6 days free !!!

I am so freaking happy that I have made it this far... Breathing easier now... Even though sleeping last night wasnt the best... But I am confident it will be better this evening... Still struggle on occasion for energy as my afternoons lack the needed focus... Hope that improves today as well... Once again... thank you to everyone for helping me through this needed change...

It is normal to feel apprehensive.  I sure did when I went to my meeting last week.  I was worried about who I would see there, would they know me, would I have to talk etc.

Well, I didn't see anyone I knew, everyone was super nice and supportive and I was told I didn't have to talk if I didn't want to.

Once I knew I could just sit and listen I was able to relax.  I'm going to actually try to talk next time ... not that you can tell on here but I'm actually really shy in person.  In groups of more than 2 people I clam up (which is why I am married to a very talkative man lol).  Sooooo this is going to be hard on two fronts...but I'm going to do it!

Just relax and go....no one is gonna bite you :-D

I want to go to an NA meeting so bad... but am so worried about pulling into the parking lot and walking through the door... Is it much simpler than I imagine... As my mind tells me that I will never feel better after leaving that meeting... Any thoughts on the apprenhension...

Congratulations on 6 days!  You may not think it is much but this is HUGE.  You are actually through the worst of the physical withdrawals.

Have you started thinking about aftercare?  Now is the time to start checking into NA meetings and whatever else you can do to help you stay clean :-)
