Super HARD day!!!

[sodonemom]

I'm only at the 48 hour mark and feel REALLY horrible! Can't really describe one thing it's just everything! I am not going to cave. Not this time ok? This time I'm gonna make it right? I can't do meetings. I live in a small town (Canadian not that it matters) where everyone knows everyone, almost.

Good luck to all of us fighting tonight! Hope tomorrow is a better, clean day!

I'm super super sick. Can hardly type. I just want to go to bed. But I can't sleep. I have nothing to help. I think I'm too sick to find pills if I wanted to.

I am stunned at the amount of support pouring in by everyone. I don't feel like I deserve it cause I wanna cave, bad.

Day three done. Yay. Good night. Please pray for me. I will pray for you too.

Hi there & Congrats on your approach to 72 hrs.!!

AWESOME work!! You're gonna' be the hump pretty soon. I know that time is crawling for you right now but try not to look down that tunnel & psych yourself out. Try not to think of things in terms of hours or days or weeks. All you have to get through is just this present moment. Take deep breaths & redirect when you're feeling physically & emotionally overwhelmed.

I promise you that your symptoms will abate & that if you stick with it, when you look back, your acute w/d's will seem like the twinkling of an eye. You & your loved ones deserve this!! So, my friend, keep your eye on the prize. Stay with us! We're here & we're pulling for you :))

WOW!!!  SO proud of you!  The others are right, This is where its the worst and soon you will start to feel much better.  Just hang in there!  I know its torture but just keep telling yourself that you are already halfway there.  If you cave now you will have to start all over from the beginning.  So just hang in there.  Just baby yourself right now.  You are doing a very hard thing.  You are going to have to do some kind of aftercare but I wont even get into that right now because the thought of that can be pretty overwhelming when your in withdrawals and the last thing you need is more anxiety.  So when you're feeling better you can think about that.  I'm so proud of you!  Now your kids will have their REAL mom back.  Not just a shell with pills living inside.  Keep going!!!  Your doing great!!!

Just keep moving forward and do all the right things in a Healthy way for your Brain & Body.
I too live in a very small town and I do not see anybody outside these meetings and I go to both AA/NA. Even if I had not had a drink in over 9-10 years..Just sub one for the other. Those meetings are suppose to be confidential and what is said there is to stay there..WE have to have support..This is a WE thing not a ME thing because the ME thing gets us trouble all the time..Just hang on tight and this all will pass as each day goes by. Surrender to this process..Soon you will balance out.
Bless

Good job making it to 48 hours. I hit rock bottom last week. I am only on day 5. You can do it if I can. There is no point in turning back now. I just found this website and it seems like everyone is going through alot of the same issues. It helps me so much to know other people have made it through. I had everyone pretty much fooled, then I relapsed and almost overdosed. You are alive, even if you feel bad, at least you CAN change and get better. I have a 6 year old who's mom is in jail for manufacturing of meth. I'm all the lil dude has. Keep pushing, find faith, and keep your mind busy. All smooth from here.

Oh yes you can do this. If u are tired just sleep. Lay down be lazy. Follow that Thomas recipe. But meetings are so so important. I went while I was detoxing and it have me such hope. I'm on day 17 and last nite I slept. Finally. Up until this morning I had to force myself to function, today I actually want to function. You are almost past the nasty part.  You may not have an appetite for a while but force yourself to eat. Your body needs fuel.
