They are nothing to mess with I had used for 15 years tried to quit alot of times but also went back. I never thought I could do it INTIL I ran out and could'nt get any. I ended up in ER then  when though med detox now I see whats its like to be clean and its great! I go to group 4 days a week then I'm going to na 1 night a week. I guess this is the first time I every really wanted to quit. I can look in the mirror now !!!

Perfect sence !! Even though hubby was home for my wd.. he slept at night.. I would sit out here as quiet as possible on the forum because sleep was not happening.. and my emotions.. omg hubby had knee replacement so the last time I kicked was with him.. he had a tolerance but not the whole mental thing going on.. nor did he know the physical except when I told him hehe... anyway we were both crying at the stillest things lol it was really something....
I created a lot of pics in my profile for this very reason.. I would sit here late with nothing to do so I started reading profiles and looking at pictures.. It gave me a lot of knowledge security in that I was not alone and something to pass TIME :))

I feel pretty good I just hate these long hours. When I got clean he was on day shift and I was busy everyday going to group so when I got home he came in right behind me. When I was using i was by myself all the time and I loved it but now I feel like a big baby I don't know what to do with myself does this make since?
