Beginning Week 2

Beginning Week 2.  YEAH!...I feel pretty good.  Been Keeping really busy.  That is the key.  Working out.  Ive been cleaning my house.  Wow..amazing how much **** I let go and let pile up while on the pills.  Its nice to be back.  Back and Hip pain not so nice but it is alleviated with exercise and motrin so Im good to go.  I still think about the pills at times but know this is normal and I just keep remembering how much I hated being on them and hated myself.  I feel good.  I am beginning to like myself again.  Still regrets but that will come with forgiveness and reconnecting with those Ive neglected.  The clean me is a better me.  For all those struggling with the same hang in there.  It is so worth it.  You will feel better...Writing helps.  Even if its to yourself.  This forum has helped me and I thank everyone.

Hang in there. It is so worth it.  Keeping busy has helped me.  Walking, running, workingout.  And really the most that has helped has been purging the clutter in my life.  Its like out with the old.  Things need to be in order to focus and I felt and feel the clutter I let accumulate in my house was smothering me.  If you can clean out a closet, a cupboard.  Start purging whats holding you down.  The drugs are holding  you down so purge them.  Dont hold on to them. Let them go. One day, one minute, one second at a time.  Good luck I am here for you.  HANG IN THERE
