six months today!

[perchance23]

Six months ago today I decided to take my life back!   It wasn't easy but it is so worth it!  Just one day at a time.  Im gonna keep fighting the good fight!  Thanks everyone for your support!

I would also recommend telling someone what u are going through.   I get the fear of judgement but the people in ur life are there for a reason.  You trust them to be your friend. Trust them with this.  Wouldn't you want to help a friend if you could.  These boards are great but it is even better to have someone to hug!  As gnarly says You have to be ok with not being ok.  And it is a process and you will get through it!  And it's Awesome on the other side.

I remember you perchance, during some tough days for me but I remember you.  I can't tell you how much better I feel reading how well you are doing.  You inspired me back then and you inspire me today.  Thank you.

I took all of the vitamins recommended in the readings.  I listened to my body as far as sleep and food.  I went for walks sometimes two and three times but a day.  That really really helped.  And I told my husband.  The hardest thing to do but SO worth the support.  And I just took life as it came.  I did a short taper with my doc and planned a time when I would have a few days off.  And kept telling myself over and over Just Keep Going.  The anxiety was the worst and I am still dealing with it.  Working with a counselor on CBT.  And living MY life!  You all can do this.  Just one hour.. one day or even minute by minute.

Living proof that we don't do this alone. Thank you for taking the time to share. I'm only capable of living in the day but you let me know that if I continue doing that they add up to a life worth living. Tx. Sharon

Thank you so much ricart!!! You helped me so much when I came here & I knew the things you were telling me came from someone who lived what I was living. An addict to an addict is about as real as it gets & I'm grateful to you and for you. I could never have done it without keeping it real. That's just me & you kept it 100% with me. I appreciate that more than you know.
