UMMM, Well my wife did a lot and we have 7 children, 14 months to 17 yrs. and I'm popping in and out. Did I say we have a nanny?? No we're not rich, the state picks up part of the tab because of one of our children is autistic and needs a lot of attention. Maybe spend a few bucks on a temp agenciy and get some kind of help either with the kids or the housework?? Just for a couple of months to get you back on your feet? The best thing is, this too shall pass and what you are giving your children NOW is priceless. Just remember that when you look at them... and the next time we wanna use, eh?
I wish I had an answer for you. I just asked a similar question. I am a single mother. My son is almost 3, and his father doesn't have anything to do with him, so I'm on my own. For me, this is what makes it so hard to stop. When I'm tappering, I have no energy to care for my son, and nobody to help me out. I have heard vitamin B and carrot juice are supposed to help. Just be careful with otc drugs like ephedrine or caffiene pills, because they can be dangerous to take with pain meds. Also, they can raise your blod pressure, and your bp is already elevated while kicking pills. If I think of anything, I will put more. Please do the same for me : )
Thanks for your responses guys! I have actually been clean since Dec. and had alot of help from my hubby with my two year old son during that time. Energy, or lack thereof, has come up alot in the forum lately, so I was just curious and putting it out there for discussion.
