day 4

[wilkie530]

well i did'nt sleep a wink last nite had a few shaky moments but left house at 4am and took a walk down the beach it was maybe a bit far its took 1hrfifthteen mins but it was well worth it !!!! i know i just need to stay strog now it's te mental battle ahead i need to face but a post i read last nite about hope really was what i needed to hear thanks to this site my cold turky has been made easier if that is possible.
in the past iv cracked on the 4th day more times than i care to remember but this time defo feels diffrent it was the wee things this morning that touched me,once i got down to the beach i sat on a bench that had a plaque dedicated to a mr jim smith who lived till he was79yrs old his family had done it for his memory but it got me thinking im33 yrs old this yr iv just wasted a good 3yrs of my life i don't want to lose anymore to addiction ,
it's time i started again but the cravings will be with me for a while yet im starting to learn to live with them and deal with them i think for the first time .
well im going to put all my energy into staying clean for today it's a slog but a slog with rewards.
thanks for been there when iv needed to re-direct all the negative stuff uu know who u are

Walking on the beach would be great stress relief...i live close but it is still a 45 minute drive..so i just go to the gym.....day 4 is wonderful...day 5 will be better

You're doing great, just keep up the fight. Like Cathy I wish I could walk to the beach, but it is some 2000 mile to it so I will just dream of it. Good luck and God bless.
