Official clean of coke addiction since Thanksgiving day. Was even in danger over the holidays but passed on it. Maybe that's not vain that's just bragging about one of my little accomplishments that took like forever. I think self medication had a lot to do with it. It puts me in a good mood and why would I want that when I can feel like crap most of the time.

Congratulations on your clean time!! And an extra high five for passing up the temptation during the holidays. You should be very proud of yourself and are worthy of vanity. Just keep it real, though, so you can have even more clean time by Easter. Good luck!!

Congrats being clean is worthy of praise and bragging about. Everyday clean is an accomplishment and speaks volumes of your desire to treat yourself and your body right. Keep up the good work. Best of luck on continued success.

Congratulations MageMichael! I can totally understand using substances as a means to self medicate btw. Continued cleanliness (if thats the right word!) to you. Best of luck :)

I don't think that is vanity at all and you should be very proud of yourself for this accomplishment. I've never had a drug addiction but I do smoke so I can imagine how difficult quitting something like that can be.
