Day 12.. Learning how to live Clean!
Hey all,
I wanted to start a new post with positives!
So Day 12 here and WOW!!! What a difference!
For those of you that have followed my journey, we move in 2 Days!! While my anxiety is high, I do beleive a lot of it is due to the move! 2 hours from here back to my old stomping grounds, which we love! Closer to family for support! My girls will be going to new Schools which, again is a good thing but I am a Mother, of course it stings! Not to mention my baby girl will be a Freshman in High School! While not packing, I have enjoyed riding my bike with my girls to our neighborhood pool. Soaking up the Vitamin C feels great! Life is so much clearer and honestly it's rather sad looking back now that I was numb to my own children, never taking the time to hear about their days or simply chat! I see now why everyone says my 14 yr old is hilarious! Man she makes me smile and really, she has become my best friend in this past week! I went to another meeting this morning and while I chose not to speak, it was very Therapitic!! I have an apt scheduled with a psychiatrist next wed and looking forward to that!
With all that said, I want to say this: someone on here once told me
" that there will never be a good time to detox "... Something in your life will always be going on and make you feel like you can't do it " right now "... Well, here I am going through this massive move with a moody husband that doesn't get what I have and still am going through! My girls starting new schools 3 weeks prior to what they would have if we wouldn't have moved! I did it and I am still doing it! While I know I still have a long way to go, I will never let my guard down!! I have good days and bad days but, I am learning to live again..
PILL FREE!!
I send my utmost Love to every single person that ever responded to any of my post! That Live goes out to the ones that have me tough love when I needed it the most, even if it hurt!! For that I Thank You!.... You know who you are!!
While I will be busy the next few days I will check back in daily!
Right now, I am going to go back and soak in the Vitamin C with the 2 most important people in my life.... My beautiful girls!!
I sincerely give all of my love to every single one of you who got me through the worst Days of my life!
Love,
Ashley..DEDICATEDTOSTOP

Hello friend! Glad to see your doing well :) how has the move and packing gone ?? Been thinking about you these last few days. Really thankful and glad I had you by my side during my tough times... I wanted to tell you thank you for that.
Congratulations....so happy to read this.
While I'm at it, I want to thank all of the wonderful people on this site who have so tirelessly offered encouragement to so many people. They answer the same questions over and over and any time day or night, someone will be here to encourage or lift up those struggling. They have experience that only someone who has been in the same situation can understand. You can't get any better advice than what they give. I haven't had the struggle that so many have, but I am just blown away by the kindness shown by so many people on this forum. I just want to thank you for all for what you have done for so many people.

Hey Dedicated,
Congratulations on getting through your move. I guess you're at 16 days now.
Keep pushing and keep coming here and posting and find a meeting near you as soon as you can.

Thanks Ike!!
That's so very kind of you! I am becoming more and more of who I really am everyday. I have been trying to check in as much as possible but I still have an entire house to unpack. Once I get to a somewhat settling point, I will be here trying to provide support and encouragement to others as so many of you have done for me. I know I still have a long road ahead of me and I know there will be good days and bad but right now I am living one day at a time.
Thank You SO much for being there for me!

Hey there. So happy to read you're rolling strong. You've become a real inspiration on top of being a feel good poster. Congrats and let's keep it going................ike
Thank You for your kind comments!
I did use Clonadine but ironically on my 5th Day I had terrible dizzy spouts and actually fell down. I think it was a combination of 2 hours of sleep and a completely empty stomach. I am not sure it was due to the Clonadine since I had been taking it for 5 days, I think it was a combination of the above.
Thank you for following my story. It makes me feel very blessed to know that my experience inspired someone.
You have a good deal of clean time under your belt so you know how it feels to be on the other side. Keep up the great work! 5 Days is Awesome!
I too actually felt like my pain level decreased after coming off the meds! Right now I think I have pushed myself too hard as in being on my feet too much with this move. I am staying positive that it's just a flare up and when I can finally sit down and halfway relax, once things get more organized here, all will be well again.Sadly, my house isn't going to unpack itself..
