DOWN FOR THE COUNT

Literally..after a weekend 3-day relapse and some very inappropriate behavior on my part. I left the doctors today with a 102 temp and tested positive for strep and the flu (not swine). I have not worked since monday and will be out til next monday. lesson learned. God is literally forcing me to take a time out. Im climbing back on the horse and ready to beat this addiction once and for all. Today would be day 3 since last used. Just wanted everyone to know where i was at since last you heard i relapsed

Sorry bout the relasp i had 1 in apr, they suck but its not the you fell down but how you get up. You cant go and take the relasp back, so put it behind you and keep going. And the flu i hope you get well fast. Good luck

Hey B-kitty!!!  I sure hope you are manageing to take care of yourself?  The flu! dang I was hopeing that the season was about over!!!!  Am glad it wasn't the swine( not suposed to call it that but I can never remember the numbers they call it ) lol

Sorry about your relaspe too. I know it is tough when you're trying to work too.  And the energy thing really makes it miserable.
Well, hugs to you,  post often and get well soon!
