without Drugs

I had a great weekend. Its been 2yrs 3 months without cocaine. The past 6 months have been the best years of my life. My childhood was terrible, my teen years were spent in foster care, & I lived on my own since I was 16. Now at 42 I have finally began to live. I never believed I could have fun without drugs or alcohol. I love my life now. It is possible to get through all the pain of our past. It is possible to enjoy our lives without using.

I just wanted to share this with you all. I know for me it was a big part of not wanting to stop using. I thought my life would be boring. I didnt know how much I could appreciate life. I thought I was appreciating life. My thoughts are with you all.

Audra,
Keep staying strong and remember what brought you to this point before and after you put the drug down. I do it once a day, sometimes not by choice and that sick feeling reminds me of how good it is to be free of the devil. At least for today...

Recovery saved my life as it has done for countless others. Some days I take it a heart beat at a time. We are not bad people we just made bad choices,keep doing what you are doing the joy is in the journey a day at a time.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
