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

Praying for you. I have a lot of back issues like you. But last year I came off my meds for a month, back pain was a lot better without the meds. But my pain dr talked me into going back on them, wished I hadn't.
I have been following your post, it really helped me this time, I'm 4 hours from starting day 5. I did go to the movies last night with my husband, enjoyed it very much!! Fell asleep on the car ride home, thought I'll go straight to bed, lasted an hour. Had to get up and take a bath, to be able to go back to sleep.
Didn't you use clonidine to help you? Did it prolong your withdrawl? Cause today will be my last day of it.

Hi All, 15 Days today!!
We are in starting to get more comfortable with the new house. I didn't lift anything at all yesterday nor will I!
I must admit that I woke up this a.m with terrible back pain and pain shooting down my left leg w numbness in my foot! Again, I didn't lift one single thing!
I was however on my feet ALOT yesterday supervising and I packed some remaining things at the old house while the truck was being loaded. This is a huge bummer:(... There's so much here that needs to be done. I can't just sit all day. I will be forcing myself to sit periodically. Right now, I have only a few pieces of clothes out and boxes stacked to the ceiling. My husband drove to get one last load so when he gets home to lift the boxes, I will begin weeding through them.
Any prayers and good vibes sent my way would be deeply appreciated! My pain level is a 10 right now with Ibprofen 800mg...... Sigh

All,
Thank you for your encouragement! It's midnight here and I am finally relaxing! I had my parents come up for the move and they helped my Husband, as well as a family friend and my 14yr old daughter and her friend.
My In-Laws met us at the new home to unload. Being surrounded with both sides of family was such a blessing! They wouldn't let me lift anything even if I wanted too. But I have had my Guard up all day! No way would I take a risk on hurting my back even more! So I DID NOT LIFT A THING! Nor will I! Just supervised.
I am now 2 weeks clean and have my eye on the big prize!! My sobriety remains number 1!!!! Still lots of unpacking to do but I now have a support network and it will get done! Not stressing it! I am now surrounded by trees and the sounds of crickets and such! It's so very tranquil! Didn't have that in the suburbs. Thanks again for all your support!
I am doing this thing!!
Peace and Love,
Ashley
