my story

hello, I'm gonna tell my story on my lucky number day :) well it all started for me 4 years ago my dad was told he had cancer and wasn't going to live a year, they of course gave him pain pills for the pain and he didn't want them he always said he didn't like feeling loopy! well you know who took one for a good ol stress headache i had that day and wow i felt great all of the sudden i didn't have a care in the world. well three months and two days later my dad was gone. so instead of dealing with the pain i took the pain meds! one year after my dad passed away my brother was caught up in a bad situation and now hes lost his life. meanwhile six months ago i made a choice to sell my house of 9 years and move to a small town....had to be the pills because now that I'm no longer using I'm like what  was i thinking!!  and the only thing i can come up with was well i wasn't! so now here i am left with a big mess!  all the pain iv tried to cover up has hit me all at once!  on a good note and there is one thank god!  I'm starting to feel better and i can think a little better, plus i hear my kids when they talk. and i might even live to see how they do in life.:)  its hard at times because no one knows about my problem I'm really bad with communication.  you guys who left post for me on here while i sat and cried thank you so so much it really did help, i read a post that said  "STOP FEEDING THE HUNGER AND THE CRAVING WILL GO AWAY" i kept that in mind and it really helped a lot and its true!   i know i have a long road ahead of me but I'm gonna keep up the fight and i hope you all do also!   today the sun is shining!

Don't hide your emotions and your feelings now..  don't numb them nor hide from them... keeping them inside us sooner or later, get loose inside us and yeah, i was bad with communication too , no surprise cause i used to numb everything with pills but it is good that we can learn a lot of those things we are not good at, maybe we will never become masters  but we can do them much better , go for it and keep your spirit and hopes high, work on yourself , go for aftercare while walking  this road and Congrats on your clean time !! :)
