I am so proud of myself day 7 and more to come I hope everyone is doing great it is so nice just to have people to talk to on here that is in the same boat i am in. THANKS TO EVERYONE!!!  I stayed busy yesterday just so i wouldn't think about it and the same this mornin, going off with my bff, but looking foward to the day I fill like my normal self. I sit in bed and think about how I used to be and I want to be like that agian. The boys get out of school in 5 days and this was my goal, and hopefully by this day I will be able to get out there and enjoy being a mother and not still be dragging. So hope everyone has a great day, enjoy the sunny weather!!

HI and welcome to the forum...the cravings come and go it what you do with them that makes or breaks you....first its a thought if not stoped it becomes an obsession once there it can very well become an action...this is why we preach so much about aftercare
it helps to teach you skills and give you tools to help deal with things like cravings
my advise is get pluged into something soon your going to need help to deal with stuff like this N/A and A/A are free and both are good programs if thats not a good fit then try a substance abuse conslor or an addiction therapist but if this is left untreated failure is common...it dosent have to be that way you have a choice ...guard your clean time
good luck and God bless....Gnarly

I'm so proud of you too.  You are through the hardest part of the physical w/ds.  And it is a great accomplishment.  Please continue to be strong because our addict minds can try to convince us once we're feeling better that it's OK to try using again.

Keep fighting the good fight.  It is so liberating not to have to plan our lives around pills.  

You will definitely be able to keep up with your boys.  Even if you're still dragging.  Get out there and move. It will make you feel so much better mentally and physically.

God Bless....Rue.

Great news!!  You must be really proud of yourself.  (Though I'm not an addict I am on a ton of narcotics for pain management.  I am working towards looking at alternative treatments for the pain.  When I get through my next surgery (no date scheduled yet), and I find a non-narcotic treatment, my goal is to get off these meds.  I know I'll have to go through some withdrawals (even with the help of my pain management team).  I hope I'll be as strong and brave as the people on here.
