1,000 Days

I'm not one to make a big deal about recovery milestones, other than acknowledge them and move on to the next day. I had 1,000 days clean last week and mentioned it in passing to my group of (normie) friends. Yesterday a beautiful bouquet of roses and gourmet chocolate strawberries were delivered to my house. My friends had all chipped in to recognize my accomplishment. I was bawling ugly tears of gratitude. I'm so grateful for the life I'm living today, and the opportunity to have REAL friends who love me and want me to succeed. I have the very best group of strong women who build each other up. My heart is so full.

I'm pregnant again, however I woke up this morning with heavy bleeding so I think I'm miscarrying. I feel relieved, since we weren't certain that we wanted another child, but also sad because, well, we might want another child. I don't know why this pregnancy isn't viable but my last one was. I'm clean and relatively healthy these days. I'm in a much better mindset and place in my life. With my daughter I was banging heroin every day and indulging in other risky behavior in the first trimester (unknowingly), and I went on to have a healthy pregnancy and an awesome child. She's definitely been resilient from day one. But this one..... It's so weird how the human body works. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Hey, so I am currently detoxing, tapering, whatever off of methadone, and I am very afraid that once I have my last dose, I will run into the terrible withdrawal that everyone talks about. Did you have any or was it pretty mild for you?

I didn't have any withdrawals other than a few body chills but it didn't last long and was bearable. Good luck tapering...its been so, so nice not having to go dose everyday. I've stayed clean and haven't looked back.
