Yaaaay! You did great! : ) I'm so proud of you. Just don't forget how badly you want to stay clean, and keep that going. You definitely have to make your new clean life a priority. Not just "a" priority......THE priority. It's too much to worry with everything in our lives while we detox. Just worry with getting and staying clean now, and do whatever needs to be done to achieve that! Once you have done that then you can start dealing with one thing at a time!
Remember......one day (or minute) at a time! One problem at a time. Right now, your problem is getting clean. To heck with the rest! (for now!)
and remember baby steps Please dont over load yourself with a Huge to do list I Know getting a house ready to sell is a huge JOB One step at a time Bkitty said the same Slow down you #1 priority has to be getting clean and sober first off.
Get healthy make positive changes to your life each day Pick a small task a chore around the house and complete it. Set yourself up for success
Thanks Sara,
I felt very proud of myself.
I Just sat here and read thru all the advice you have bben given Pat and this forum is amazing place. You are one of the reasons for this You helped talk to me when i was going thru my Physical WD and I know you can do this lady.
I am proud of you for telling connection NO and You said he wont call back Thats great . Someone gave you a suggestion about changing your phone # Very Good advice I Hope you do it my friend. There are 3 things that I feel are very important to staying clean #1 Eliminate Pill source Its a MUST #2 Be honest with your friend and Loved ones get support spill your guts tell them you are an addict and need help #3 AFTERCARE- I Go to group meetings tried other things wasnt a fit But my group meetings are with 4 of us and w/o this important step I am not sure I would be be clean .
Way to go girl!!!! Proud of you~
You aren't harsh at all. I am trying to keep an open mind and do everything I can to stay clean. I have had 5 years of hell and a wasted life and I have a lot of relationships to repair.
Yesterday was such an amazing feeling when my son and sisters called. I want that back and I want to be a part of my family again.
I don't have a cell phone only a land line and I can't change my number.
I would love to stop the damn collectors from callings.
He won't call again.
I feel very safe.
