a daily medatation book
a daily medatation book is agreat tool in the begining of recovery as well always.
i have mentioned it before, na has a daily reading book, it is callede just for today, today medatation is on making ammends
by the way ammends is somthing that can waiy don't rush into
making amends, most new people think they need to do a fourth step and an 8 step make amends, .
step one is always the place to start, acceptance of the truth
i am an addict , i have used aginst my will, ,i have hurt people i love
aginst my will , meaning that is not what i wanted to do.
anyway back to a daily medatation book my fav is ( each day is a new beginning ) it always seemed that that little book was right on time, inspireing me just when i need it., when ever i thought i was done with staying clean ,i would read a medatation that would help me get back on track, it was like a miricle.
hazelden sells them as well as barnes and noble. they are in the misnamed self help area of the book stores.
if it is not practical it is not spirtual.!
humilty means being who we are and not who we think we are.!
it is not what we used that makes us an addict but why we used.!
unconditional love is allowing others to make mistakes
and still accept them and provide encouragement. !
a mature conscience is aware of it's motives
peace!!!!!!!!! and good day

Yeah, lunges, squats,and leg presses---all the above. I treated it "gingerly" today while I worked out and it's tender but bearable. Letting it stiffen up certainly doesn't seem to help.
I get headaches all the time, too. My neck gets out of whack, and if I get an adjustment at the chirop. they usually go away. It's irritating waking up w/ a throbbing head, eh?
Have you talked to a doc about the teeth-grinding? Is it a TMJ thing, do you know? My mother had the same problem and they fitted her w/ a mouth-guard (inner) type thing that at least was a cushion between her teeth for sleeping. No wonder you get headaches.
Ah, to be young again and get excited about the first snowfall, like your kids. Actually, the first one is okay, it's the other 942 that get to me... Later--Peaz

I forgot to add, i was getting some pretty bad headaches up until a couple weeks ago(several/week), but those have eased.
Now i just have to figure out how to stop grinding my teeth so bad(day and night)....

I thought u said u were having a hard time being creative??
Torn glute....hmmmmm, lunges, leg press or squats?
Yes it's snowing like crazy; we are only 1 hour from the Rocky Mountains(Banff, Lake Louise).... my kids(2 & 4) are soooo excited.
Thanks for the congrats; i have to count when someone asks or am wondering , because, like yourself, i stopped keeping track of the everyday counting a while back.
To answer some of your questions....yes i have generally lots of energy(there are definate 'flat' spots some days). Mind you, i work out 5 times/week(before these stupid pills, i'd trained for almost 20 years in the gym); eat lots, including 4-5 protein shakes/day, plus creatine, vitamins etc.
My life feels pretty normal again!!!!
Now as far as the sleep goes, it sucked until my Doc put me on Trazadone(I was never a real good sleeper)
From my understanding, it is a non addicting anti-depressant, when in low doses serves as a sedative. I AGREE!! It's worked very well. It's an old MAOI, thats been around for years.
I don't feel any cobbwebs in the morning either.
I no longer dread going to sleep.
Vaya con Dios(or whoever)
Have an awesome day!!

Good One!! I am having a hard time being creative and thinking of more. I really DID tear a glute the other day and it's killing me....Is that where they got the saying,"Pain in the butt?"
You sound good today. Did you say it was SNOWING? I realize you're north of me, but....It will be close to 70 here today so I'm lovin' it.
And you're on day 52?? That is so AWESOME. Do you have your energy back or are daily functions (not THOSE kind) still a chore? I have a lot of ambition lately, but part of it is due to the Wellbutrin, I think. It's a slight stimulant. The one problem area for me is a GOOD NIGHT'S FREAKIN' SLEEP. Istay up late and read, exercise, and still I cannat for the life of me sleep through the night. From what I've read, this symptom may hang on for years.
So have a good one and if you have any sleeping secrets, share them w/ me, 'K? Paz y amor---Peaz
P.S. Hey!~! That could be "Peaz" y amor....

