hi
i posted a week ago. its over 3 weeks now since i threw my pills away. i pray for you who want to quit can quit, because the disconfort you will suffer through withdrawals with be well worth it. i found the key was detoxing down to 1 pill a day for 4 days. it was so much easier when i threw my pills away.i knew then i had to quit. after about the 5th day, each day gets better and better. today im running 20 miles a week again and feel better and better each day. i read all of your stories, hang on to the sucess stories. i know how you feel when you relasp. the mental torture you put yourself through feeling like you are a failure. one thing i read during my quiet time one morning was, i am important to God. knowing that he forgives us makes it easier to forgive ourself. i don't want to preach on here, but i can tell you , he will walk with you every step of the way. good luck. find a buddy who will support you.

Good man, hang in there Brian, and the running 20 mile a week thing? i couldn't run 20miles in a month lol Peace
Brian,
Three weeks! Thats fantastic. Right now three weeks seems like an eternity to me but I'm trying to take it one day at a time. I'm really happy for you. You seem very determined to stay clean so try hard to never go back. 20 Miles a week, well good for you. I'm looking forward to getting my body back in shape again. Believe it or not I used to be kind of a health fanatic.
More power to you guy!!!

Congrats, Brian. You seem to be doing really well, and seeking spirtual development to help stay clean. I've got 75 days today and agree its much better. I also quit smoking, hoping to run more, but then tore my meniscus in my right knee (according to MRI). Maybe God does have a sense of humor. Anyway, keep up the good work! M.
thanks you guys for all your replys. we are developing a little family on here. i pray for you every morning. i think if we can keep each other accountable, we will experience the peace God wants for our life. you learn to trust God during your struggles. if it would be easy, we wouldn't need prayer and fellowship. i am so proud of all of you. please keep in touch. keep posting your story, people want and need to hear it.
