comfort and discomfort?

[leeisgettingclean]

I have a couple questions
1) what was your greatest comfort durings w/ds?
2) what was your greatest discomfort?

My greatest comfort was my hot tub and anything that had to do with heat..sun,hot bath, hot tub
My greatest discomfort was tryin to sleep

discomfort was no SLEEP. I am normally a very sleepy head always have been so when this happen like to drove me crazy. It was awful.

Comfort: few things hot baths, pitch black room comfy bed lots pillows even though couldn't sleep felt great lay in. Laptop

Greatest comfort: Telling my parents I were going to quit.
My mother had her birthday when I jumped out a window from my ex who locked me in a room. At that point I decided I wouldn't be a part of that environment anymore. I crushed my heel when I landed and I told the hospital I had tried to hang myself in order to get an acute stay in psych. Actually forgot to tell my mother about my crushed heel when I called and said I was quitting =P

Biggest discomfort: Not being able to eat anything without throwing up and the lonelyness I felt.

My greatest comfort was finally admitting I had a problem,and doing something about it.
My greatest discomfort?there were so many,maybe the constant sneezing and runny nose which lasted the longest.

Lee,

Hey, no worries, I'd be very doubtful myself in your position, especially after all my previous fails. I know I'll always be an addict, its just I will, never, ever, go there again.

Can't give any reason why but that is just not going to happen again. Something changed, shame I'm not in the slightest religious or I could start going on about intervention and stuff :)

hey thanks for replying and please please please take no offense to this being said.."never get to content with being clean,never think you can not relaspe, my sister died beliving that,  all in one day she relapsed and passed away not of an over dose but rather at the hands of a crazed crack dealer...she did not do crack, she did pills, but our addiction puts us in the company of some dandies!! But its good to be confidient and you are doing great just keep your gaurd up buddy

The greatest discomfort for me was the head pain, felt like my eyes were being forced out of their sockets. Happily they didn't as it would have embarressing being taken to hospital at that point as I was rather busy lying in a pool of vomit ...

Greatest comfort was knowing I wasn't going through this again, I dunno how to justify this but I just knew I wasn't going to relapse again. I'll be dead before that happens and I'm not planning on dying anytime soon ^^

After the initial few days this site, or the people on it be more true, have been an absolute life saver.

no you dont sound like no hick...HAHA maybe a lil : ), and yeah having people that knew what i was going through helped. The fact that it woulndnt last forever was comforting...and yeah the RLS was why i couldnt sleep...urggggghhh!!! hated that!

[dominosarah]

My greatest comfort was knowing the wd's wouldnt last forever and i needed to go thru these to get to the other side.

Discomfort......RLS

I KNOW that my GREATEST comfort was my husband, my son AND my horse... in that order..

My BIGGEST Comfort was when I was ABLE to TELL my husband about my addiction and.... he understood and WAS THERE for me... my husband IS my HERO and my greatest support system... as well as my son
(and my horse... corney.. but sooooo true)

My greatest discomfort was..... just the WHOLE withdrawl thang... the sweats... chills...body aches....holey moley feeling like **** feeling...

My GREATEST JOY has been ALL the people on MEDHELP.. cus.. you guys make my HEART HAPPY... EVERY DAY.... and in EVERY WAY!

Couldn't have done it without you all....

Thanks and LOVE YA ALL!
