Six Months Today

"I was a heroin addict, and I have six months clean today."
"So what made you take your first hit of heroin?"
"I became addicted to a drug called Suboxone that I got prescribed by a doctor because I was in pain with my knee, and when they cut me off, I had no way of not being sick. I found out through a friend that it was basically like doing heroin, so that's what led me on to doing that."
"What was your first thought this morning when  you woke up and realized that you had six months sober?"
"I was happy that I didn't have to wake up sick."
