14 days...2 weeks!!!!

[tigerlily75]

Well i have made it through all the craziness of the past 2 weeks still clean! Yay!
Thank you all! I never would have made it without you all! I'm feeling pretty good, the kids are home for Christmas break but maybe I'll do something nice for myself today! Thanks again! You all are angels!!

I am so up and down and I HATE it! I've been trying so hard to start a new life and be positive. For awhile the pills number my reality and my pain...now both are hitting me full force and I'm just so angry and agitated and feel like calling everyone and just cussing them out for everything they did to me. I can't even seem to control this anger now that I'm seeing reality clearly and feeling all these emotions not to mention physical pain. I dropped my kids off which I've never done and am just laying here pi$$ed. Why can't I control thus????

CONGRATS!!!!  Be prepared to shed a tear or two with Tuesdays With Morrie.  I just reread it and know I'll read it again.  I love books.  Keep up your hard work.

So, 15 days...another one bites the dust and another one down and another one down lol!

So, I went and got all my Christmas shopping and wrapping and everything done today!

We were at the mall so I went to books a million. Bought myself 3 Janet evonovich books, a John Grisham book, Tuesdays with morrie and Jane eyre.
$60...i didn't even want to spend any money on me, but then it hit me, $60, heck that's the price of 2 roxies, and I was taking like 10 a day!!!
Felt good to do something nice for myself, a little treat!

Sounds like a plan to me and a good one at that!!! Congrats Tiger

Oh, thank you all so much! I never would have made it without you guys! This site and the amazing people here are lifesavers!!!

mommiemarie, you have been sweet and supportive so much! Thank you!

rosy, you are such a tremendous force of strength, optimism and friendliness! And, I know all too well its easy to get clean, but hard to stay that way! I'll list my aftercare plans below so everyone can tell me what they think.

ariley, thanks so much! I just got your request today, I can't send any but I can receive them I guess!?

Sonrissa, sunshine you are! You have such a great heart and have been there from the beginning, always commenting and making me feel better! And yes. This has been the craziest 2 weeks that I happened to decide to quit lol! But I made it through everything and without pills, and probably better than I would have on pills!

kbusymom, Oh my twin, my long lost sister! We just have too much in common! And you have also been there since the beginning for me, thank you! You are awesome!

I like to think of you all as my family or friends. You all have been such an amazing support! I'm pretty much done with all the physical stuff, just uneasy, anxious, no energy, and the depression but I've had that all my life. Now that I'm actually taking my meds and its Christmas which I love, and getting to see through my clean eyes the brightness in my children's eyes, excited about Christmas, can't be too depressed!

So now, I know I have to get on to the aftercare stage, which has always confused me. My plan is to continue therapy, take all my psychiatrist medicine, get back into church, changing my phone number, and I've even talked to my parents and they have agreed to babysit one night a week so I can go to na. And of course, I plan on continuing to post here. So...what does everyone think!??

Yay for Tigerlily!!!  Keep up the good work :)))))

Way to go Miss TL! You really are Superwoman. You've come so far, and with everything you've been through. It's truly amazing. You know the drill, keep moving forward. You got this!

[ariley13]

Yay for you Tigerlilly! 2 weeks is amazing. Keep up all of the hard work and keep pushing forward.

[ROSYouralright]

2 weeks is great!! The physical stuff behind ya but NOW is the time to get aftercare figured out because the mental part is a ***** and hits without warning. Getting clean is the easy part but staying clean is where the real work begins.. I only wish the absolute best for you!!
CONGRATS on your time and keep knocking those days down!!
