Im still hanging in there..im still sooooo not myself..or am I myself..i forgot who the F I am.What do you say to all your clients,friends and family who are all asking whats wrong but u dont want to tell rhem the truth? I dont need people judging me ..i decided to just tell very few people.

Hey Bb im sorry to hear you sound down, you have 2 weeks behind your belt and thats awesome!!  Im on day 9 and have been living in the sun because it gives you natural energy.  Have you been taking any vitamins and eating well?  The hub has been feeding me little healthy meals all day and downing vitamins n fluids and im starting to feel great.
Its important to control your thoughts, when you tell yourself you feel better and act upon it you will.  Any time something negative creeps in stop it FAST and replace it with some thing positive. Our minds and bodies are amazing and WE control them. Lol
Lots of healing love your way,
shan

Was taking two vicodin every 6 hours. Was up to between 6 to 8 a day..i had a script from a doc and never doc shopped or bought off the street..just got tired of running out of my script and feeling like ****. Was doing this for about 3 years. I feel like my personality is gone..and am scared :( two weeks clean.

Your doing GREAT! I was one of those very private, secret detoxer's. Just my nature. With headaches being my worst symptom I told everyone I was having migraines which honestly was the truth. After the dust settled, I told a few people , but mostly was on this board non-stop. Keep it up, everyday will just get better!

I just told people who weren't that close to me that I wasn't feeling well.  Stomach bugs, mild cold or flu - and that would usually be enough to keep them from getting too close!  lol

But the people closest to me (hubby and my brother in my case) - knew exactly what was going on and thank goodness they left me alone when I needed them to - but I had to make myself accountable to those most important people in my life to keep going.  I could no longer trust myself or my judgment.  And it was key to my sobriety.
