Thank you all so much....all of your words seriously mean so much to me. Reid, I'm sorry to hear you are going through a rough time....I'll be thinking of you and hoping that it passes soon....

I'm so happy to be where I am....and I also realize that I have a long way to go. So many more goals to be reached....not only in my sobriety "timeline", but just in life in general. A long time ago in my thread I said that no one is guaranteed a happy, content life just because they stop pills. They have to work for it. I believe that now more than ever. If I don't fill my life with things that make me happy, fill those holes, etc., then I can easily slip back to my old ways. That was my problem to start with I think....I was just waiting for this "happy" life to instantly appear, and when it didn't, I found something that would simulate it for me. So I'm just going to keep working at it, and hopefully good things will come my way because of it...

A question....I'm not on here all that much so I think I might have missed something....is Robert taking a break? I haven't seen his name on any threads lately......

Bravo Moon I also believe the same. I have replaced finding pills, taking them, and laying around, with fishing, photography, and storm chasing It has really helped keep my mind off the other things. Keep up the good work girl!

Hi all, just wanted to check in! On September 14th I hit my 7 month mark. If you would have told me a year or two ago that I could go 7 months, I would have said you were crazy. It feels so nice to be entering a new season (my favorite, Fall!) clean and sober and just enjoying life. And 7 months later I'm FINALLY starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel as far as the finances, so that's been good.

I hope all my old friends are doing well....and that anyone who is starting out and might be reading this can realize that there IS a better life without pills in it....

Proud of you, Moon! Seven months clean is awesome. I fully expect to hear back soon that you have a year! God bless.

Thank you for checking in Moon! So glad to hear you are doing well. My father always has to remind me of the day. I just don't even count them anymore to be honest. I don't lose sight of the problem I had though and keep fighting daily. Hope everyone else can do the same. Peace
