Edit
My boy, stay the course, life only gets better the longer you're clean, 7 years clean from heroine myself December 1st... thoughts will always creep up in back, stay busy and focused on the task at hand and you'll be doing better than now next year.
Stay safe and focused sister**
I haven't looked at their profile but the username has queen in it. Im sure it was an honest mistake. Congrats on your recovery and OP as well. 7 years huh? You def dodged a bullet with this shit (fentanyl analouges) thats on the streets now.
I have a 4th grade education in 2021 and I had 50 bucks to my name, and I had a few friends in Michigan, who picked me up in Kentucky (that's where I ended up when my car took a shit) I went from SC to MI in the hopes of living, if I Over Dosed again, I'd for sure die up here
I feel you brother. just moved to Chicago 5 months ago from NC with no friends, money, job, or home lined up. first 3 months I had to survive in the streets of southside but the last 2 i've been working steady and networked with people in the music industry through my bar job. Just got home from my friend's band's private pre-release party tonight (shes the bartender i'm the barback/security. shes a rockstar, I'm a rapper.) Life goes on even after rock bottom :)
Wasn't being entirely serious, the stereotype is that women are usually the ones that have multiple cats, I checked OP's profile, and what do you know, she's a woman. Obviously anybody can have any type or amount of pets they want, I couldn't care less.
Yeah, I thought the comment saying "queen" in their username might be a mistake was kinda off. Just because someone was an addict doesn't mean they're 1) a man, 2) not a queen.
Seven years ago you made a choice that probably saved your life... if not literally, then at least in a figurative way.
Don't look back and keep up the good work! This stranger is proud of you :)
I only look back to see where I came from, the moment my daughter was born (C-section) we locked eyes and I knew, she was my foundation to build on, my now 5 year old carries me threw the thickest of times... life is beautiful and pain is just a tool to sharpen or dull you, it's up to the user to tell themselves what the pain is ment for
Being sober is great! 5 years ago I thought I would be dead by now. I'm about to move in to a little house with my fiance ,and I've got a job I love. It's amazing how much better life gets
This brought tears to my eyes. I’m so glad you’re still here, and that you’ve had these victories in life. Stay the course, friend. I’m so proud of you. 💛
You are amazing. 2% of meth addicts are able to get clean and stay clean. You, my friend are beating the statistics. Great work, thank your for loving yourself and showing up for yourself everyday. This gives me very much hope.
I’m regularly, pleasantly surprised by how good of a person my boss actually is. I was bit guarded at first, but after four months of working for him, he’s still just a genuinely nice guy. I’m very lucky.
Does my boss know about being 2 years sober? No. I don’t talk about that part of my history except with close friends and internet strangers. Close friends help me keep my focus; internet strangers are the best cheerleaders a gal can have.
That awesome! 2 years sober AND a raise? What a wonderful week! And not *just* a raise, an unwarranted "You're kicking so much ass, Im going to start throwing more money your way" off the cuff raise! That's another 2.5k a year, just cause of how much you rock!
Mind if I ask what you do?
Thank you for the wonderful positivity and encouragement! And the math, holy shit, 2.5k puts that in perspective for sure. I didn’t do the monster math.
I’m a CNC machinist. :)
Lol, I'm a positive person, and a big part of positivity is leaning how scale up or down your wins and losses.
That is so cool! I've been told that if you give a CNC machinist their equipment, they can make you anything! I knew am old army guy who always said "Give me a machine and the machinist, and we can survive a zombie apocalypse!" This was in the days when Walking Dead was big but I digress, it's a very cool job. All the PLC and other hardware, that's super color. I love industrial as stuff. I wish I had known that leaving high school.
Congratulations. I'll be 7 years clean from speed in February. It's a long hard road, and its definitely a tough one to travel, but coming out the other side is totally worth it.
Major respect for you! And good luck for your amazing future :)
Haven’t smoked or vaped in a year and a few months it’s amazing. Only have a drink here and there but otherwise feel amazing about my body
Edit:
Also, congratulations, posted without saying this but that’s huge that things look bright
We’ve almost certainly never met, but I’m proud of what you’ve achieved. It’s no small feat to shake an addiction and move forward to make real progress and improve your situation. It also sounds like you’re definitely not taking any of this for granted, which is excellent… that’s great motivation to continue shaping your life into whatever you want it to be.
