Big huge hugs, AJ, and hope you get a good night's sleep. Very difficult with pain I know, yet each day your body gets more and more accustomed to being without the pills. I hope your foot is feeling better.

Cornmeal is a course flour ground from American corn. To make hushpuppies you roll it into balls with onion and fry it. It is crispy on the outside and softer on the inside. They are served as a side with fish along with fries.

Muah and hugs,

Hope your feeling better.  Remember you are in control of you now, not your addiction.  When we get tired out and sore our brain will play games with us.  We dont play those games anymore, we deal with reality and our reality is staying clean another day.  You got this girl~~~sara

Mmm, I love fries! Typically in the US we think of chips as very thin, oval shaped fried pieces of potato that are very crunchy. I should have known that, though, because fish and chips means fish and fries. Do you make hushpuppies to go with fish? They are fried balls of cornmeal in batter with onion. Very yummy :)

Hugs,

AJ sorry you had a tough week and you are sore. The cravings suck, I am having them too. But taking a pill is not an option for us. You have been so strong and I know you've got this. Take care.
with love, Randy

AJ, so sorry you've had such a rough go of it. :(  I know how hard it is to do this with legitimate pain. I'll bet that rub felt heavenly. I am so proud of you for being so strong. You've got this, hun!

Muah and big huge,

Sooooo proud of you!!!!  Those cravings can be so intense but don't give in, those will fade away too!  I know it doesn't feel like it when one hits, but I promise you the more time that goes by, the easier it will get.  Something that I remind myself is that a pill or PILLS (because 1 is too many & never enough at the same time) won't really take the crave away, it will just keep those cravings alive & make them stronger. Your brain is just playing tricks on you right now because it doesn't understand wtf is going on, but it will catch up once it realizes you are not going to be feeding it anymore of that posion.  Stay strong, you are doing a wonderful job!