I was afraid no one would "get" that--it's "Peaz" instead of Puhh---lease. As in " I can't believe you just said that!!! Oh well, I guess we're nearing the end of our entries, anyway.
I didn't go back to my post, but like Chezz said, I chose rehab. My boss, WAS, in fact, a recovering addict/alcoholic---had done exactly the same thing I did, and has re-entered the profession and been sober for over 20 yrs. now. So when I confessed, it was because he said he knew (in his gut) what I was going through and could get me some help. If he would have taken me to court, had I rejected rehab, I would have just been made to get in a 12-step program (1st offense) PLUS I would have had to pay restitution which would have been in the thousands of dollars. My point is, he was actually very understanding. I confessed because I had "felt out" others who worked there to see how much they knew, and two people had said they'd seen me steal pills (I got reckless near the end) and so I knew they could expose me and the writing was on the proverbial wall. I waffled for days, could I worm my way out--his word against mine w/ no real proof vs. the gig is up, face the consequences and get this monkey off your back. All of this ruminating going on in the height of withdrawls...It was SWELL. Chezz--what's your email again??? Peaz
Thomas you are a crack head, once again!!!! LOL You have to read my other post up top.
She didn't got to JAIL. She went to rehab. With empty pockets!
Peaz, to your 1st question, give it time or e-me.
Bmac and everyone - where in the heck was I in the 70's. Oh, maybe the result of a BIG percodan night on the town.

That's how I got started many years ago with percodans.I knew a girl that worked in a RX.Every friday she called me and gave me 20 percodans,every friday for 3 years.She said the pharmacist
was cooking the books and letting her take many many every week.
Also in my area back in the 70's two pharmacists got busted for
writing their own scripts for their friends.They both got 15
years a piece.I hope it was worth it.
Just my little RX story.

Wait a minute ... you voluntarily CONFESSED to the Pharmacist when you didn't have to? What were you on that day? Man! You also said you chose the latter option, meaning jail -- did you mean the former option of treatment? Your pharmacist was an arch **** to turn you in like that.
I've known many pharmacy techs that get caught, But, rarely does the RPH drop a dime on them. I simply don't understand how someone can narc you off to the cops for volunarily confessing to a victimless crime. The kicker is, despite what they say, many, many pharmacists are stone Rx junkies of the first water. I used to know a guy whose dad was a pharmacist. We used to raid his hidden cabinet in his bedroom and find every CII and CIII narcotic, barbiturate, amphetamine -- even pharmaceutical cocaine packed in HUGE test tube-like containers. We ripped him off mercilessly, but everytime we went back for more, there were even more drugs in place of what was taken. Pharmacists are not paragons of virtue, they are as fallable, hypocritical and dishonest as the next man. And you'll never catch one of those pricks confessing ...

Bmac answered your question about the percodan. I thought I was probably boring people when I wrote all that so I left a lot out. I totally forget to put the ultram part in... Anyway---can you expound on why Allisa won't be reading it, or is it personal? Perhaps not my business.
Anyway, my boss DID ask how he could prevent pilfering like this in the future, and I said," How's about LOOKING at the inventories when they're done??" I think he thinks I'm just TOO sneaky and too good of a liar to hire back, and I can't blame him for that. We're all smooth as silk when it comes to getting our DOC, aren't we?
I am now officially confused about the percs/peaz thing, so I will consider myself an "oxymoron" (Hope you read Thomas' joke or you'll think I'm on crack...It was a doozy.) Gol dang it!!! I just start posting and having fun and my daughter needs the computer AGAIN!!!At least she's first in her class.... Gotta go Love to all--Kiss,kiss, hug, hug, screw, screw...Peaz

Peaz and percs you ladies are tooooooo much.
Talk about a kid in a candy store peaz. I had never taken a vicoden until recently. I didn't realize you only had to have a regular looking RX form. They sure didn't do very good inventories then!!! I bet they do now! ;)
What the heck is a percodan. Is it a percocet without the apap. Maybe with some IBP?
Never heard of them.
Keep jokin' it up in here. Something to keep it lively. ;)
Chezz
BTW - I don't think Al will be back to read it though. ;(

My favorite so far is Peazful Easy Feelin' (Eagles) but it was posted before the contest started so I don't know if it's a legal entry.....Egads, I'd hate to get disqualified.....So how about: "Peaz Come to Boston" Whoo-ha Loggins (is it Kenny? Dave? ) As a DJ I should know this stuff.... Keep those cards and letters comin".
so far 'give peaz a chance'is my personal favorite.
percs and peaz ain't to bad either.

I go in to have the pre tests Monday.If they come back all
the way they should, it will be in the next 10 days.If someone cancels I will fill their spot.As for the meds it is mental anyway,I agree.Thanks for the thought,I will let everyone know the day of my surgery.The doctor let me see the knee he is using.
Rocket science stuff I mean.Ugly looking little titanium sucker.
