Good morning all!!
6 solid hours of sleep last night!! It's a start!! (I DID take advil PM though! Haha is that cheating?)
For all those who sent me their warm wishes, THANKYOU!! It means so much to me to have others who know what I am going through root me on!! I refuse to be the victim anymore. Sure, life is hard. Hell, my life may even be SUPER hard, but that is life, and there is always others out there suffering far worse than me!!
As for aftercare, I have an appointment with a psychologist on Monday. I really don't think the group care is for me, because I am a rather private person (which is why this internet group is great for me, there is a sense of privacy!!) I think I have to work on my self-esteem that was so viciously tore down during my marriage.
7 days today and counting!!!!
Ahhhh I remember my very first clean week. Lol. The start of many many more for me each time tellign myself itnwas my last. What a joke. Hope you get some after help. Hope you do better them most of us myself included.
Congrats on one week clean!! You are doing great. Stay positive and keep moving forward.....sara
hey congrads on a week clean ...you have a great attitude about the whole prossess thats always a big help as for the sleep try a hot bath right b/4 you hit the bed that helped me
now is the time for aftercare....this shouldn't be looked at as optional ...it is a necessity to long term sobriety you might want to check out N/A or A/A and see how that goes for you if thats not a good fit try a substance abuse conslor one on one but all of these will help you learn the skills and tools it takes to lead a clean lifestyle good luck and God bless....Gnarly
Way to go on almost a week clean and glad your feeling good. It will keep getting better. Keep your guard up and beware of the pink cloud effect. Keep getting support and stay strong, you have a lot to look forward to now. Congrats:)
yeah but no sleep? I am on 7 nights now, and lossing my mind, My daughter told me I should stop driving cause I am seeing things.
haahha, so good reading your words :)
so there is the sun at the end of the tunnel, eh , great !
You are willing to tolerate the bad parts of detox knowing that the end result will be good.
That is so good of you because with an attitude like that you will not fail.
Just set up some type of aftercare and you are well on your way.
