Day 667

I have gradually went from having terrifying nightmares of slipping up and ruining my hard work to having dreams of having "just one" here and there without becoming an addict again and both are equally realistic. I have to remind myself that there is no such thing as just one and dreams are dreams no matter how realistic they feel. Maybe I'm lucky, but I don't really get cravings anymore. Maybe once in a while when I run into an old friend or place or other kind of trigger, I get nostalgic, but its nothing I can't handle. Its crazy how fast the days count up but I look back and realize that they aren't going by any faster, I was just afraid that day 667 seemed so far away. It's not that it's going by faster, just that I've stopped counting every single individual day. I remember reading blog posts from members that have reached 1000 days and beyond and thinking, I'm not sure if I can make it that far. I still have a ways to go but now I know that I can, and I will. We've all got to start somewhere and it isn't easy. My hope is that if you're reading this, whether you're still planning your quit or you're on day 1 or 10 or 100, that one day you'll be posting your own blog post on your day 667. And for those of you past day 667 I know that you'll never stop counting, even if some days you have to go back and take it one minute at a time like in the beginning. You're free, and no one can take that away from you but you.
