    Congrats to you mickeyrat. I'm sure you worked very hard to earn that. Continued success to you.

    Actually, continued success to all of you who are dealing with addictions (whatever they may be).

  • I'm so happy to have found you all. It is awesome that a band such as PJ can have such a force of a fan base. Today is day 6 for me. Its also the first real challenge in my recovery. Its Easter and the day is full of activities with the family. I woke up and my first thought was I wanted a pill. Luckily I know there isnt one available and I can't go back to dumping out drawers looking for one. Plus the day before I started I cleaned thoroughly to make sure if did search I would come up empty.. The challenge for today is I started a new routine with lots of exercise in the mornings. I missed how much a natural endorphin high feels awesome. It gives me a chance to just put on some headphones and reflect on everything listening to music. So I started chasing that dragon so to say. Today there is no time for music or a workout until lunch time.

    The one thing I found the most I missed was music and how much it moves me. I never had cable or liked TV until I started using. My wife remembers when we were dating how I always had music on. She loved it as she didn't have much experience with rock and it gave me a chance to teach her about all rock from Pink Floyd to Nirvana/PJ and all things in between. Now that I'm sober I love music more than anything on have it on almost all day again.

    Anyways, thank you for pointing me here. My struggle is just starting but I am not willing to go back this time.

    Music has been so important in my recovery. I, too turned away from it during my darkest times. Now music fills me up.

    I don't exercise, but I would think running to Inside Job would be amazing.
