Rough Day...

I have been totally clean now for 5 days and until today I have tolerated it well. My husand and I had a pretty big fight this morning and he took off somewhere and probably wont be back for the rest of the day. The fight was my own stupid fault and I wish I could take back the dumb things I said but I can't. I dont handle things like this well and all I can think about it wishing I had a pill to make me feel better. I've cried for two hours already and get rid of these thoughts... HELP!

talking to people and praying helps me. i read on here yesterday that sometimes we hold a lot in when we don't realize we do. that happened to me yesterday actually....i started feeling really sick so i went into the bathroom for a minute, and then this woman came in to ask me if i was okay, etc....and i ended up just sitting there, crying, telling her about my health, and stress.....it was crazy. but it felt good. i keep telling myself that everything has an end, and it can always, always be worse. i am not sure if that is morbid, but thinking about how much worse it could be always seems to help me...good luck hun!

Great advice, do something.  If you sit and think, the mind can create all sorts of wild ideas and make small problems big.

Keep busy, get any kind of excerice like walking, read a book, play a game...

Hang in there, it gets better and better.

It's hard but you have to stay focused on the goal. Will yourself through this with grit and determination. On my worst days i was literlly going out of my mind. I thought i needed a pshyc. Somehow I would get through the day and get home and take a hot shower and go to bed and pray that tomorrow would be better,say some prays for other people on here and go to sleep. Usually induced by ambien or tylenol pm or xanax. Trying to switch it up each night so as not to get hooked on something else. Trust me when I say you can do this. When i  would really crave i would come here and read posts and read a book,anything to take my mind off the pills. You've come so far at 5 days. I just kept telling myself that over and over. Can't turn back now I worked to hard. If not some people on here encouraging me I would still be using( yall know who you are). Do something,anything,go for a walk,read,movie anything to keep the mind occupied. These last few days for me have been tougher than the physical side. You can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!! John
