Hope things are still working for you.

I'm still here Things are going as planned so far. The phone calls are becoming fewer, so that is good. I think people are starting to get the message that I'm not interested. Driving back and forth to the clinic everyday is a chore expecially with the way gas prices are, but I'm still going and looking forward to my reward in the end

thanks for caring

That's great! So how many days/weeks now?

Keep it up! and so glad to hear the unwanted calls are going away.

Yes, give us your days/weeks... You should be proud of every day... because every day is a step towards that reward...

Sending you strength... HUGS

Anon, when times get tough and you start to think *this is too hard*, step back, take a deep breath, and call someone who truly cares about YOU, or come here. We are here to prop you up when you need it.

Hey, Anon - look at it this way. Every dollar you spend on gas is a dollar you are not spending on the drugs. And I'll bet the gas is a whole lot cheaper. Small price to pay for your health, your independence, and your marriage and family.

Keep up the good work. And, as Karen says, call someone or come here. If you want to, get a hotmail account and email me through the contact menu of the board. With a hotmail e-mail address, you can maintain your anonymity.

It's me I'm still staying on track. It's been 18 days since I've had a vicoden! That was one of my drugs of choice and the easiest one for me to get. It's been 18 days since I've done anything illegal or had street drugs! I'm feeling really good about my support at the clinic and I've told my councelor many times to keep reminding me of my goal. I know they said at the begining that my dose would begin to be lowered after about 2 months, well, I think I'm ready to start that now. I'm going to mention it at my next meeting, that is on Wed. that I would like to try to go down a couple of milagrams. I just really am ready to be free of everything. Of course, I don't want to do anything too quickly, I sure don't want to end up where I was before, but I think I'm ready now to start lowering. Wish me tons of luck! The support I've received here as been very appreciated, it has helped in so many ways!
I'll keep everyone updated to my progress!

Anon, I'm delighted. 18 days is a long time. But, don't rush the program, and please be guided by the counselors' wisdom in when you begin lowering your dosage. They have a lot of experience in helping people do what you are so bravely doing.

By Bobbie~moderatr on Thursday, August 9, 2007 - 09:25 am:

Agreed.. Take your time, slow and steady wins the race.. Talk about your wants but be ready to listen to their reasoning.. Many more prayers for strength..

By Crystal915 on Thursday, August 9, 2007 - 08:51 pm:

WTG, Anon!!! Don't rush forward too quickly, remember that recovery is a life-long process. Hang in there!

By Reds9298 on Thursday, August 9, 2007 - 09:01 pm:

Great job Anon!!!! Ditto on the prayers for your continued strength. One day at a time...you can do it!

By Nicki on Thursday, August 9, 2007 - 09:05 pm:

You are doing great, Anon! I'm keeping you in my prayers.

By Jelygu on Thursday, August 9, 2007 - 09:06 pm:
