Well, I went another day without using, and I feel pretty good about it... I went to a meeting, talked to some people, and got a new perspective on the direction I want to take my life in... I'm wondering though... can I really stay clean this time, or am I just fooling myself... if anyone has any suggestions that I could use to try and insure that I stay sober, please feel free to share them with me... thanks:)

" I am proud of you!!!! Remember it's one day at a time and yes you can do it this time. Also keep in mind that their is good in all addicts and I am one also. I have a calender on my wall and each day I put a check mark on the day that I complete my journey on being clean. I have found my self doing a little jig of happiness knowing life is sweeter staying clean. Again good job and stay positive we are all behind you and I will send out a prayer for you!!! "

" Be Proud of yourself and like Patrick said take it one day at a time. Go to as many meetings you can make and try and learn what you need too to become a stronger person. You will find that with each day that go's by you will get stronger and stronger and feel better about yourself keep up the good work and stay strong . "

" Of course it's worth it. You are. Your minds playing with you, by throwing in doubt. It will try anything to trick you, but you have to be strong and don't give in. Of course it's hard, but the rewards later are well worth it. Peace, freedom, happiness...all that is available as long as you just keep clean for today. Don't think about tomorow, or what might happen. Just focuse on right now. You can do it. Wish ya all the best, and keep in touch. James "
