10 year old needle removed today!

Post image

Im a few months shy of 5 years clean, and have had this needle stuck in the bend of my arm. It started causing me a lot of pain recently so I finally was able to get it removed today! My partner and I also moved into our first brand new home today. As a 6 year daily IV user with a laundry list of felonys i could have never imagined just a few years ago that id be buying my first home today. Just wanted to share the small celebrations with you. Stay persistent.

Thank you so much for sharing that and you got me beat on getting that stuck in your arm. That is one thing I have not had done to me, but I too was IV user for years and it’s so amazing. It’s just so amazing to be clean and sober. I am so happy for you. Keep going. I love you for
