Day4

[Bubbleguppie100]

I made it to day 4!!!!!! I slept 9 amazing hrs last night (thank god) yesterday, I mad myself stay out of the house all day. Went to dog beach with my dog and son. Than, took an hour walk, felt amazing!! Didn't come home til,like 9pm. Today, I feel better than ok. I'm going to my first meeting today. I'm really nervous. I've never been to a meeting so, I don't know what to expect. The old me would pop a couple of pills and go. The new me is going completely sober and vulnerable. My older brother is taking me. He's a recovering alcoholic. Been sober for 6 years. Wish me luck! Hopefully, I find a sponsor/friend that can help me with my addiction. Btw- thanks for helping me, my MH friends. You guys got me through the hardest 3 days of my life. Xoxo

Congrats on 4 days!!!  A wise old man told me once to take the cotton out of my ears and put them in my mouth.  That is what i did.

Hi friends! So, i just got back from my first (AA) meeting. I got my first chip!!! It was really cool. I'm going to try to go to an NA meeting this weekend. Thanks barb and happy days. I'm pretty proud of myself.mommymarie- to help with withdrawals I've been following the Thomas recipe (no Valium) I'm drinking lots of water and Gatorade, eating bananas for leg pains, taking vitamins and minerals when I first wake up, I take L-tyrosine500 mg, get in a hot bath, with Epsom salt, have breakfast and hour later, than, I take 1 nutrition-100 vitamin and 1 b12. I've also made myself get the hell out of my house, walk! Take nice walks! Listen to music and watch funny movies. I've also been praying to god a lot. Everyday, I tell myself " I can do this, I can f@cking do this! "

Congrats on day 4! That is awesome and you sound amazing! What have you been taking to help with your withdrawals? Also do you take anything for energy?

You are doing amazing. A lot of people don't make it out of bed on day three. And you went out with your son and dog until 9pm? And today on day 4, a meeting! That's wonderful. Being out and about and doing physical stuff will speed up your recovery, mental included.

I had such anxiety, I didn't leave the house for a month. I came close to becoming a recluse. I never wanted to face the world. It slowed down my recovery. Oh how I wish I had listened to those that walked the path before me, and were telling me to get out. I wouldn't even go get the mail. 20 yards. But once I did go out, it wasn't near as scary as I built up in my mind.
So, I'm very impressed with you. With your attitude, plus hitting meetings already, you'll be posting 30 days clean, 60 days, 6 months before you know it.

Great job! Congrats on 4 days. Awesome!!
