I'm luck !!!! Unlike many friends A family who still use and by the luck of the dice are not dead or in jail .I have great reason not use again .My meds. will stop working well that may not sound like much . The thought of get drunk or high and spinning into the pits of hell because my meds. stop working works well for me .Now that I look back at all the friends and family members I left behind who cant stop and everyday get a step closer to their grave!
I never thought i would say this but I'm lucky for having a mental illness ( WOW thats %#@&#! up!). It was a very easy choice to use and be very very very mentally sick or not to use and be sober where I can work it at feeling good most of the time . I know its sounds like this should work for all user but we know it doesn't . I control over my mental illness and thats better then any high out there. |

Trippin, I think that's a really positive way to view your situation and congratulations on your sobriety!

Trippin,
Talk about putting a positive spin on things. I have never thought about it that way, but you're right if being on psych meds helps motivate you to stay clean and sober, that's great. --splitimage
