What's Up With This !?!
I am on day 11 I think and am having a rough time when I walk or drive. It's kinda like I am having flashbacks or continuously being shocked. I need to start back work and soon want have a choice. I can not take a chance driving right now. I am recovering from a multi-year opiate addiction.

Day by Day my friend. Dip your toes in your comfortzone as far as driving and other areas, the rest will come. Are you working with a doc to regulate medications you are on?Keep meals simple and healthy. You can confront todays storms with weapons, but try love, education and fellow struggling addicts to lean on? Here for you.
Hey rolln....congrats on your clean time! Seems like you have been through a lot but finally want to change for the better....i! Commit to this process with a positive attitude and you'll succeed! For the online meetings you inquired about just google SMART Recovery and their website has a great program on recovery that you may find beneficial. And they have online meetings! Hope it helps!
hey rolln, check with Mike in france post or pm him. He had stumbled on a different aftercare online that sounded interesting. I haven't had time to give it a look over , but will. Please, please hang in there. I have been where you are and can honestly say you will not believe the rewards that await you. xx
Selfinduced,
Thanks for your encouragement. One day at a time my friend. My days are not what I would call normal yet each day is bringing promises of a tommorow not too many days Ago I thought this old boy may not see. Are there any links that there are groups or anything online? I live out in the woods where it makes it difficult to get to any type of meetings.

Hi Laurel,
I was not aware you had responded to me,yet was kinda worried someone was going to comment. So glad you chose too. Yes I have taken different things in hope to lessen opies bite. Laurel I have only dreamed of a day that exsisted with out a pill that not only would remind you of everything yet if needed the pill will bring every force imaginable penetrating even our soul until, it's Hell Has It's Way!!??!! So I have had issues with staying quit and.being able to walk with a inner cleanness that is a result of our efforts and decision that pills have become a part of me I who once was honored that I was same man everyday and everywhere. I have been victim to that lifestyle for many years. And Miss Laurel I thought I was the one that could be smarter than that vicious cycle And I was as long as I kept a dose close,"just in case". We all know know serious life can be on that tail-gait of the doormats of death(opiate addiction). I was the type of fella that high on opiates that a high to me was extra enthusiasm that provided the drive and confidence that in a way could stick as close a brother as long as you was just as close. I have had many car accIdents and my life will forever be unique in it's own way. To shorten this some ma'am I have had many promises to God,myself,my family and my life that left me hopeless. After loosing my father just after my mom(2yrs.). I made a decision to stop and tried to tie a knot in a different color to help ease w/d's. I have ADD and have been prescribed amphetamines for many years. Laurel can you cheat that Demon or is your biggest enemy(yourself) in your brain just stop w/d's until your clean and needy. I have met several people who claim to have had success this way. I am not trading one for the other in the long term yet hoping to stimulate my system's detoxifing machine. I am on day 18 and for now everything is good yet am awaiting the possibilites that tomorrow brings and ma'am I believe my drive (I Pray) will return so that I can have the energy and stability that sobriety offers. I already have a much clearer thought process and even though I can't escape suffering addicts and addiction I really feel and believe what them things have done,taken and stolen will always be a fire that only burned and destroyed my almost utter "Life"! That death horse shall forever be alive breathing memory of that life and the destruction that lays in wait. I have learned so much about our bodies and I am confident that victory is sure and sweet and is mine to hold. Pray I can positively be patient and content as I confront today's storm with today's weapon's.
