I guess whoever makes the next batch first is where I'll be heading! Let me know who finishes with it!. I'll be over tomorrow for supper!

[lostmarbles]

of course you're famous darling!!!

[Avalancheblanche]

Oh man!  Does that mean I'm famous? LOL!

[lostmarbles]

awwww thanks so much!!! you're a star!! I think you should post it too!!! its excellent, honestly we all talk about vitamins and bananas but I reckon that there are so many people here that are just about to taper or go C/T  and i think it's a fab idea if you put up your recipes of comfort food and people can prepare things before they do it!! I for one could not walk let alone cook when I was W/D... I should have made a whole batch of stuff just before!!!  you are now the official cook for the addicts!!! love you xx

Same thing here.  I was rarely sick with a cold/flu, etc. while I was using.  My three kids come home every winter, more than once, with colds at least.  It starts with one, and works it's way through the other two usually.  Within three weeks of getting clean, my 10 yr old son gave me my first cold in 7 years.  It wasn't that bad, but still, I was thinking...'Oh yeah, this is what a cold feels like, now I remember...yuck!'  Lol.  Then, two weeks later, both my sons got the flu, within a week of each other.  Their very first case of full blown flu.. headaches, coughs, moderate fevers, body aches, fatigue, everything.  My daughter and I never caught that, fortunately...go figure.  I was very surprised, as I cared for my sons round the clock...'fever watch' too all night.  Breathing in all those nasty little flu viruses.  I haven't had the flu in over 10 years...knock on wood!  I wonder if the meds we were using were so toxic & bad that even those evil cold/flu viruses didn't stand a chance in our bodies?  There's gotta be something to it.  We know how bad they are to us anyway.  Just my two cents...  

Oh yeah...I made home made chicken soup the other night.  Slow simmered in the crock-pot all day...delicious.  It definitley make you feel better, wether you have a cold or not.  Great idea, Avalancheblanche :)

[Avalancheblanche]

Did you get it?  What a great idea!  We could all contribute out detox foods!  I LIVED on that soup the first week of detox.  It is my favorite comfort food.  
I didn't know if I should post or journal it, so i just sent it to you in a pm. Love you too girl

[lostmarbles]

i am going to buy a chicken tomorrow!!!!! where's the recipe.... get writing missy... in fact you should post a recipe once a week!!  you should print up a cookbook and call it THE ROAD TO RECOVERY RECIPE BOOK, you can fill it with all your recipes and write in order of things we should be making and eating from the beginning of our taper plans, cold turkey and withdrawels.... im so serious, im going to get you in touch with my publisher!!!! love you!!

[Avalancheblanche]

OMG!  I will go and post the recipe now!  C'mon over everyone!  

[lostmarbles]

I never really thoughT about it til you just said it but yes I never got ill while I was on meds... how strange!!! but i reckon we all had a fake immune system because of them and now we are off them our immune system is suffering and so we get sick and THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME CHICKEN SOUP!!! AVALANCHE, CAN YOU HEAR ME??????

[Shattered]

Glad your doing well. You have been amazing getting thru that tough period. You are a strong girl!... have a great weekend lisa

[Avalancheblanche]

That is so cool that you are Mr. Mom.  When my girls were in pre school there were like 3 Mr moms dropping off and picking up.  It was so fun listening to them talk about thier house/kid duties!  It takes a special person to be home with the kids at all times.  When the kids were little, I would count the minutes until my husband got home!  It sounds like you are a wonderful Dad and husband.
Recipe is on its way in a bit.  I have to figure out amounts.  I am one of those cooks that doesn't measure anything....A little bit of this, a little bit of that....lol

[bmc1976]

Lisa......I noticed that too about never being sick while on the pills. I wonder if we were somewhat sick just didn't notice because we were too fuzzy headed! I have heard other people stating the same thing. I am so happy you were able to beat your addiction!

Avalanche....no, I don't watch soaps! I've been mr mom since I hurt my back in 2004. My son was 4 and daughter was 6 months at the time. I do all the cleaning, cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, running the kids around, and pretty much everything else that needs to be done around the house. I think it was the marine corps that helped train me for stuff like that! I was in the infantry and it wasn't just about guns, when we were back in the barracks our rooms had to be spic and span!
Do you mind sending that recipe to me too. That really does sound good! But you know, it always tastes better when someone else makes it! I'll be over around 6 tonight!

[taekwondo_fighter]

i said all that stuff to you last night.....  and i even said goodmorning this morning when the alarm woke us up....  i'm never ever right........  ;-)

[Avalancheblanche]

I'll pm you the recipe hun.  It is yummy!!  Sorry!!!

[lostmarbles]

Now you're just being mean!!! ok, i need the recipe for the soup!!! sounds yummy...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[toxictome]

[Avalancheblanche]

[liscamdave]

[Avalancheblanche]

Comin right up kids!  
I think that is so cool that you do the cooking.  I love to see that!  We will have to exchange recipes sometime!  Do you watch soaps too!?  LOL
lostmarbles, I ate if for breakfast lunch and supper yesterday!  So Yummy!

You know what is weird, the entire time I was on Oxy's, almost totaling 4 years, I rarely EVER got sick. I mean ever. And prior to my addiction, I got the flu and bronchotis at least twice a year, plus numerous colds. And when I was on the Oxy's I never got sick. But as soon as I stopped, I mean everytime I stopped, I got the flu, or a cold...or something. It was weird. Maybe it was just me, but I knew that everytime I stoped I was getting something.

Anyway, so sorry to hear that you are sick. But I am so happy to hear that you are on day 12. Keep it up. You can certainly do it. And we are here for you. Keep me posted my new friend...

Lisa

[bmc1976]

Better yet, we're heading to Avalanche's house for dinner!!!!!

[bmc1976]

Looks like you'd better make a double batch!!

[bmc1976]

I think it has made it easier knowing I have the flu! I know pills won't fix it so I haven't even thought about them.
You wouldn't mind whipping up another batch of chicken soup would ya! I do almost all of the cooking in our house and don't feel up to it! Everyone always seems surprised when I tell them that. I just say, you'd cook too if you wanted to eat! My wife can make a mean frozen pizza though!!! Just kidding, the things she does know how to make are excellent.
