Cravings!!!!!!!!!!!

[sky_is_the_limit]

You would think it would just get easier and easier to stay away from pills but I still find myself waking up in the mornings craving them. What an addiction! I have laid so many different drugs down and this has to be the hardest addiction that I have ever battled. My Daddy always told me you have to pay to play and in most cases I think that is the truth. I just hope that these cravings are not my punishment for the years of abuse that I have put my body through.
You all are an inspiration to me and thanks for your kind words.

In my last post I spoke of a picture that represented my cravings, well that picture has been changed so strike my last post. Anyway Pheohmoon and I are on day 16 away from suboxene and the cravings are getting better and less severe and also less frequent. Again thankyou everyone for your support.  It has helped me through so much and we really appreciate it.

This picture always reminds me of the cravings and the pill monster that is stuck inside me trying to get out.

Great advice on writing a goodbye letter  to drugs
Thank you Sara

[IwillQuit2]

Sara, I want to thank you for the advice on writing a letter goodbye to my pills.   Day 15 and going strong, just battling a really bad URI of some sort..... At any rate I was talking to my husband the other night about how I need to find my friends again.  What a GREAT thing to do!!! Write them a goodbye letter!!! I replaced my friends one by one with pills, not to mention at times they were a lot of other things to me including at one point (a couple years back)my unattentive and unavailable husband.  He's been very supportive of me and unbelievably proud that I am so strong, but WE know it's a battle. But a battle so worth winning.

Thanks for replying.

Suboxone is working for me, yes. I don't get high but I don't get sick. I mess up on my dosage sometimes. I take a little extra because I can't seem to get it into my head that no matter how much you take, you won't get "high". Its the addict mentality that more is better. not in this case.

I am starting counseling for the first time in my life on Tuesday.

Please let's keep writing to each other. I realize everyone doesn't have time like me to be at the laptop all day. But, it's appreciated. It's a little lonely sometimes. Everyone goes about their lives and I am here with a wheelchair next to my bed. Hey, good thing I have a big house. Going to the kitchen is my trips for the day.

I am an amputee, 67 yrs old on Suboxone, fighting a pill addiction.

Any words written to me are appreciated. I am home 90% of the  time and get depressed.

Love to all

Its getting easier everday the further away from suboxene that I get. Sh_t almost ruined my life. the doctors made it sound safe with little to no side effects! LIARS! But anyway, I thankyou guys so much for your support. I hope that I can be there for you guys like you have for me.

sara, you are right...although I have never applied that logic to drugs, it certainly is therapeudic for me to write my feelings down even though I am not going to give it to anyone...It gets things off your chest.
I am going to do that and I am sure sky_is_the_limit will do the same...
Thanks - all of you guys are awesome and we depend on you as if you are family...moreso than any of you could know.
Hope you have a great evening.
Peace

Have you ever sat down and written a goodbye letter to the drugs?  I did that pretty early on in my recovery and it was very healing for me.  You might want to try that.     sara

Great ..... Talking about prayer I have added a little request in my prayer I am amazed....
That I be aware of moments though out the day of little amazing synchronism's that make my day flow just the way it suppose to. Like the other day, I ran into my son(27) driving down the street(20 miles away) just a coincidence maybe, but 1 min either way we would have missed each other. Certain plans changing and seeing how it worked out better
G,ood
O,rderly
D,irection.... I can live with that
Peace & Love

We have put ourselves through so much...and the mornings are rough - I am just so thankful that we have each other because there are so many people having to go through this alone.
It is time to clean the dust from out alter and get some more candles...we can beat this.

[sky_is_the_limit]

Thanks for your support man. My spirituality will carry me through the depths of hell and right back out. I find myself dropping my gaurd in the mornings. I have prayed through it and feel much better now. Your right man, sky is the limit. Or maybe even higher.
