor - dont say my posts have any "perc" in them LOL!!! Just kidding. Thanks for the inspiration guy! I know you have several weeks on me, I'd be lying if I said I never thought of them - but I definately know I have a more positive attitude - alot of people can see that I'm kind of getting back to "my old self".

Still taking it a day at a time.
Love,
Marie
Well hi you good people im on day 46 clean and i actually had to go and count, Brian like you i dont think about my tablets much simply because when tapering from 20 a day to 10 i changed my habits slowly its suprising how much pills run your life, there are still a few things i need to do in order to make a relapse less likely but im getting there. well christmas is comeing zzzzzzzzz more money we dont have i guess but this year will be the first in many many years clean so im going to enjoy a headache, druged up free time. i want to wish you well in your recovery which ever stage your at it can be done it just takes time the right process for you and a lot of determination oh and a little positivty, we spend so many years in a negitive light poor me etc its nice to be in reality now, poor me as gone now im in get off your butt stage lol and the relisation that no matter what ive been through in my past its no longer acceptable to use it as an excuse to take mind altering pills or remain a victim have a good day jackie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
wowsa, jackie! 46 days is a huge accomplishment. i so honor the part in you that wants recovery. this is your truth and you are shining, darling!

ya know? when you started this thread you said:

"Good morning to all i hope this day brings you that something extra we all need to fight our battle."

i just wanted to add that sometimes in order for me to win the battle, i had to stop fighting and surrender...at least that is the way it was when i was battling pill addiction.

i am so proud of you and thanks for letting me share in this thread.

much love and encouragement to you -

Jackie, congratulations on 46 days and your continued recovery. You're really a positive prence on this Board. M.
Sammy thx for your post, it took me many years to get to my rock bottom and i failed after two years clean, it was so easy to get back into old habbits my ex husband was in pain and brought some home and encouraged me to have some and yes i could of said no but i never i had so many issues going on in my life then it was easier to block things out. i tried many many times to seek help from all directions GP councellors drug life lines all to no avail now either that was because it was not my time to be clean or i just did not rearly want the help i was just going through the motions i honestly have no idea all i can say is that in that time i have become a expert on myself emotionaly ive learnt to except things and turn them into positive ok so its not easy but its the only way i can deal with the issues i had. My dad molested me at 14 now that was a challenge to turn into something positive my mum divorced him and it gave her 2 good years of a happy non-abusive marriage (before she died) so hey thats positive. i was raped at 16 and concieved i never told my family i was raped so how could i make it positive well after quiting pills this time i thought that if it were not for me a childless couple may not feel complete. Iwas sent to prison where i was raped by females whats positive about that well it made me see that i was never going back to prison or staying on booze. etc etc etc my life has been one of many challenges but the pill addiciton was one of the greatest to combat and now ive done the easy bit im sure as hell not going back to that ever again. i believe everything happens for a reason and we should learn from it but we dont always see what we should of seen at the time, im learning to see and make good sound judgment with my inner self which all in all makes me happy. positivty can work and should go hand in hand with what ever else you can grab to beat addiction. you take care jackie xxxx
Hi noneforme what a great id none for me either lol take care hun jackie xx
