I just celebrated 8 months clean this week. I would’ve had 2 years this month, but had a 5 day relapse back in May. At that point I put myself back into treatment and today feel stronger than ever in my recovery.

I stay a little bit scared though because I know that addict in me is strong and wants nothing more than to destroy me. I’ve been staying motivated and focused by going to 2-3 meetings a week. I go to the ones at my treatment center. They are a bit different than 12 step program, but they work great for me. I also go to counseling, exercise, hang out with positive people and have created a great routine in life.

So overall today I am doing really well. I’m happy to be back on the forum and hope to talk to you all.
