Hello all, I haven't been on for a while, I went away to Spain last week end with 24 friends, it was really good I had a good laugh. Then everything else still the same still working, and best of all still clean and I haven't even thought about it for the past few days. I have beeen really busy I seem to have found a new energy without the drugs. I have been really busy, since passing my driving test I have been doing so much more. I haven't been ignoriong the pc, but spending and actually enjoying spending more time with family and friends. I hope you are all well, I am just going shopping for a few Christmas presents with my daughter. Hope you are all alright and speak to you soonxxxxxx p.s. I would not be where I am now without this forum. I think it's six week this tuesday.xxxxx

Thanks for your messages, it is really nice to know that at a click of a button and there is the support I have needed and still do. This place as most of you know is the only place I have been able to come and talk. No one in my life knows about the problems I have had had. I visited a friend today and I know she has amphetamine when she goes out, she told me she had some earlier in the week just to get a bit motivated. I couldn't tell her that that was the way I started, I just made a bit of rubbish up that I had used it for a bit and it had made me depressed and it did me no good, she was like "oh no I only had it for a couple of days to get my house work done and some decorating. I just hope she doesn't go the same way, I know her quite well but we are not very close so I don't want to tell her my experience in case she repeats it. But on the other hand I would like to put her off. So I have just been on the net and printed some nasty stuff off about the drug to show her, I will make out I have just come across it and thought she would be interested. Life eh? She mentioned how good the stuff was and for one second I thought about it, then said oh no I would steer clear of it if I was you, it made me feel bad for a while. But without telling her my experience it's hard to put her off. So just going to show her this awful stuff off the net. Not that it put me off, this board gave me support and info that I needed. But in the end I was waiting for something major to happen to put me off or someone. That never happened and I think like other users you just come to a day when you think this has to stop and only I can do it. Let's hope I stay in this frame of mind. Up to me. I consider myself lucky, three years and fighting to stay clean at the minute. That is the biggest thing taking that step and I have taken it and doing longer than ever. Pleased with myself and my life, I think you need to find some buzz to replace it, an interest or something. Since passing my driving test that is my new buzz. And it means I see more people and get to do more. Mumbling as usual. Take care, how;'s florida girl bumps and all the rest of you. I have so much to read on here tonight to catch up with all your goings on. Had a brilliant wk end away last week, however on the first night two spanish ladies joined our party and ended up stealing my friend and my purse which wasn't very good, but fortunatly our hotel was all inclusive so didn't cause too much trouble. All my friends who were there did a collection for us both so that we could bring gifts for our children. Anyway I should shut up mumbling I have been on the red bull. xxxxxxxxxxxxlove you all. YOu are all amazing for what you have done to me and if I can repay anyone I will, in any way.
there is never any repayment involved in recovery Andrea, you pay yourself by staying clean.
I am doing well, other than a case of bronchitis. Pam has had a slight relapse, but she's gotten honest and back on track. I know that she won't mind me telling you, as she posted it on the board last night.
Just celebrated my 47th birthday on Thursday, the first clean birthday i've had in I don't know how long. I did nothing special, other than going to the dr and getting a shot, some antibiotics and cough medicine. I'm starting to feel a little better today. I did make a Red Velvet cake for my birthday last night, today I am treating myself and making Eggplant Parmigiana for supper, with a green salad and Garlic Bread. I find that since I've gotten off of the cocaine, I really enjoy food (yes I've put on weight, but better chubby and clean) and I spend more time making nutritious meals and trying new recipes on my family.
My mom and dad are planning on coming up from Florida for Thanksgiving, and though we won't be in our new house, we plan on letting them sleep there and I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner in there. My husband is halfway finished making a kitchen table out of cedar, it is going to be beautiful. We hope to be moved in the house by Christmas.
It does my heart good to hear that you are doing well, you've come a long way!
I'm going to lay down for a while, still not feeling great, and the cough meds make me sleepy, but I will check here later.

Bumps happy birthday (belated) sorry to hear you are not feeling too good.
I wish my partner was creative, I have a job getting him to put a mirror up, never mind making something. He is a builder but not in this house.Sorry I am lying he does build a lovely mess, he leaves a trail.
Again, thanks to all you others for your kind words. I sometimes worry about coming on and worry if I come across as gloating, but it was those words of success that gave me hope to start with. So thanks for listening.
Really sorry to hear about Pam, however she comes across as very strong so I am sure she will be back and positive, and back to giving advice and support.
Hope you are all having a good day. It is nearly 10 at night here.xxxxxxxxx
