Nothing works
I have tried it all. Cant afford rehab or suboxens. I guess eventually it will end my life. Dont know wny but my mind just doesnt get it. sorry folks. Been at this for 2 years. Nothing works for me
Some good news. I have and appointment tomorrow for counseling. I told them I have no insurance and they got me in asap.
I am up and beginning day 3. Getting ready to make some phone calls. Will check back later and let you all know what I find out. Hugs to all of you for not giving up on me
Dede-
I just wanted to add my voice to the cheer section for you! Can you hear it??? You are doing amazing darlin'. Whether you realize it or not right now, you are saving your life. The true genuine love that you have in your soul is speaking up and demanding that you claim your life back from the drugs. Always believe that you can do this! You can and you are! The voices in your head that say you are worthless, that too much has gone down, that you are beyond help- that is all just noise. You can silence it by acting out of love for yourself. I promise you that if you reach out, ask for help, surrender, you will be supported- ALWAYS.
In my first couple of months of sobriety I looked to this quote- A LOT (still do in fact)
'We make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.'- Carlos Castanada
The way to get strong is by being gentle with yourself. Treat yourself with the same amount of love and compassion that you treat your little grand baby with. You deserve it darlin', you do.
Wishing you peace tonight...

Clean for two days? And you were doubting yourself? In a very, very short period of time you'll be out of the physical detox crap. You are close.
And as the physical stuff subsides, so does the anxiety. It will pop it's ugly head up from time to time, but is manageable.
If you can keep your mind occupied that will help. I watched lots of stupid TV and movies; I stayed on this forum and read and posted and complained.
Give it time. We're here.

You are doing great, i know the anxiety is a b!t ch, try to take some deep breaths, illl tell ya what worked best for me was a long hot shower, i would just stand in there and let the water run, it helps i promise. Also a bath, that works too. Keep up the good work, try some sleepy time tea and get all cozy in bed.
