Asking for support/prayers

[lulu747]

Hi Y'all.  I know you've all given me wonderful advice about my sleep deprivation which I have both greatly appreciated and followed.  I unfortunately am still not sleeping and after a few restless hours awoke feeling horribly flu like.  I am giving a dinner party for 12 people tonight.  I am so weary.  I am still happy and positive and I know this has to work itself out eventually...That it's part of the process and I'm in this for the long haul.  I just want to ask for some prayers to help me get through this long day without having a meltdown.  I have been awake since 4 am and it's just after 8.  I have been clean for 26 days!  I also want to wish you all the healthiest and happiest New Year ever....You have no idea how greatly you've all impacted my life.  Deepest Gratitude and respect....Lu

I made it!  And it was one of the best meals and nights of my life...Since being off the opiates I am constantly surprising myself at how deep I can dig for strength....And also how wonderful life really is seen through clear eyes (though sleepy) I still haven't slept but the house is clean and I'm curled up and I'm not getting up until I've had some real rest.  Thank you all for your support and prayers...I can't express enough gratitude.  Happy 2012 all-it's going to be a great year....Lu

God bless you! God heard your prays and brought you here. I just finished a book called "Why Me God".One part said basically that God works through our weaknesses not our strengths for us to help others.So, whatever brought us here is proof of that. That we will share our stories and inspire another to post. Absolutely in my prayers and Keep going your doing AWESOME!

Thanks ladies...You have no idea how much I am drawing on your strength and inspiration...I didn't even know it was possible to be awake for this long...Am sweaty and shaky and feel like I have sand in my eyes...I hope I can pull dinner together.  It took me an hour to peel the potatoes(:  Thankfully it's all close friends who know my situation-not that they understand it....That's why i've got all of you...Happy New Years fellow soldiers....Lu
