So I got some wonderful words of wisdom yesterday from my counselor. I am going to pass it on hoping it may help even one person. Mornings are my hardest time. I feel like if I could get through the morning without Lortab, I can make it through the day. Today is day 8. It has been hard. I lay in bed in the morning and get overwhelmed when I think about all the things I need to do. My counselor told me, instead of doing a "to-do" list and then getting overwhelmed, write down things after you accomplish them. I find that I want to continue adding things to my list so I do more. My body aches, I just want to lay in bed but I can look at my list, see all that I have done and think to myself, I can do one more thing. As I looked back over yesterdays list, I find that I accomplished much more TODAY. This gives me hope for tomorrow. Hope this helps!
