Today is day 3... I haven't had a pill since Friday night. I get cravings like crazy and I had a dream the night before last about stealing pills from someone. I'm staying strong and getting through this the best that I can. JUST FOR TODAY :) I keep thinking about how great things will be not depending on a substance to keep me going through the day... I can be ME again!

It will be wonderful, I promise. But if I can offer up a suggestion? Focus on getting through Today - that's all you need to think about at the moment. We don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, and the only thing we have any control over is the moment we're living in.
I'm really not trying to be a Negative Nellie, so please don't take it as such - I just know from personal experience that the only way to get through this is One Day at a Time.
I heard something at a meeting that made so much sense to me..."If you keep one foot on yesterday, and the other on tomorrow, then you're pissing on Today...and Today is all we have!"
Good for you I can tell you it is a wonderful thing to be clean and enjoying life. My experience is that the more involved in NA I become the easier it gets to enjoy life without the drugs. I have so much fun in recovery! Do you have friends in recovery yet? For me, going for coffee or hanging out at clean friend's houses playing games is the highlight of my week. It's about a change of perception. There is so much freedom in learning to enjoy life without drugs..... it sounds like you are already experiencing that which is so so awesome;0 Thank you for sharing you sound like an awesome person with enthusiasm for recovery. keep comin'!!!
