You are doing SO GOOD!!! I'm so glad you were honest with your daughters and that you HAVE THEM!!! Hope you're enjoying your day~
Hey congrats on day 6 your doing great enjoy your day with the girls I also have a very supportive family....NOW.... time to google a few meetings just because you stop the pills does not equal recovery you still stuck with the addict in your head N/A is the only progam I know of that with time can actually help you loose the very desire to use....I have been clean since sept of 09 and still hit 4 meetings a week I have developed some great clean friends and the meetings will give you somewhere to share where people will understand this is a critical part of recovery...you never have to use again.....Gnarly
Congrats honey! You GOT this!
Oh boy girl ....you sound good. Have a nice day with your girls.
Thank you everyone, I am doing much better this morning. Happy to see it is day 6. Just freaked myself out last night pretty bad. I got myself so worked up that it exhausted me and I actually slept on and off all night! I called my daughters last night and told them how scared I was and they are coming to spend the day with me today. I am going to shower, get dressed, and get the hell out of the house with my daughters for the day. My youngest is driving 4 hours to get here today. I am truly blessed to have 2 wonderful supportive children on my side. They want their momma back and I will not disappoint them!
Hey Patty! Congrats on Day 6!!! Our brains can do nasty things to us!!!! Please listen to what others have said about getting to a meeting! It really will help your thinking!!! I go to the meetings online when I cant get to a face to face one and that really helps! Here are the links for them.... AA...http://www.aaonline.net/chatguests.php and NA http://na-recovery.org/na-recovery_mibbit.html The AA one had people in it 24 hours a day and can be really helpful when my brain starts going crazy!!! It doesnt take the place of a face to face meeting but it sure helps!!!
Keep hanging on there and keep on posting here!!!!
Hey Patty. It's right now time. Stay with us and just take time as it comes to you. Try to forget about tomorrow for now. Think of the reasons you put down the drugs and are starting on your new life. We have to remember the bad days so we can think of the great days that's just ahead. Regroup and get tough. The addict brain can creep in and tries to control you. Don't let it. Don't give it the power. You can do it! Keep posting and we all will get you there....ike
hey Patty i still have days that freak me out for that reason, but i agree, it's just a day. what you need to do is keep plenty of support around you tomorrow, whether it's going to a meeting or staying on here and keep posting for support. when i was going from 60 to 90 days i really freaked out because in the past i have relapsed SO many times around that period. what i did was go to a lot of meetings and share about that, as well as talk to as many people as I could one-on-one. it really helped me get through those times. I know you can do this!!!
But there will be a meeting tomorrow. You need to get yourself in there before the mental part of detox over takes you. Just breath through it tonight. Listen to music,watch a funny movie.
its ten thirty at night where I live. There are no meetings around here at this hour. And I think I'm ok, just freaked out for a few. And yes I made it so I can't get anything just for times like this.
It's just a number hun, and with no mentioned symptoms it really sounds like the number six is getting you down and doing your head in because of images you have yourself attached, not because of any tangible reasons.
What you can do to control these fears are to look at and to observe them. When you see a thought for what it is, the mind then naturally brings itself under control. Trying to control thought through will never works because you cannot logically tell something that doesn't stop thinking to stop thinking.
Patty, firstly, go to a meeting tonight. That's why they exist!
Also, you told me that you had zero contacts. So, why are you worried? Your attaching meaning to day 6 when it has no meaning. It's just the next day. Your brain is going haywire right now, you are detoxing. You can't believe anything you feel or think.
