Well i dont think i will be going any where but my NA meetings and work. I dont care about the headacheas eather I will deal with them cause I know they will go away soon enough. Made it through day 10, and just got back form a meeting. Feeling pretty good now. I am starting to see I'm getting head aches due to not eating as much as i need to eat. I got so use to not eating but 1 time a day at night after the methadone wore off and I had it in my head that I wasnt hungry unless I was smoking first and while eating. BUt hey I;m taking it one day at a time and just not using at all nothing. I mean it is diff. beinf clean i mean it has to be 12 years since i have had 10 days clean. And I agree with every one that said it gets better and better each day. I still get aches I still get headaches. But they are not so bad and i'm able to get through them with out using anything which is awesome. I start step 1 on tuesday with my sponser and I meet with him this week to talk about WHO IS AN ADDICT! Which I know I am I dont need any one to tell me this. I KNOW I"M A ADDICT WITH A DISEASE THAT IS TREATABLE. I cant be cured but I can be given the choose not to use. I hope all out there that is trying to get right are doing good. And for those who arnt sure what they want right now I hope you the best and will always pray for the addict that is suffering in and out the walls of NA. GOD BLESS you all and will be in my prayers.
thanks for sharing.
you can go to the betty ford clinic for 10 months, it wont mean squat if YOU dont accept that you can no longer use pills.
I know I finally decided that I was either going to die trying or be clean, and I won so far and am convinced I will continue to win,all the time without replacement opioids or any other crud, regardless if I got the worse migraine ever or WHATEVER !!
another example of the system.........more like system of a down !!!
Well today is day10 and wow it does get better. I'm not saying I'm completly 100% but I was able to get up today without feeling sick went to bed with the worst migran in the world. But hey 1 day at a time is all we can do. Well I checkj back in later going to go work for 2nd day woohoooo
awsome story, be proud and keep sharing, i am sure you help many..
What an inspiring story! Be proud of yourself!
It is soooo interesting to hear your story about our system/government/health care professionals WANTING to PUT us on SOMETHING ELSE to get OFF of SOMETHING ELSE! MY GOSH... we hafta be the most DRUG ADDICTED NATION in the WORLD!
"Here... take THIS TO GET OFF THIS!"
And... also frightening to hear your story about your Rehab experience.... that they just put you on MORE DRUGS in order to GET OFF DRUGS! I just don't GET it!
Thanks for sharing your story and PLEASE keep posting.. as you are an INSPIRATION to many!
Thats awesome glad to hear you are working the steps. My self my sponser told me to start by not using at all. Day 9 clean. Its not easy but every day it gets bettter and better. I mean today was first day back to work and it was hard. But I keep telling my self its ok one day at a time. He also has me reading Who is an addict from the na book. Its crazy you never thing you would be an addict just cause you used meds gave by the doc. But that is where we are in life I guess. Its all money I think. Why else would they give us synthetic heron or synthetic meth to us for pain. Then on the other had think of this Who invented methadone? HITLER thats some crazy stuff. And to think that i was told they want to change methadone from the treatment to recovery for addicts to the actual recovery. What!?!?! Ya thats what us addict need meds given to us for life for no reason other then you where addicted to pills of heron. I dunno someday maybe this country will wake up and get off alll the pills.
i agree, i also tried methadone, suboxone, laam, revia, anyi-depressants
aa chemical peace of mind never last, soon all of us must face our demons
congradulations on your new life, you are a great inspiration, i have started a 12 step forum here at med help that will include information on several types of 12 step recovery, i hope you add something
I agree I mean I looked for it and it was not there and then a few minate's later there it is that is awesome. thanks for the feed back and i will make sure I keep in touch with the postings.
