Any movie that speaks to the human spirit...
Example: "Love Actually" "Castaway" "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"
(I'm bad at remembering movie titles...)
What are you going to tell your boyfriend about being sick?
Good luck! Get everything you need now and then don't leave the house/apartment!!
Seether.....Rise Above This
Beatles.....Let It Be
Johnny Nash....I Can See Clearly Now
Tommy, So proud that you are still trying/doing. Sounds like you have a good plan and want it. I am cheering for you.
Watch Tombstone. My favorite. Val Kilmer & Kurt Russel version. It'll get your mind off stuff for a couple hours anyway. It's a factual movie also..........
Check NA meetings online, maybe you can be helped by them ... remember to keep you hydrated and don't let your levels of potasium go down, i know fruit is very expensive in japan so maybe you can not eat a lot of bananas, try finding potasio rich food .. nutcrackers, spinach, apple juice, tomato soup ...keep being positive, Tommy, it is a matter of days, take each hour at a time, don't focus on the next one , just the present ... we will be here and go for it :) All the best now !!
I don't really know of any good online resources. I tried reading another board but ya know ... it just didn't feel like "home" like this one does. I'm not sure why?
So far it looks like you are on the right path. You really sound like you want to do this. You sound like a good person. Keep coming back here. Hang out with us.
Remember, just because you deleted them from your phone, you are still in their phone ... so when you see a number come up without a name, just don't answer it. That will help you avoid the temptation. Stay away from those people.
Just be sick for a few days (there is pretty much nothing you can do about that part) and then we'll get on with the rest of your recovery. How long has it been since you used last? And yes at this stage of the game hours count! If what you've got is 18 hrs ... that's a start. We are rooting for you.
