      So Im coming up on two years of being sober. I think ive mentioned parts of it in different threads but to fill you guys in, back in 2005 i became friends with a guy who i lifted with and got caught up selling/using oxycodone. I then became a horrible addict for eight years. I had gone through spurts of sobriety but for only a few weeks. Its now been something like 20 months and this past year i cant even begin to tell you guys how much my life has turned around. First i was hired at a tech company here in tampa, won $30k through a charity giveaway, bought a bike, re-dedicated myself to the gym and started fashion modeling. As of yesterday I moved into a house right next to my job. Instead of driving 50min to work now i drive about 15min and its absolutely wonderful.

      Friends and girlfriends will come and go but having an amazing christian family that has stood by me this whole time has been a miracle. I was that guy who couldnt even dream to live without being on pain killers everyday and i felt hopeless, now looking back and using doesnt even cross my mind EVER is something i never thought i could obtain.

      Thank you guys for always posting good info, FG has been one of my favorite sites to be on and be involved with. I appreciate everyone's advice and help on my threads. Im 33 and still on the quest to be in the best shape of my life. My goal is by 35 to be in the fitness modeling industry so until that happens my motto is "whatever it takes" to reach my goal.

      I just wanted to share that with you guys!

      good for you hick.. I know those things are hard to beat and your a better person bc you beat them..and its easier for you to help others bc you've been there and done that and you can tell them first hand it can be bc I did it..

      you are who you hang out with. life is that simple.. if you hang out with drug user you will be one maybe not today but one day you will be.. you hang out with successful people then you will one day be one...

      Totally true, surround yourself with positive successful people and those attributes will rub off on you.

      That's awesome brother I know exactly where your coming from. When I got hurt docs sent me to a pain clinic which turned into 10yrs of meds and me being a addict but blaming on doctors. It is not a easy thing I decided to change things also about 3 yrs back now and it was the best decision I ever made. I don't even mind the pain anymore. I have lots of respect for you Hick keep going a day at a time.
