> :')That's wonderful! I hope that overall, you feel better for it. It sure makes a difference for me. Let the medications do their best without adding toxins for my body to deal with.
Let's see, I'm one year and over 7 months sober now. I think of it as a big favour I'm doing for myself - which is something that I didn't think I deserved at times.sp

wish I could do that. I've been 4 weeks off POT today. Still can't pass a test for some reason. Eating 5 servings fruit and vegitables, tea, bits of exercise, lots of fluids, like OJ, cran, grape, juice. I start my new job tomorrow and don't know if I can pass the test.

Congratulations! The first months are the hardest, IMO, and while some days/events can trigger you, each day that you are sober adds to the one before and you can gather incredible strength. I know that stopping the self medicating made it possible for me to explore more problems. Not to say it was easy, but taking that layer out forced me to look at the underlying issues.
Good luck, and you should be very proud of yourself,
antigua
