Update:

Hello all I know its been too long. I hope all is well its over 2 months now for me.Its been very up and down with everything going on. Lately I'm just getting frustrated with lack of energy.energy I really need right now. its hard to just be up in the am and take care of stuff. but I know time well make it better. I em taking a slew of vitamins and supplements that seem to help. As most of you know we lost one of our horses lately he got injured and just could not over come his injury's its a shame then to top it off and another blow to my wife and I we had to take his body else where for disposale. we could not find anyone to dig a hole for him in our yard and couldnt leave the body there until we could. but this was also becuase of neighbors complaining as usualy about not wanting the horse buried on our propery becuase of wells......even though he did call health department and the county and all said it was fine. we are soo done with neighbors going to build a solid 6 foot fence and lock ourselves in. So no nieghbor can stick there nose in our business agian. anyway hope all is well and peace be everyones journey. ill write more later.

Man that just hurts me about the Horse..I had so much hope for him. I am glad you are still ticking away..OH that darn Energy thing..Well it took me about a Year after I did everything from Vit/Min to walks and swims to riding my bike, BUT for some reason it kicked in a bit..I now look at the Positive and how much I have really gotten done around here. It just takes time and a bit of a push but it will happen..I know for me I will never be 100% back to normal and I do not even know what normal is like. I came clean at a very late age so now I just have to except the fact that I will not be superwoman any more but I will give it one Heck of a try..lol
Keep on Riding it out!!!
Bless

Really good to hear from you Zero!!!  And a HUGE congrats on your 72 days!!!  
I share your sorrow in having to put Ari down.  Beautiful guy, he was~
Sorry to hear of the hassle in getting him buried, but you pulled thru and are STILL CLEAN.  Getting stronger every day.....

OxyTired said something profound above that I really relate to....it really jumped out at me.  Maybe worth a second read:

"Can't go forward some days, and determined not to go backward.
I find I have more energy if I am not continually asking myself if I have energy. Sort of a paradox. When I obsess about my mood it deteriorates."

Keep slaying the dragon.....

hey, so sorry to hear about your horse.  I'm on a farm but no horses but I have two pet sheep, Randy and Earl, they are brothers.  They are 21/2 yrs. old and I'm feeling really worried about them as they are really fat.....they look like tiny cows.

Yesterday looking at their legs and feet, I cried thinking how are those skinny things holding them up....they must be close to 200lbs.  My vet says they may get cardivasular issues......they are gluttons.  I want to be able to bury them on the property if or when something happens to them.  

I am a huge animal lover. Sooner be with them than with humans to be sure.

Bless you and your family.  Peace to your horse.
Glad to see you're still rockin your clean time. The energy will get better.
hugs.

Sorry about your horse. I have a ton of stuff now to deal with. I am at 4 months clean and Just turning the corner with the low energy thing. Everyone is different. I have been worried about lethargy for weeks now. Everybody saying it gets better, yada, yada, and I was so droopy.
But I put my very best into exercise and diet, and just hung on. Can't go forward some days, and determined not to go backward.
I find I have more energy if I am not continually asking myself if I have energy. Sort of a paradox. When I obsess about my mood it deteriorates.
Don't know if this helps. Kind of annoying when someone recommends. "Just tough it out. Fake it to you make it." LoL
But it is true. It does get better. And I have a nasty using history, that I want to stay as history.
Went to Core aquafit again today. My back did fine (serious issues, etc)
So I am sending to you best wishes and encouragement in our common battle.
