That last post reminded me of an inspirational note on a bookmark that I was given on my one year medallion. It reads: "Each day we are born again to start our life anew. What we do today is what matters most." Wishing you all another safe 24 hours. God bless each and every one of you. Tlkee, so happy to be free!!
My clean week is the first week of August 2007. I don't have a clean date because the last drug I quit was not exactly conducive to such exactitude. I'll be figuring out the precise date as I get closer to a year clean, but honestly I've got more important recovery stuff to do right now--like familiarize myself with this forum.
Ít's been 9 months now. Waw I acutally can not believe that I have been able to stay so strong. This is just another confirmation for me, that ALL adicts can make it. And it also confirms to me that all the docotrs and psychiatrist are wrong when they said I'm a hopeless case. Thanks to NA and AA that helps in this process
Good morning people it's 5:42am eastern standard. and I'm here to tell you my clean date is May, 30, 2008. Why am I telling you this at this early hour, because unfortuntely a good friend who is still active thought it was appropriate to call me at 5:15am to tell me how beautiful the pond he is at is. Well brothers and sisters, recovery is beautiful and I will pray for my friend that he returns to recovery to experience the beauty once more. Love Bill G.
I'm at work and work in recovery, and it is hard to get to meetings. So I was googleing this morning and found this website, I had a question about step1 na step working guide, and I got the answer from the message board....
RIGHT ON EVERYONE thanks for sharing and posting please KEEP COMING BACK the message board is growing and we need all the support we can get to help the newcomers who come in droves, so please please please take some time to share.
I am originally from San Francisco, and landed in a redwood forest 60 miles north of San Francisco known as the Russian River area. I was so bored in this new small town due being from a faster pace, that a family saggested that I go to Nar-anon meeting (our sister program, for families and loveones that survive the pain of our desease, and all the little and big tornado's that only addiction and the addict are so adapt at making.) It was my families contention that I had a problem with men! As I still used off and on and attended Nar-anon time passed and afterwhile it was saggested that I go to those other meetings with those addicts to better understand the concept of addiction, and I really related to u guys! I have been in N.A. every since! I have been blessed, truly blessed to have grown up in N.A., I came around when I was 21, and slowly gave up my way of doing recovery, whereby I gave up all mind and mood altering substances by the time I was 23 years old. I was blessed enough to grow up in N.A. and u guy raised me right in many ways! I still have a lot to learn, but I feel like in many ways I have really begun to mature, and at times become the woman I always wanted to be! My clean time is 21 years ago on April 3, 1987
Hello Everyone ...... My name is Sue. I am an addict from Nova Scotia, Canada.
I believe this may be the same site that I came to, now and then, for a few weeks several months back ..... but .... it seems a lot has changed though, so I can't be certain....*blush*...
I was reading over all the entries for clean dates and .... **WOW** ... it's an amazing thing to see us all like that!! This ... "We" ... We truly ARE 'Miricles In Progress'!! It SO hits home for me when seen this way!
I'd like to acknowledge, and also give much thanks to, the inspirational (and dedicated ) member who came up with this idea , and then who ALSO volunteered to take on the task of keeping track of us all!!
I'm afraid my poor, befuddled brain box would get lost for sure ! If not in the recording end of things, then most asuredly in the 'perfecting' of the system I'd need in order to do so !!
I look forward to more reading within the different forums, and I am definately looking forward to attending a meeting and perhaps hanging around a bit more ..... until then ..... .... Hugz to you all.
Hello fellow people who have found a new way of life! My clean date is January 25th 2003. Keep coming back! It works if you work it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Carla M.

Hello family im an addict called frank! Im new to this board so i thought id introduce myself. Im a recovering addict and ive been clean since Dec 2 2006. Look forward to talking to you all in the future.
Claire, You really need to get to a f2f meeting where people are there to support you immediately.. when you need it. This online meeting is amazing as well, but take it from me.. f2f meetings are a great way to find a sponsor and other addicts and alcoholics that would love to befriend and listen to you. If you ever need anything let me know.
Hi Mayan, an addict, My clean date is 20 May 2007 Clean for Just For Today. Thanks, Its been a long time great to meet you guys again Love, love and love,
My sobriety date always feels like it was yesterday, every day. I've met members who have 40 or more years of sobriety that I want nothing to do with. I love newbies. I always want to be one. I stumbled into this room on April 10 1985

Yesterday, August 31st 2008......one whole day without smoking. I started getting quality clean time back in 85, but now i'm convinced nicotine is a drug and i've been starting and quitting over the course of the years. So consider me a major relapser who's finally clean, today.

First timer. Excited to have found this website!!!! A calendar for birthdays is always an awesome idea! My clean date is January 13, 1996. Can't wait to be online at the meeting later and to be apart of posts. Thank you all for being apart of my recovery today. Without all of you I can't stay clean!!!!
