feel as though i am about to lose

Question

What if I am not ready for this.  I am so sick.  I hate this.  Is there anyway I can tell myself its ok to take something.  Just to take the edge off. Perhaps I didnt bring my tolerance down as I should have.
Maybe in another month.  I am going to disappoint so many people just to be able to take care of my family.  They are having a hard time with me lying around today.  Perhaps I should go down further before I do this detox.  I would rather not make it through day 1 than get to 2 or 3 and something happen.  I am trying not to listen to my brain but maybe I shouls go to rehab

Hi there. What day are you on? It takes a while before you get energy. I know the feeling just moping all day and everyone keeps asking are u ok? and you just want to snap and say leave me the f**** alone. Been there, done that....it gets better - know two things:

1) you are doing it for you

2) you are doing it for your family

think of what they are going through as what are you stay strong it will get better.

kind regards

It is really hard for the first 5-7 days. You have to struggle and my heart goes out to you. Just get through it hour to hour. You are going to feel so good when your head starts to clear. Focus on your recover and nice things are in store for you.

Bless you,
Tim

It would be good for us to know how much how long and be specific, (I remeber I didn't want to come clean thinking there was some officer waiting to arrest me), but actually it's just people helping people getting clean here.
