isn't it funny how wrong we were while taking pills about the impression we were making in the others ?
we thought we were controlling things and nooo way...haha
i even find myself that i'm better lookiing now when i have a mirror in front of me and i've started hating mirrors with the pills.... i realise i'm becoming again my old self..so good the feeling!
I relapsed taking a couple for a job interview and guess what. I felt the interview went well and did not get the job. Taking a pill will not get you the job. Please reach inside yourself and look at all of the qualifications you have for this job. You wouldn't be getting an interview if they weren't interested. You don't want to get readdicted and you also may need to pass a drug screen that you don't want to have to worry about.
Go for that walk, breath deep, be your own cheerleader and talk yourself into being the best possible candidate for that job. We will always have stressful situations that make us feel we need a pill bc we're not good enough wo one. That's your addiction talking. Get through these tough situations wo pills and you will grow your confidence. GBU, Corey
so you came back with a job, stronger and happier... good day afterall. congrats for the job, h.
Thanks again prolly woudnt have made it through the day with out you. I did go to the interview i had to breath in my nose and out my mouth i even had to start count back words but i made it through. I could have gotten the job but he wanted me to work nights no thanks. And before the interview i stoped at a friends bakery for some encouragment and she offered me a job if this didnt go through i would work mornings and be of at 3 with my hubby. Too good to be true. I worried all morning for nothing im glad its all over.
of course, all the luck, heathag !!
you'll come back with a job or not ... who can knows? , but whatever happen today, you'll come back stronger because you are doing it without those bloody pillssss !!( remember it, ok ? )
Thank you everybody for your advice. I took a couple of vitamins i found in the house i might stop by the drug store and get the rest. Well gotta go to my interview wish me luck! Im sooo damn nervouse!
yeah, valerian is really helping me now with sleeping and anxiety. And whenever i'm feeling more nervous i start counting very slowly ( i've made thousands all in all but i'm really keeping my anxiety waves at pace , it's a sort of mental disguise, hah, and it's working for me when i'm in a situation that i can not walk, exercise..etc )
what theeagle has told you about aminos is great, they're are doing the differences too for me. At first, you will be overwhelmed by the information, the amount of pills and stuff. Keep it simple too. And as he said , wait to become famliiar to them and what your body needs. If you're tight with the money, you can start with the vitamins-minerals, and the b's and give a try to valerian ( did't know about the valium name, interesting ) .
and think that anxiety is an everyday issue for everybody ( life is hard for any of us) , addicts or not, so we'll have to learn how to deal with it with our innerstrengh sooner or later , it's a long, long run so don't become depressed for those things, ok?
Valerian root is good (name Valium came from it) - Kava Kava is another - Kratom tea works wonders (even keeps w/d's away for hours) -
Make sure you are getting enough vitamins. Good B complex - maybe sublingual B12 - good multi - high c - fish oil caps - gingko biloba - many others.
Get the amino acids in your body - check lower rt hand side of page for particulars on Amino Therapy. Do them. But by all means read up on them and become very familiar with the things your body needs to run on ........... and your head stays clear on!!!
I found a work out thing on you tube thats not too hard i did that and i felt alot better. I try the taking deep breaths in and then blowing out my mouth it helps a lil but maybe if i count to it would help more. How long will this last. Is it going to be a premint thing?valerian root what is that and where do ya get it?
maybe some valerian root ? and apart from walking, try also to make some breathing exercises to stop panicking and becoming more nervous. i start counting and breathing veeery slowly then i'm concentrated in something mental and "physical " and whatever yoou find that works as a trick , keep it as simple as possible . Sometimes cravings or thoughts start running but i can not think about anything else deeper than 1, 2, 3, 4.....and it's working for me to keep those "waves" behind (til the next haha ) . good luck
Yeah i think your right. I keep on thinking that if i do get the job that there will more than likely be sombody that does drugs. And how am i supposed to say no when i know i want to say yes. Im really tripping out today maybe i should have held off on the job. THis seems like so much and i know its not that big of deal. I got some green tea im drinking this stuff doesnt taste very good. MIght try a walk after a shower. thank you for the advice.
a long walk...brisk work out will help...theanine or some real green tea from an oriental market....getting busy with something else to take ur mind off of it helps too...also..for me when i have been down and out and in need of a job, convincing myself that if i dont get the job, then it wasnt the job for me..and that another is around the corner...that way i do not feel so pressured...God has a way of taking care of us when we are doing the right thing...He will keep you safe....the job will be yours or not depending on if it is in the cards for you....take the pressure off of urself as it is in ur control to calm down and be ready and interview at ease...good luck and let us know how it goes
