Fellow Addicts.....
Greetings Forum Friends.
It's Day #5 for me. I'm grumpy--started my period and woke up to grey skies. Ugh.
Howz everyone out there? Who else is struggling in their first few weeks without drugs? Remind me. It'll help me if I can take you with me in my thoughts today. Sorry, too many ailing brain cells to remember where exactly everyone is in their struggle...and going back and reading earlier posts is to much for me.
I do know, though, that Avis is at 7 Days!! How are you doing there anyway Mrs. Avis? ? CONGRATS!
Today I'm just going to try to move through the sludge in hopes of a Better Life on the other side. But I really, really, really WANT IT NOW--there's my addicton rearing it's ugly head--That is, wanting a QUICK FIX followed by that nasty little habit of REACHING for a pill, drink, herbal extract, vitamin, supplement--ANYTHING to fix me and my emotional discomfort. Anything to avoid the pain of feeling.
My pray today: God, grant us the courage not to REACH for any unnecessary substance today.
Blessings to All of You,

Good to hear from you both.
DAY 8 Avis?! Amzing darlin. I like what you said about looking back to where you were a week ago ad that giving you strength to deal w/today. Good stuff.
I'm a Northern California Girl--I live way up high in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It snowed yesterday, but a week ago it was 70 degrees out--typical CA weather. I hear SC is a lovely place. Did you ever read the book Beach Music (I think that's the name)--I think it takes place there on the coast. The descriptions in that book gave me a very vivid picture of what it must be like.
Have a WONDERFUL day enjoying your new life.
