Day 5 sober from norco

[Dixiechick72]

Hello hello. Ok so day 5 is here. Terrible night trying to sleep. I think I took like 8 bathes yesterday last one 1 am. Ugh I want sleep!!! It's a little too early to see how I'm feeling cause right now I'm sleep deprived. It also doesn't help that good ole aunt flo is in full gear ahead. I need some pamprin

Minn that stuff is too funny. First my brother became obsessed with kiss And spent every penny he had on kiss. Now my youngest 14 started doing the same thing... So I know what u mean. That's too cool u have a room dedicated to them!!!

Right backatcha! I was lucky enough to meet the band a few years ago. I even have a KISS room that hubby painted for me in the official KISS flame orange red and all my vintage stuff is displayed. I have a framed 1978 KISS Grooves calendar, metal lunch box with thermos, metal trash can, remote control van, game, puzzles, you name it. Lol, I guess you can tell I spent all my allowance on KISS stuff!

Lmbo!!! Yes 40 is the new 30!!! So they say. I was at my finest at 32. My goal is to get back to that. Hi minn I've missed u today!!!
My son loves kiss!!! See minn find all the positive in any negative!!! Love ya minn!!!!

You can be whatever age you want!!  I'm not real fond of this "going south" era i am in!!!  

[minn66]

40 is the new 30 or something like that ;) So, I am really 36!

[dominosarah]

Ya what minn said!!  40 is still just the pup stage!!

[minn66]

I love KISS, my favorite band ;) I'll bet you looked cool.

I remember well the days when it was all I could do to take a shower. Dressing and doing your hair and make up does wonders but dang it, why does it have to be such an effort?!

Hush Dixie, 40 isn't old. Like a fine wine, one gets better with age!

[dominosarah]

I bet your skin is looking better everyday.  Keep a watch on that and notice the comments you will get from other people.  I couldnt believe how many people told me how i had color in my skin again.  We have the color of an elephant during our using days.

[Dixiechick72]

Awe Sarah!!!  Well I felt good enough so I just made myself do it.  Figured I gotta get back into the swing of it u know???  So I did it. ;) thanks for sharing.

[dominosarah]

During my detox all i could muster up was a shower.  Didnt do my hair or put any war paint on.  On day 7 i was meeting my grandson so thought i would at least put some mascara on and try to look presentable.....EPIC FAIL!  I was still shaking so bad that i looked like i was trying out to be a member of KISS!!  I had mascara down to my dam chin!!

[Dixiechick72]

I'm trying to!!! My body feels old. Oh wait cause I'm almost 40!! Ha ha. I am old... Lol. No really I'm trying so hard to be normal.  Plus I feel bad my family has seen me looking like crap all week!!

[smiles4eva]

Look good feel good :)

[Dixiechick72]

Just saw my typo. Meant to say I did my hair and make up today!! Makes more sense

[Dixiechick72]

K can I add this to my list of accomishments please... Ok I have long hair. I've been doing the white trash thing all week. Throwing my hair up however.  If u don't like it dont look. I have wavy hair that I can dry straight. I didn't my f ing hair and make up. Little maybe even petty but a big step for me ...woo hoo

[Dixiechick72]

Oh Eva!!! It blows!! I hate this. I know it's making me worse but oh well what can I do but dive it. Just makes us stronger!!!! Hang in there ur doing good!!!

[Dixiechick72]

Hi guys. Thanks for the support. I am plotting!!! Lol. I'm moving but I feel like I'm telling my brain how to move. Yet on a buzz I felt I could fly around the house like nothing could touch me!!!
Sonrissa. Get ur head woman. Remember it's all in ur head!!! Gain back ur control!!! We think we can't function without this crap but we can. It will just take time getting use to. Ok. I'm moving today. Better then yesterday but it's still taking a lot. I can do this...

[smiles4eva]

Day 5 woot woot!  Sending you chocolate, strength and patience!  I am at 36.5 hours and got a visitor in the night as well.  Oh well, I would rather do it all at once :)

[dominosarah]

I wouldn't take the benadryl anymore.  Sometimes that can do the opposite.  Sleep is a hard one to overcome but it does happen.  Eat some dark chocolate, soak in the tub again and plot some evil witch revenge!!  You are almost thru this.

[Sonrissa]

Hi Dixie! I'm up and I'm here! I feel very disoriented and not sure I can put a thought together yet! Very restless night, but I managed some sleep off and on! The wind here was horrific last night and today! All I heard all night is trashcans and bottles and cans blowing down the street! Plus the howling wind! At least you sound better than you did yesterday! I will post more a bit later as soon as I can find out where I left my head! I'm wandering around my house looking for it, but I'm going in circles! I'm on the verge of tears cause I can't find my head! Give me some time to find it!

[Dixiechick72]

So this posted before I was ready to post. Anyways I just wanted all u people I'm pulling that even though I'm a little emotional witch syndrome coming on... Just throw the chocolate at me and run.. I'll be fine!!! Pat hope ur ok. Sonrissa I expect to hear from u. And all u others Eva and nowornever hang in there. You're all going to get through this. I do want to know has anyone tried anything else OTC for sleep. The benadryl doesn't seem to be working  or is it cause my body is too messed up??? Thanks!! I'm embracing today and I hope I don't melt down like yesterday ... Let's do this day 5. I'm almost at my week!!! Woo hoo
