murphy's law can be good sometimes

i am starting over quitting opiates. been about 40 hours. i had a 2 hour long attack of fu#* it! and don't you know i could not find anything. nothing! isn't that great!? it's surely a sign. my angel is still with me. my head is back in the right place now, but for those 2 hours, i was sweating bullets. most of us have relatively high I.Q.'s. what gives? i know all kinds of stuff. all but how to keep from being a natural idiot at the drop of a hat. hope my angel sits on me if it happens again.

Those moments of weakness are so hard. It's so weird how our brains can shift from normal to crazy addict and i need a %&$!ing pill in an instant. I remember going through that every single day at first and it was a fight just to get through the day. I think as we get through those little battles and become stronger it starts to change so much and we actually start to believe in ourselves, proud of ourselves and our mindset starts to change. Your almost done with day 2 and gonna make it this time. Cling to us for support, swear, cry, do whatever it takes to not give in. Your freedom has begun. You can do this.

the universe does have a funny way of operating doesn't it?!  i'm really happy you weren't able to find your supply, that is definitely telling you something!!!  i wanted so badly to be by myself through wd's, hole up somewhere.  my mother was going to watch my kids for the weekend and something came up for her, so i'm taking care of twin 19 month olds and going through this and you know what......its a blessing!  i would be coming out of my skin if i was by myself right now, i would probably be suicidal to tell you the truth.  so yes, you will receive what you need.  hang in there.  i'm i am just at 49 hours, right with you!