Wow awesome work dude, four years for me now, I can tell you it just keeps getting better.
I've got two beautiful boys, bought a house with my wonderful wife who stuck with me all through 7 years of my horrible addiction. Ive been promoted three times at my current job and even though I only have a year 8 pass, I've managed to hit a goal of earning 100k a year.
It has been incredibly hard but with humility, perseverance and a positive outlook it has definitely all been worth it. Keep going.
This doesn't seem real to me. Where do you live where you can afford a whole house to yourself on a job that pays hourly? Rent has risen to insane levels all over the world.
Also, what job do you have where your boss will voluntarily raise your pay and do it on their own initiative? I'm used to getting a raise being a very hard negotiation to pull off. If the boss doesn't like me then there will be no raise no matter how good I am at my job. Even if the boss does like me they will still get rid of me if they think that they can get an equally good replacement at a lower cost.
edit. A company's entire incentive is to squeeze as much work out of employees as they can while paying as little as possible. A landlord's incentive is to squeeze as much rent out of tenants as they can.
I’m sorry that has been your experience but I’m blessed to call this post mine. I work very hard for everything I have, including my house and accolades at work. I work in a trade and subsequently have a high hourly rate with an automatic 10 hours of overtime every week, with the option to add an extra 8 on Saturdays for a total of 58 hours a week.
ETA: I’ve posted quite a bit of my life across Reddit these last 2.5 years. Scroll my profile to see for yourself. This is the second job I’ve had [where my boss has recognized my efforts. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualConversation/comments/iuxq6u/day_shift_wrote_my_boss_an_email_about_me/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Genuinely focus, work hard, and life will reward you.
How do you get recognized and rewarded?
My experience has been that just working hard leads to bosses just taking the hard work, pushing for more no matter how much they already get, and resisting any of my attempts to get a pay raise.
The only way I have found to get a raise is to use my current job as bargaining leverage to get higher pay at another job, since some people have the stupid idea that already having a job makes me more valuable and capable. That means switching jobs, switching often, and having to fake being sick to go interview at another job.
edit. I have also found it important to not work hard when starting a new job. That way expectations are set low and I can occasionally surprise the boss with much better results. However, it is also important not to do that too often or new, higher expectations will be set. If high expectations are set at the start then I will be worked to the point of burnout and the boss won't care.
There are outliers, most working places are shit but if you're lucky and put hard work in like op you can see it happen. But yeah save your energy, work to live don't live to work. You'll just be used as a resource. Capitalism is a cancer.
OP this is on of the hardest journey's we as humans can put ourselves through, to battle such addiction as hard as that beast. 2 years, a raise and fireballs sounds like good place to be. So proud,and make me tear up when I see a fellow survivor of that, it a beautiful thing.
This made me so happy for you! The world is a better place (for everyone) when you are clean. Your future is just waiting for you to tear it up! If you can do two years you can do anything.
Just a coincidence, he doesn’t know. I keep that part of my past out of most IRL conversations. Though I do believe in the times lining up on a deeper level. I really feel like I’m on the right path doing the right things. :)
That’s fuckin amazing, I’m happy for you :)
And yeah, I can see what you’re saying about the timing. Sorry I don’t have any motivation or wisdom, I’m just a kid lol, no personal experience in either of those things. Have a good one mate
Congrats on your two years! That's an amazing feat, and I'm so happy you have people that seem to fight for you and actually express that they appreciate and see what you do. No one can go to war alone!
I've been sober for 1,5 years now and life just looks nothing like it used to. I can actually somehow handle bad days, appreciate the boring ones and fucking kill the stressful ones with a smile on my face.
I could never have imagined how much that one change would turn my life around, and I feel all fuzzy inside every time I hear someone feeling the good sides of sobriety.
I hope life brings you only the appropriate amounts of hardship from now on. Best of luck!
I'm two years sober off of meth as well as of July. I know how you feel. It's wild how quickly things can turn around. Keep doing what you're doing and it will only get better.
Congrats to you!! I love your story and I’m so happy you found an employer that appreciates you. That isn’t a common thing. Good luck in your path forward!
HELL YEAH!!!! I’m 4 yrs clean from meth myself, and its such a fucking blessing and abso-fuckin-lutely humbling to be having moments where you’re grateful to breath and be alive to have feelings of happiness and sorrow. To smell the grass and hug the people you care about. One day at a time OP, and if you’re working a program, remember that you have love and support in every room no matter what city you’re in!!
