thanks think when he gets back ill suggest we take our daughter and go do something fun together tommorow...hes been soo great I feel im letting him down...as far as exercise goes ive done some not much some situps its been hot (thats an understatement) so not so much outside going to try to start some type of "plan" tommorow maybe start a 10-20 min walk and just increase...we did get out for a bit today went to eat..havnt put any makeup on or did my hair since i started all this maybe make myself get up in the morning and "get ready" maybe will help me feel more attractive because I feel I look like death...my oldest is 7 shes been at her grandparents didnt want her to see me like this she starts school in a couple weeks and the thought of having to enroll her shopping ect. just overwhelms me right now..missing her want to be a good mother want them to be proud..I know I can do this just venting here seems to be helping..finding it hard to talk to bf about what im feeling how im doing when he asks i usually just say ok wish that was true, did tell him I wanted to get high so bad yesterday that I just rocked in place for a while but I didnt get high and although a small victory, a victory none the less...thanks for reading and repling to my ramblings feel like a lune at times...thanks again!!!

It's totally normal not to wanna be around people right now that you dont know, I was the same way, and I knew the people! You jst want to feel better with yourself before you entertain others, and that's perfectly normal! It will pass in time. You have to kinda relearn how to do alot, but in time, it all will :) I am about to go on my 1st vacation tomorrow with other peopl, this is my 1st adult vacay sober!! So I am excited/nervous, but mostly excited cause it is HOT! I need some wate rto splash around in! lol

IH hey your doing well it was all I could do ust to get off the couch at 10 days try a little light exorsize like a walk around the block it does help you can build up your walks from there but if you move around it dosent seam to bother you as much .....this is a traumatic experience your putting your brain and body threw you dont come snaping back like on pills methadone is in a league by itself you just gto to take the good with the bad and it can take a wile to get to the good....remember attitude is everything my wife use to force me to walk and run errands with her so I would get out of the house im so sorry you passed on the fishing it would have doney you good to get out in the fresh air and a balll cap is all you need to cover a bad hair day try your best to run your life as noramal as possible just dont sit around and wait to get better you may be waiting a long time you need to function as best you can fake it till you make it cheer up your are better then day 2 keep posting for support I know just how lousy this stuff is coming off in a word it su cks
hang in there it will get better good luck and God bless.....Gnarly
