The first step is the worst step. You are to be commended for your actions. Never underestimate your parents ability to perceive, there is nothing new under the sun.Do not look back, keeplooking forward. If counting days/weeks/months/years helps, you should definitely go to NA meetings since they give out chips to mark the time you have sober. I got my 24-year chip last month. One day at a time brother. You can PM me, too, if you want to. I been there and done that and got the T-shirt. It says ;
*Don*t drink, don*t smoke, die anyway*

 

Ahh..The darvocet is messing with me today..STUPID DOCTOR. it does help my migranes though. And i dont feel as if i am addicted to it at all. But it easily has the potential to become very addictive. Its so nice to be able to leave the bottle alone when i dont need them though. And then when i really do need them. atleast they are there. kinda nervous about them though.

 

Stay strong and you will be fine.
