2008.03.04 - 11:11 AM
I am seeing familiar faces and I would message you guys but I can't seem to do it..Hope you all are well and congrats Taryn!!I was a waitress in T.O. and I just graduated bartending top of my class..real suprise..lol..



Is there a way to actually message people directly on here.Try as I might I can't do it..
Good to see ya!!I don't go downtown anymore cause it is a huge trigger and I am getting close to three years clean so that's that.We are in the Commercial/Broadway area now..way nicer.
We have been having alot of problems with the site lately I cant even msg peeps unless im replying to a blog
DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING AND SING LIKE NO ONE IS LISTENING

hope you don't mind me e-mailing you i'm trying to touch base with anyone who is into being clean and better yet,staying clean!!congrats on three years that's freakin gargantuous(?)i've only been clean for a very short time(not even a month)however surrendered myself to residing in a recovery house so as to be safe and ultimately take the time to really dig my heels in to recovery and find out who the hell i am or want to be for that matter!!i don't know much right now but i do know that i don't want to suffer anymore,nor do i want anyone else to suffer because of my addiction!!being clean today is treat ,SUNSHINE,what a concept!!!anyhow,i wish you and yours a treat journey,please get back to me sometime if you wish i always need to hear how those who have gone before me(yourself)have done it.take care and thanks for the reminder about changing people,places and things!! tons of peace and serenity.--=--spits(shane k.)
I was the Relapse Queen.First I was daily and then a week could pass and then two and then four and once I hit that four month mark it was hard to throw it away but I did until I didn't.I just gave it up..the drug was getting shittier and the method deadlier and I just couldn't do it anymore!I actually found love for myself which made it harder to torture myself.I found people to fill my life that would hold me accountable for my actions.It is easy to use when all your friends are helping you to give into the "darkness" every once in a while.
Watch Spy and Squeaks video on here..it is funny but also true..you have to go to treatment and you have to LEAVE VANCOUVER or at least the places you know too well.
It will be lonely for the first while.You'll have to leave your using buddies behind and you won't trust anyone new for a while but in the end you will have the peace and sanity you have been longing for your whole life.I do and now instead of slowly starving myself to death(that is a very painful way to go)I am married with the happiest little boy who has never seen his Momma "under the weather" and hopefully never will.
Please keep in touch and know that anything is possible.You just have to have hope!!!
the accountability dealio is vital,i've got at least a dozen other guys just like me who are always peeking at me and today i understand that it's a really good thing that they call me on my shit!!sometimes i want to commit homocide(lol)however,left to my own devices,i'm totally pooched!!anywho,congrats on being clean and a mother and wife,i wish you and your family a treat journey!!hope to talk with you again,true to self----spits(shane k.) god bless.
Just something you said..that I have done it..I have not..I am doing it but I believe I will always have to be a bit more careful than the non-addict..the recreational user so to speak.Once you are in recovery you are not recovered..you are in recovery..I have watched so many people make that mistake..I beat it they would say and then a month later they are dead from an od..
I don't believe it is a life long fight..but give it some time..I am close to three but I can still think about it from time to time..i've dreampt about it and woke up with the symptoms of being high..it's not easy but if you were tough enough to survive all you went through in addiction you are tough enough to deal with recovery and the difference is there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow..you just have to find the end..
Peace out!!
P.s. Keep me updated!!Did you go for your key tag/chip yet for one month?
hey,i understand what you mean by this being a journey with length,i seem to operate a little better when i can just wrap my twisted head around getting through today!!worry about tomorrow when it comes!!i used to want to vomit evrytime someone would say"one day at a time"but that concept has become instrumental for me thus far,thank god.. anywigs,no i have'nt got a tag yet but i have a feeling that it's a possibility for me one day real soon----- oh yeaaaaaahhhhhh!!!take care,god bless---spits(shane k.)thanks!!!!
Positive mind thoughts my friend...r u staying clean?Didn't you say you were in a clean house?
yeah,i am clean and i am in a recovery house,thanks for reminding me!!my head is a dangerous neighbourhood!!can you relate? anyways, have a treat day!!!god bless,spits(shane k.)
Just like that Nike ad..I will even picture that check mark..like I said before to me it is like fighting a samurai warrior..I end up on a battle field and I am fighting for my life.I win lately but was not always the case..I have learned new skills to battle my foe and so will you..if you run into your old using buddies and they try to tempt you get mad..my husband stayed clean by glaring at everyone..there came a point when people were afraid to even talk to me never mind sell me drugs..I didn't understand at first but now I do.Yes, very lonely but my son fills my life as well as my hubby and I am seeing a lot of my old friends get clean..makes me very happy!!
Don't slip but if you do get right back up..never give up.I believe addiction is of the dark side and if you walk in the light your journey will be very fulfilling..
You are doing great!!!Keep it up and never give up!!!!!!!!NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
great analogy,thanks for the support,one addict helping another is without parallel.. peace to you and yours--god bless...spits(shane k.)
Love you all - rashlou
