Thank you guys, This past year has been filled with so many ups and downs but I am grateful I have been through this whole experience and still learning. It has taught me alot about myself both good and bad. Every day I am learning somthing new about myself and what areas I need to work on so I don't go back to where I was. You know I read on here alot and I have said it myself when first in recovery" I wish I could get back to the person I was before pills" but you know what I don't wish that anymore. I obviously wasn't happen with my old self or I would have never started abusing and numbing myself with the pills. I like the person I have become and I hope in this new year to keep striving to work on me. Shantel
Shantel...exactly...that's my mantra! I live by that..who the hell wants to be that old person??? Look where it led us!
I am so proud of you....congratulations...now keep it up! Its not a destination...its a journey...one that does not end!!

Tim, I think it is the other way around. I have learned so much from all of you and for that I will always be grateful. You know I found this site when I was at my lowest I was actually looking for detox centers and came across this site. I knew what I had to do at that point but everyone here kept me going when I wanted to give up and for that I am thankful . Shantel
