I have 2 years sober today. i don't drive a corvette. I don't date a super model( I don't even have a girlfriend). I have two rooomates and they are both skids. I am in tremendous debt. I get up in the morning and I think about the "problems" that I have and I am grateful. Because as I recall all these problems I remember when all I could think of when I got up was getting to the liquor store and getting a wake-up so I would stop being sick. Stop shaking and stop puking. I am blessed. Even with all the daily challenges God gives me I am blessed. I GO TO WORK EVERYDAY. I HAVE GOOD FRIENDS. I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH A LIVING GOD. I have 2 years sober. Peace

I've got all the respect in the world for you, Donnie.  I
know quite a few people very close to me who have battled addictions;
some successfully, some not.  I know it can be an incredibly
difficult road.Keep up the good work!

Excellent!      <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/clap.gif" border="0" />    And as a way of encouragement from someone who's been there (15 yrs dry) it keeps getting easier as you go along.

I'm not up on the God stuff but glad to hear you got off the booze.    I never understood people who use drugs and alchohol to escape their lives.  You just wake up to the same problems, and then the problems are usually worse.Good for you man.  Keep it up.  You're stronger than the booze.

Sweet dude!  I can kinda relate to you.  Did you quit cold turkey?  Did you go to NA?Ive been away from the white stuff for a little over a year now, when i did it, sure it was f'n great nothing in the world could possibly be better, but EVERY F'ING TIME a few hours later i'd be out, I needed more, I would do just about ANYTHING to get money for my "habits", and many times I easily spent about a grand in a week!Now, I am SO thankful i am away from that stuff and i have discouraged my friends to stay away from it too.  I am so glad i actually have more money now, i am healthier, I can actually get a good nights sleep, and im not grinding my teeth, having a bloody nose, and shitty gums.  I function better at work and college, and im staying away from trouble with friends, family, and police.I think the best way to deal with addiction is to find something you enjoy and use that to stay away from drugs.  You know there is always going to be another chance that you can score, but you have to learn to say NO.  Personally i chose skateboarding and videogames they take your mind off of things.  I also have stopped smoking cigarettes too which is cool.  I do admit though that once in a blue moon i'll smoke some ganja but i havent done it in months and i wont buy it, and it is no where nearly as destructive as cocaine is. THANK GOD MAN!