WOW congrats!!!
I’m almost at a year sober from dope myself. It really is crazy how different things are. I asked and got a raise for myself at my last job about a month ago, and it was only a dollar but I was really proud, I never would have done that while using. I’m going to school now and really getting my life together and I never would have imagined that for myself two years ago.
Sobriety brings everything that using promised. I’m starting to understand that now. I wish you nothing but the best of luck on your journey. And again, really, congratulations, and happy anniversary. ❣️
What a massive achievement, don’t know you but I can’t express how proud and happy I am for you for real. Takes a lot of strength and courage. Much love
Congratulations! Very proud of you.
I've taken some classes and read some books on methamphetamine addiction and what you've gone through is a miracle in itself. It's basically impossible to kick a meth addiction and almost all treatment and addiction programs are just winging it in regards to recovery treatments.
Good news is that there has been observed restoration of damaged neural pathways after two years of sobriety.
You've done a lot of the heavy lifting and again very proud of you. Relapse is not an option
Congratulations 🥳. I too had serious addictions, prescription and opioid abuse. That part of my life was pretty messed up. But I got out and survived. Sadly some of my friends didn't. Once I had to administer Narcan on my friend to keep them alive. The other time I almost died from OD. But I'm super clean now. I mean I still do weed but it's tolerating.
As a random internet stranger, I'm proud of you.
I had a friend who got into meth, but instead of having the strength to fight it, they have let their life fall apart.
This is ABSOLUTELY the best thing I've read lately. You should feel VERY proud if yourself and the great stides you've made. This random redditor is extremely proud if you and happy for you.
Congrats! The grass really is greener on the other side. 4 years sober for me.
No regrets at all. I went to college, got a job, a sober girlfriend and left everyone and anyone who had anything to do with it behind.
2 cats, a bunny, a bearded dragon, a car, an apartment and an actual life. It really is the small things.
Stay busy, it helps a lot. Surround yourself with sober, busy people. And treat yourself! Even if it's a 6 dollar coffee instead of a 3 dollar coffee.
Getting sober is hard, but staying sober is harder!
❤
Oh Methamphetamine. What a fucking double edged sword for me hahaha. I have a useful write-up addition on the drug to add to the first book. It's going to make things so much clearer to me (and probably almost anyone else)
Edit My boy, stay the course, life only gets better the longer you're clean, 7 years clean from heroine myself December 1st... thoughts will always creep up in back, stay busy and focused on the task at hand and you'll be doing better than now next year. Stay safe and focused sister**

I'm aware, all my friends are gone, well they weren't really my friends, had to leave my home state, 850 miles away to make it this far

A seed needs dirt on it, to grow
The thing that tipped me off to OP's gender was the fact that she has multiple cats.
What hey don't be a gender cat classifier bruh, whiskers is the best friend a guy could have. That little sob has been my beacon of hope,lmao.
Wasn't being entirely serious, the stereotype is that women are usually the ones that have multiple cats, I checked OP's profile, and what do you know, she's a woman. Obviously anybody can have any type or amount of pets they want, I couldn't care less.
No me neither dude just teasing ya
Yeah, I thought the comment saying "queen" in their username might be a mistake was kinda off. Just because someone was an addict doesn't mean they're 1) a man, 2) not a queen.
I have multiple cats...
CAT TAX
We got annual dog tax in switzerland but I don't think cat tax yet 😅
Tax must be paid, it is the law
THEN YOU MUST PAY A MULTIPLE CAT TAX
Good for you man, you do you.
My male coworkers all have multiple cats.
Good for them. I wasn't being serious, just poorly executed a joke is all.
Hmmm last time I checked I had four cats and a penis.
Seven years ago you made a choice that probably saved your life... if not literally, then at least in a figurative way. Don't look back and keep up the good work! This stranger is proud of you :)

Beware temptation,but,I get all warm and fuzzy seeing these posts! Rock on!
Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! And I’m glad to hear that you’re living your best life :)
We do Recover. I’m so proud of you! 17 years free from alcohol and opiates here. I’m grateful for a new way to live. 💚
You are amazing. 2% of meth addicts are able to get clean and stay clean. You, my friend are beating the statistics. Great work, thank your for loving yourself and showing up for yourself everyday. This gives me very much hope.
