FOOD for thought...
So this can relate to any of you that are having a rough time "coping" with quitting cold turkey or going through whatever type of detox you are experiencing...
When you were taking whatever pills it was a day, how many pills it was a day, it wasn't YOU. You were only a "reproduction" of you, or living in a shell. When you have to take pills..to get moving..start your day, go to work, deal with your kids, deal with your "in-laws"..you aren't dealing at all. You're just giving them an image of you. I know. I was there 18 days ago. I'm not saying I won't go back, because I can't foresee the future, to tell myself what it will bring me. BUT I can tell you..when I look into my 4 children's eyes, I have this little voice that's saying, "You are NOT addicted to vicodin ANYMORE!" And THAT feeling is why you KEEP moving forward. If your on day 1 or day 20..its the same. Pills kept you a prisoner in your own body. It controlled a part of you or all of you. But be happy...because now You and I are BACK in control. You are no longer a puppet. You are free.
You may not feel it now, but thd gratification you will feel..knowing you are FREE will be amazing. A good quote from a very respected man in the military, mu brother told me, "People ask me how I do what I do, and I always tell them its simple. I BELIEVE IN ME."
Just some food for thought for all of us...they say those who can overcome addiction are some of the strongest people to live...I believe it...do you?
