When I went through withdrawals a few years ago I was mr. mom due to a injury and had to care for my 1 year old daughter and 4 year old son. I've been through withdrawals a few times and think going through them while caring for my kiddos made it go a little faster. It forced me to get up and move around. Laying around just seems to drag them out a little longer. I remember how difficult it was, but it help keep my blood flowing and just chasing the kiddos around helped me exert some energy. Exercise is huge during withdrawals and even just a little helps even if it's just moving around the house.
Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and try to force yourself to go for walks. I know how difficult it can be but it helps so much. Just keep a positive attitude and this will be over before you know it!
By the way, I live in central IL and was up your way yesterday as I had to go to Joliet. I'm still fighting the withdrawals so the road trip was kind of nice! Just keep going strong and post often. It helps so much! Best of luck!

I think day 2 is the hardest.  Day 3 seems to be a little easier, but it's still pretty hard.  You are going to find what you are made of over the next couple of days...but hang in there girl.  You CAN do it!

Getting someone to help with the kids isn't a bad idea.  If there is someone available, then you might consider it.  Just tell them you have the flu.  Or...if you are like me, use the kids to fuel you.  You sound like me in the fact that you feel guilty becuase of the way things have been lately.  The fact that you have awesome, beautiful kids and you couldn't seem to find enough joy in that without getting high.  I know... I feel the same way.  I'm disgusted with that sh*t!  Well..you can use that to fuel you.  Just keep them in your head.  You can do this...I have faith in you!

thanks so much axl  i didmanange to get into the shower and with help of my 9 year old got the house some what done good enough any way. thank god he didnt have school today hes a good helper. i just feel guilty but i know this will soon pass i am going to get through this how are you today?

[Axl_0113]

you are doing awesome!   Keep it up!

I know it seems like you have alot to do, and you don't really know how it's all going to get done with you feeling the way that you do...but in a way, it's a good thing.  Staying busy keeps your mind off of the fact that you feel like sh*t! lol

Hang in there girl, and keep thinking about why you are doing this.  This wont last forever, and you can beat it! I can tell- you are a strong willed person (like me lol)

If you want to talk...I'll be here all day!

Peace!
