The other day I told someone how long I had been sober, and it occured to me that I should be proud of myself, I just had to let someone know. I started shooting up at 13. I was addicted to crack, coke, and heroin, well nething that would kill me really. I quit on my own, with no drugs, no family, no friends, no help, no meetings, nothing but me and my withdrawl. I should be dead. I was down to 60-70lbs and am currently up to 95lbs. I've been sober now for 4 yrs, 3 months, 3 days, 19 hrs, 53 minutes. I know that alot of you might be like "uh....ok, so?" but I just needed to get that out. thanks for reading.

Congrats that is a REALLY big acheivement. Most people cant even stop smoking but quitting heavy drugs on your own is a HUGE miricle.

Looks to me like you traded one addiction for another. Interests......Drinking. Drinks? Often. Anybody that really gets sober and I mean Sober does it for themself and doesn't have to get an approval from the world. No pat on the back from me.
