Well good morning all.......nobody responded to my last post.

Just thought I would say hi, and try again.  Im doing pretty good, considering the shape I was in for so long.   Still nothing to jump up and down about, but its getting better.  I continue to come here & read anyhow, between the times that I  don't have church recovery meetings.  Reading others post, still helps me.  I will say, Im so glad I took that opportunity that the lord gave me to quit, I am soooo happy I did, I do not miss the pill life at all.  Im just looking for my new life to only get better & better.  I do feel like living again.

well hello again......this is day 37 for me.....feeling kinda centimental....tears in my eyes,  just looking around my home at the pictures of family, & events, & places we shared together, I am a huge keeper of memories, I recorded every family gathering, all parties, bby showers, etc.  today, those those days and times have passed, they were beautiful days and times.  Now everyone has grown up, started their own families, and moved on.  We still see each other but I just love reliving our past, good that I have the videos.  Guess Im just feeling a lil down, guess this is some of the moodiness that goes with recovery.  Hope it passes soon, its a sad feeling.  Otherwise I keep plowing thru these clean days, staying connected to my recovery sources, and healing.  Still  have low energy, but once I force myself to do things & get moving, I can push thru & get some things done.  I have no cravings still, thank god, & I do not miss the pill life at all.  However...I do feel like Im missing something, my life is not exciting anymore, Im so boring.  But I will take this pause break in my life to regain a New Life.  
  That's all there is too it.    My life will not be like this forever, I am a very colorful person, lots of creativity.  Im looking forward to that person alive again soon.  Have wonderful productive day all......Ill check back later.

Congrats on your day 37!! I feel the same way as you about something missing in life, and that you are just "boring." But were we boring before the pills?? No, we were not, and we will be fun and lively soon enough! We have that to look forward to...and I'm pretty sure that we, the user, are the only ones that thought we were something of a superhero or whatnot while we were on the pills. My fiancee thinks he's boring when he's not drunk, and the fact of the matter is, he's a complete ******* when he's drinking and he's no fun to be around at all, but he thinks he is. Anyway, I keep telling myself life will not be this way for long also. And the low energy thing is the worst! I totally understand how you feel there. Although I had no expectations on how quickly my life would be normal again after pills, I definately thought by now I would want to do some of the normal things I used to do, and have a little more energy, but I guess patience is the key, even though patience ***** hahaha. Have a wonderful evening.

hey wbf, sorry about the lack of responses, i have to admit i have become pretty reluctant to post only bc its so quiet and that makes me sad.  i don't think that my little response is going to boost the site or make it anywhere near the way it used to be.  and i get discouraged about it.  but to you:  I think you are doing great!  you have a lot of perseverance and a good attitude and those come in super handy!!!  you will continue to keep feeling better as the days go on.  don't get down about a tough day, hour or moment; those will become less and less and the good parts will come more often and more profound.  it is sometimes very gradual.  nice to have you here!  good job!

Totally glad your still with us.  
I hear ya on the rooms being kind of silent....I don't come on here as much as I previously did....mainly because it got frustrating trying to help people and make suggestions that alot of people really didn't want to hear.  Not meaning you, or me, or some people, b/c obviously it worked and we are still here but I can say, alot of people don't come back.  People like you are why I'm still coming back.  I really don't think the new format has anything to do with it either???  
Best wishes from Louisiana here.....keep coming back!

Good morning! I am starting to feel a little better also, but like you, still struggling with having no energy at all, and at times, I still just want to cry. I have a question, for you or anyone...is it normal to just have no sex drive at all? I can't even think about sex, and it is creating a huge issue in my household, but the thought of it just wears me out and have no desire at all to do it. Reading other peoples posts help me also. kind of like i'm "addicted" to the site and getting better haha.

Real nice Post wannabefreeagain!!!
You sound SO good! Proud for you. Keep on stepping forward and up those steps.

Sometimes it gets slow out here and sometimes it has to do with the web change they did. Some still are on the old format and others on the new one. MH is still working out some bugs. That could be why you do not get anybody to respond. Also, this is a good time of the yr and ppl go on vacation. Stick around and keep checking in and reading too.
Bless U
