Needing a little of both. Day 18. Doing step 1 with my sponsor tomorrow. Went to church today. Just got home. Terrible crawlies, leg pain, flu like stuff. The day had been so good then, like a flood comes the wd. Also how many times can you say the serenity prayer. I get home my husbands drunk talking stupid, I'm sure I never did that, lol. I think I'm just tired. So glad your all here. Just remind me I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
Love you'll.

See if your doc will prescribe either Zofran or Promethezine for your tummy.  Both are heavy duty for tummy problems.  I couldn't eat AT ALL...it was horrible.  Finally got the Promethezine, took it twice daily and was able to at  least eat 3 light meals a day.

Hi  well I do believe N/A works  as addicts we wind up with little structure when we finely had enough the 12 steps will give you that structure and provide help for the addict that still lives in you...long after the drugs stop we still have the same addictive behavior compulsions and reactions instead of response I tryed just about everything my pastor at church a substance abuse counselor a shrick but it was N/A that gave me my life back and ''showed me how to live''  this program is a critical part of beating this thing  even if it is just for today  you never have to use again...........Gnarly

So far I've been so nauseous. I hate milk. I'm taking the LLysine with B6, sublingual B12, cal/mag/zinc & protein bars. But I'll get the whey tomorrow & try. I'm willing to take any suggestion today. Thank you for being here, for staying clean, & helping us all. Apparently you have a clear understanding of the 12th step. Thank GOD:)

Hey your doing great for day 18 it can take a wile for this crap to go away...methadone is  the gift that keep on giving....just when you think you got this stuff beet it comes back with a vengeance...as you can see it is very cyclic and comes in waves just know the first month is the hardest  im always happy to hear your going to meetings  I hate to see people go threw the detox process fail to use aftercare and wind up right back to square one   have you started the ''whey protein shakes yet??  it will give your brain the aminos and your body raw protein for energy it is only 15 bucks for a 2lb can at walmart just mix a scoop in a glass of milk the chocolate flavor is good any way try to hang in there this a war one in baby steps  keep posting for support............Gnarly

Thank you. It's so bad at night because I start dreading the long quiet time. I took sleep pills so long. I can't wait to fall asleep.

Hey girl! You are right where you're supposed to be! The fact that you felt good all day then the wave came, shows that you are healing.  Soon there will be more good days than bad. In less than two weeks you are going to feel much better.  30 days feels amazing! My husband is a big drinker too. Just focus on you! You can do it! Keep the faith and stay on the path!
