yeah, and they deserve to have you with a clear mind.  they did not sign up for a dad on drugs...  and you sound like a good guy....

just tell them you have the flue if you have to, and gut it out.  trust me, liife is soooooooo much better with a clear mind.  especially watching your children.

we got your back buddy - just keep posting.

oh sweety... i am so so sorry...

listen, just plow thru!!!!  i know that's easy for me to say, but it is this way for EVERYONE the first few days.  everyone.

and if everyone else can do it, so can you.

just know these few days you're gonna feel really crappy, not sleep great, etc.  but in a few days you are going to come out of the fog, i promise.

just do it now.  if you even take half you're just going backward.  and you will ultimately have to do this again anyway if you just don't plow thru now.

i PROMISE YOU it will get better in a couple days, I promise.  if you know it's not forever it really helps.

i'm sorry if no one posted to you earlier today... :-(  looks like not alot of folks are on this side tonite.  if you can just get thru the nite, post again in the a.m. - either here or the other side and there will be many of us to help you thru.

you can do it.  you really can.  this will pass really really soon, and i promise you won't die.... we all felt the same way.

good luck friend.. stay strong.

warmly,
mj
