The last day I took Oxy was the day after my fiance left [08/05/2008]. The last time I drank alcohol (hardcore/ excessive) was this August the 5th...

10 months clean of everything,
with the exception of 5 slip-ups.
...It discourages me if I don't say 10 months, and if I counted the slip-ups lol.

9 days without alcohol.
32 hours without Vicodin.

That's a waste of time.

It will never happen.
Life is about finding yourself,
And finding people who accept that person.

You're all doing great! Just keep it up. 
I think I've gone three weeks without Oxycodone.

Since January 2nd of 2009. So it's been well over a year. Reason being, I started dating a really supportive guy who did NOT support alcohol and my constant drug abuse.
I had slipped up about 6 times in this period of time. But I do not count those, because the way I see it, if I'm not using daily like I used to, then I'm sober =]

I think only a week. I feel the need building though. Alone in an alien world with no family. I feel myself slipping back into it again. It's better being a "vampire" and shutting out your humanity than feeling the pain. I just unlocked pandora's box tonight and realize I still want to trade places with my cousin - I don't feel like I truly deserve where I am, I think that's the problem. I don't deserve it. And feeling that - it sucks.
"Maybe I just like people. Maybe sexuality isn't one thing or the other. Maybe it's just something that's shifting and moving. I just know I'm not thinking man or woman."
- SHAMELESS.
