Day 9.....not so good

[confused456]

Well, here I am at day 9 and I am not doing great, at least not with the cravings, and today I am suppose to go to the dentist. I really do not want to go.

[confused456]

Flutterby:
Yup, very lucky cuz my biggest fear was the fact that they were going to do x-rays and it was a check-up and I feared I would have to have "something" done and I know they usually send me home with Vicodin if they do any kind of work. That was why I didn't want to go, its too soon and I was afraid I would not have told them no if that happened!

Yay!  See?  Things work out!!!  You got soooo lucky with the cancellation!!!  

[confused456]

Thanks, they actually had left me a message on my voicemail saying they had to cancel, what a relief!!
Gizzy: I will send you some jokes!!
Feohmoon: You made me laugh when u said I reminded you to make dentists appointments! Thanks! Noppe, I am not taking zinc, keep meaning to get to the store, but am being lazy!
Flutterby: Ya, I believe in myself, thanks for reminding of it though!
Chi_Chi: Thanks for the warm words!
Cathy: As always you have kind, caring words for me! Thanks a bunch!
Love you all!

hi sweetie.  DAY 9 is absolutely huge...don't let your guard down.  there is going to be really struggle between you and the addiction, sometimes you will swear it is actuslly talkng out loud to you.  you are pretty much passed the physical, so it will play on your mental side and give it all its got.  your addiction does not want to loose.  it will pull out all the stops to convince you to use "one more time".  ha what a joke, dont give in, you can win!!!! and you are well on your way.  get busy, go to the dentist and shop if you have the time, just dont dwell on the cravings.  wont be long and they too will be a distant memory.  dont think they wont find their way around ever so often the addiction will find the need to cry out (ie triggers)  you just got get busy and drive them out.  good luck...i am in your corner.
love and hugs
cathy

ps  its still early hope this made some since :) lol

Confused, You really are right in the middle of the hardest part. You have to keep pushing forward and keep the dental appointment. It's one more thing to keep you busy, Keep as busy as possible and try to do something you love. I know you work and have the children but find something for you. Love ya

Gizzy, Are you okay?

[Flutterby111]

I hope everything's ok with you too....I mean, I whatever crazy thing happened last night wasn't too traumatic or upsetting..... ;)

[Flutterby111]

That sucks....you've been doing so great though, just a little hurdle....cravings will be there, but you can overcome them,, I have complete faith in you!  I KNOW you have faith in yourself, right?  I've had a hard time mustering up the strength to follow through with alot of obligations like that....I just want to be a baby and kick and scream and say NO! I don't want to go!!!!  ARgh....stay strong!  Keep up the FABULOUS work, and you know we're here for you, just like you are for us!!!! ;)

[feohmoon]

Are you taking any zinc?  I ask because zinc helps to curb the cravings...magnesium helps with the depression.   You are doing so great...day 9 is an awesome achievment...give yourself a hug.
Ugh...I am not a fan of the dentist...something about the way the place smells just tears my stomach up - but you have reminded me to call and make 2 dentist appts. today...thanks,
You can do this...you have already made it almost an hour since your post...we will do this hour by hour - some days are more challenging than others.

hey sorry your having a tough day so far, but i know your strong enough to get through it. remember the list of triggers you wrote, try to avoid any of those today and keep busy. something crazy happened to me last night, so i haven't slept and im struggling right along with you today. we will get through this, just have to dig a little deeper today. stay strong.

hey if you have any more of those jokes, send them to me today, i need a laugh.
