    3 years ago today I left detox not having much hope I would be able to stay clean. I didn't feel good about my treatment and honestly wanted to use again that same day. I fought it though and struggled for weeks to stay away. Even after months I still thought about getting high constantly. I started to realize something greater was guiding me because ive never been that strong. A year passed and the urges finally weren't so bad. 2 years passed and I was starting to feel good and think about my future and even quit smoking. Today is 3 years and I couldn't feel better. Had a son and have a beautiful fiance and a new car. 2015 has been great and the future looks even brighter. Faith is a great thing and as long as you have it you will be fine, no matter what. Don't give up because a better life is yours. You just have to fight for it sometimes but it just makes you stronger... and I feel unstoppable.

    I am debating on if a couple drinks would be ok. Never had a serious problem with alcohol.. I know its possible to lead to other things but I really don't see it being very likely. I have no urges to do any pills at all.

    Yes. I am five years clean now (from drugs). I don't smoke cigs. Still drink but I'm far from an alcoholic. I drink maybe once or twice a month with friends and get pretty f----- up. It never made me crave drugs though, so I think you'd be okay. Before I was smoking weed almost everyday for ten years and using shrooms, coke, and pills (usually Adderall and pain killers like oxy or vicodin) occasionally too. I still crave weed sometimes but haven't caved. I have kids and a good job now, not gonna f--- it up over something stupid like that. Good job on staying sober. Keep it up.
