Just waiting for the fog to clear.

I am suffering from that dreaded disease "CRS"  Can't remember s***!  Cant focus, cant stay on task, and am I GRUMPY!  Just the alarm going off this morning made me mad.  I know this is all apart of the detox program...just feels better being able to complain about it.  Hope all of you have a great day.  WE CAN DO THIS!

Thank God, I'm not the only one suffering from "CRS" !!  I suppose I should be thankful I'm not wandering up and down the road in my underwear wondering where the he** I am!

I have been sitting here trying to remember what I was about to post.........

[toxictome]

haha ....I can relate....      
unless I'm the first 2 or 3 to answer a thread...i ALWAYS have to go back to the top and RE-read the original post....

and I rarely say "always"....LOL

[Jacqui805]

I do quite a bit of "refreshing" my memory when reading, and apologize if you're referring to my "books"!  Seriously though, I have an awful time with my memory, did this happen to you?  I mean, stuff I'd normally recall before the question hit, now sometimes doesn't come at all, or comes two days later!

Hmm Is this why when I read down a thread. That i can't remember the first part by the time I hit the bottom?!!!!!!!
And when someone posts a 'book' they expect recovering addicts to read the whole thing? and then make intelligggiiible comments????

[Jacqui805]

I consider myself slightly "dain bramaged".  

[toxictome]

Same problem...I'm always saying..".you know what i mean...i can't think of the word"...then i will make hand gestures.."sounds like"...LOL

I am frequently finding myself saying the word opposite of the one i mean...it is tooo weird...

HOPEFULLY, this too shall pass..if not, I'm f***ed!!!  
I guess people will just call me "Braindead Beth"  LOL

I SO have that CRS!  I was talking to a few folks about this yesterday.  While my head is clearer, I have some memory issues that really freak me out.  My mind has always been important to me, duh, like no one else's is....so it bothers me when I can't remember stuff, having previously been a walking encyclopedia!  It totally freaks me out and I hope it goes away.

I am so sorry you are having to endure this...but I am also comforted by knowing I am not the only one not playing with a full deck lately!!!  

The alarm clock is a b*tch.  I remember when I detoxed from methadone about a year and a half ago - every morning when the clock would go off I would say......GD I just want to f*cking die!!!      Oh my goodness...I am so ashamed.  It is a wonder karma did not teach me a lesson.  That isn't me at all...I pray I can keep my cool better this time.  (So many things are different now...thankfully!)

I hope you feel just a little better now that I shared my shame with you.  Sometimes my fiance and I will just laugh about it...hey, it is all we can do.

Hope things go fabulous for you all today!!!!  Stay strong...complain when you need to - I am sure we will always have something to add.

my best medicine is to complain, lol, so vent all you want.  i get mad everyday still when the alarm goes off and im 3 months clean, haha. this will pass and you will feel better soon. have a great day too, and whine if you have to, it helps.