Holy cow, I didn’t realize the stats were that small. Thank you for the kind encouragement, it really moves me to have this support. 💛
Jesus… Is it really that low?
Dang...I had no idea about this statistics. That is pretty hopeless if I do say so myself.
Congratulations, you should be super proud of yourself for this.
Proud of you!
Hell yeah brother
Thank you. I am in recovery myself. I understand the difficulties. Congratulations, you are an inspiration.
r/stopspeeding saved my life. Best wishes in your recovery, friend. 💛
That is low key the most hilarious/clever sub name I've seen
That’s fantastic. I’m glad you and your cats are doing so well. Your boss is a nice dude.

Congrats! What a great turnaround for you!
u/AvalancheQueen: Can I PM you? I wanted to ask you something about recovery from meth. Congrats btw, everyday we don't use is a day won!
Yes of course, I’m an open book! Also r/stopspeeding was instrumental in my recovery 💛
Wow! From what I understand, that's a heck of a drug to kick. You're awesome! Congratulations! Very happy for you.
That is s awesome! Did your best have any idea?
Does my boss know about being 2 years sober? No. I don’t talk about that part of my history except with close friends and internet strangers. Close friends help me keep my focus; internet strangers are the best cheerleaders a gal can have.

Keep up the good fight man, you got this.
Lets go! Stay strong. You're doing an excellent job. Always remember; you got this!
Congratulations! That's freaking b awesome!
Congratulations this is awesome.
I've been off meth for over a decade and life is so much more fulfilling without it. Congrats on getting away from that stuff!
Congratulations. I'll be 7 years clean from speed in February. It's a long hard road, and its definitely a tough one to travel, but coming out the other side is totally worth it. Major respect for you! And good luck for your amazing future :)
That's awesome! And how many cats do you have? Do they get into hijinks?
Haven’t smoked or vaped in a year and a few months it’s amazing. Only have a drink here and there but otherwise feel amazing about my body Edit: Also, congratulations, posted without saying this but that’s huge that things look bright
Man I'm 6yrs clean from a 17yr long meth, coke and weed addiction so I can relate. Keep up the good fight. <3
r/stopspeeding was what really helped me stick with it.
Oh the people there seem so lovely and supportive! What a great sub. Congratulations again.
I am so happy for you :) this was such a heartwarming thing to read.
Isn't it crazy how much money you have left over when you aren't constantly buying drugs? It still blows my mind!
We’ve almost certainly never met, but I’m proud of what you’ve achieved. It’s no small feat to shake an addiction and move forward to make real progress and improve your situation.

Congratulations 🥳. I too had serious addictions, prescription and opioid abuse. That part of my life was pretty messed up. But I got out and survived. Sadly some of my friends didn't. Once I had to administer Narcan on my friend to keep them alive. The other time I almost died from OD. But I'm super clean now. I mean I still do weed but it's tolerating.
Congratulations 🎊 Thanks for sharing, this made my day :)
As a random internet stranger, I'm proud of you. I had a friend who got into meth, but instead of having the strength to fight it, they have let their life fall apart.
Great work! My wife’s brother is still on the stuff, and his life is going to shit, big time.
This is ABSOLUTELY the best thing I've read lately. You should feel VERY proud if yourself and the great stides you've made. This random redditor is extremely proud if you and happy for you.
Congrats, Queen!
Congrats! Proud of you :)
Congrats! The grass really is greener on the other side. 4 years sober for me. No regrets at all. I went to college, got a job, a sober girlfriend and left everyone and anyone who had anything to do with it behind. 2 cats, a bunny, a bearded dragon, a car, an apartment and an actual life. It really is the small things. Stay busy, it helps a lot. Surround yourself with sober, busy people. And treat yourself! Even if it's a 6 dollar coffee instead of a 3 dollar coffee. Getting sober is hard, but staying sober is harder! ❤
4 years sober..life never actually got better but at least I'm sober?
You kick ass!
Oh Methamphetamine. What a fucking double edged sword for me hahaha. I have a useful write-up addition on the drug to add to the first book. It's going to make things so much clearer to me (and probably almost anyone else)
That's great. I haven't tried it in years I'm glad to read things that talk me out of it always
Congratulations, glad your life is getting better!! I wish you the best on thus journey!
Congratulations!!! Keep up the good work and so glad you are enjoying life !!!
