You're shining SO bright I had to put my sunglasses on to read your thread today! hahaha!  
And, whew......I'm worn out just "reading" about your exercise!!! lol

Seriously, girl, your faith and your attitude just oozes outta ya....LOVE IT!

One of my all time favorite teachers thru the years is Chuck Swindoll.  Here's one of his quotes I keep on my fridge.....it certainly applies to you~

"The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us.....and 90 percent how we respond to it."

Julie, u just made me laugh    A fire or a tornado huh?? Lol.

Awesome job on your wkout today!!!!  
I came hm got lunch and did a killer bind and thighs video by Jillian micheals!!  Omg.  Make u wanna punch her in the face. Lol. Love it tho!!!

Great job on your wkout.  I know u feel good.  Get those endorphins pumping!!!!

Girl - there is NOT a negative bone in your body right now!!!  It has been an amazing ride and you have been an inspiration to so many.  I hope and pray you will never have to deal with delayed funky w/d stuff; but even if you do, you now know that you CAN handle it - just keep your guard up and stay strong.

So - how many miles today missy??????  I was thinking about you as I went 5 miles on the bike today at PT & walked 2 on the treadmill; all in the nice and neat, temp controlled therapy place with the nice music playing.  Decided that this is why I don't get too excited about exercising at home - as I'm on the treadmill or total gym thing I am forced to look around at all of the aforementioned "hoarded" stuff and then become anxiety ridden.  So I think its best I just stay OUT of the basement . . .. bahaaaaaaaa!!!  

Seriously - you have motivated me to stick with it just as I was starting to slack off a bit.  So, thank you :)  I don't think I'll ever be RUNNING 5 miles (again, unless it's from a fire or a tornado or something), but I've been reminded how important it is.

Congrats on 6 days . . . WOW, or should I just say - about a WEEK!!!  Great job . . . keep it up :))

Thanks gnarly.  I know it's a beast!!!  The first few years we just messed around w loratabs.  Then I guess it's been about a couple years we messed around w methadone. Never taking more than 25-30. Maximum.  Usually only 10-20 mg.

Hoping and praying for the best!!  I know it can store in the body for a long time.  Just can't think about negative crap or I will never quit.  U know??

God bless!!!

[gnarly_1]

HI sounds like things are going better then most methadone is a ''mother to kick....dont look a gift horse in the face take it for what it is just be warned methadone is very cyclic and withdrawals and post withdrawals can come out of nowhere keep posting with your progress good luck and God bless..........................Gnarly

[SmilingBright]

Another thing I think is helping .... I only have 1 cup of coffee in morn.   So I sleep at night and don't have the anxiety like I would if I keep drinking coffee all day.  

Just a thought....

[SmilingBright]

Awww Vickie u got me all tested up over here. Thank u sweetie.
I'm feeling great!!

Ok wtf918,
I know my long taper helped ALOT.   I tried doing ct bf and couldn't handle it.  My body ached so much ct and the anxiety was horrible.   I started tapering since jan 1st.  And slowly  came down to 1.25 mg.  Then hopped off. Slow and steady I kept hearing over and over.   And I do believe it now!!!  These people saved my life!!!!

I started taking 5htp, rhodolia, b12 prob the last 2 months.   To get my body ready.    I love that combo.   I swear by it.   I work out ev day!! Get my endorphins pumping.  So now that I'm off it takes more of my energy to wkout but I know it will make me feel better if I do it.   So I make myself.
I'm keeping myself busy at Hm and I work anywhere from 2 to 4 days a week. Depending on how busy we are at work.  so that helps to keep my mind busy!!  Can't just sit around in my own head for too long.   Not good for me or anyone I think.   I actually just came home for lunch to workout now back to work.  I'm amazed I'm
Doing this without those pills.   Only gods grace!!!!!!
I have all my faith in God to help me get off this junk.  That is my main source of everything!!!  

I wake up now w a smile on my face instead of waking up asking my hubby for my pill!!  I was so ashamed I had become an addict.  It was embarrassing.  Now i  feel FREE!

Praying for u my friends.  God is so good.  He wants us to live in peace and be free from these stupid addictions.  
God bless!!!!!  

[wtf918]
