Hi all! Day 18!!!

[Lainemoss]

I'm on morning of day 18. I've been doing really good and this morning I really need to cry. That's life though and I am processing that feeling like a normal human being. I think crying every once in a while is ok, and I'm chalking it up to my brain chemicals realigning. So I'm going to take a shower and cry it out. I know I'll feel better after that. I'm so very thankful for you guys. I can get out whatever I need to and have no judgement.
On a good note, I have slept three nights without the aid of anything! That blessing that I prayed so hard for was finally answered and it is a beautiful thing. A little patience goes a long way. Thanks all!!!

That is so awesome to hear....18 days!  Congragulations!  I believe the crying is totally par for the course b/c i'm even crying at sappy hallmark commercials! Ughhh we've been numb for so long i think we have to learn where to put our feelings? At least i do??? I don't like mushy. Everyone in the n/a meetings keeps trying to hug me and i'm like AGHHH! DON'T TOUCH ME! i don't say it, but feels that way, lol. Keep moving forward! Push,  push

Hi, and congrats on the 18 days! That is fantastic! Crying is good. I think of the tears as cleansing. Let it out. I always feel better and more focused after a good hard cry. Take care!
