30 Days.... But.......
Okay 30 days is amazing, physicaly I feel great and moods have been great. I have rebuilt my relationship w Jesus. But I am feeling frusterated w " real life issues" while I have NO desire to use, I must add. I am currently laid off from work and sit at home w a 3 year old ALL Day. Since the cloud has been lifted I see all the major issues I have put off for 2 years in my relationship w my daughters father and I have NO IDEA how to deal w them. Being at home all day is sucking the life out of me, and I am starting to feel completely lost in life. My job as a nurse was my life, its what I love, and now w the economey It seems as if nobody is hiring.... I am just lost in "real life" gonna go pray pray pray
Aww dafish that made me cry, you know that's my fav verse.. Jer 29 11. Thanks everyone on the encouragement. Its just hard to get out right now w a 3 year old and its freezing cold and lots of snow.. I will move this mountain as well, tomm is a new day
30 days !!! Wow I am proud of you sister!!!
LIfe on lifes terms is here. Yes real life has come back my friend and there is no avoiding or escaping the challenges for us anymore. Just remember that we, by God's grace have overcome a mountain called addiction. When we were using we thought there was no way it could be done but here you and I stand at 30 days clean! We are a wonderful living testimonies that it can be done.
I really like what Sarah said. Slow down, do some little things, take the next right step and most of all rely on our faith. Solid advise there Sarah!!!
The enemy prowls around like a hungry lion looking for someone to devour. he wants us to be discouraged so we give in to his lies and the false comfort he offers in the pills. What a crock. I know for me, I must battle every negative though that enters my mind by thinking of the positive things that God has planned for my life.
Jer. 29 :11" 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
No matter what I have to kick the negative out. Really there are no big deals in my life other than staying off pills and staying close to God. If I do that all will fall into the order God wants it to be in. Today I will accept my lot, carry my cross, help others and give thanks for my 30 days clean.
Again, great job sister & keep posting because I always love reading them.

Slow the train down here. Make a list of the things you need to work on and start tackling them one at a time. When you look at the big picture it can be very overwhelming. Being laid off is stressful in itself but there are things you can be doing to utilize your time. Take this time to really work on your recovery. Get busy, go for a walk, rearrange the furniture, crank up the music, write a letter to an old friend, just stay busy and above all, rely on your faith.....You will get thru this. sara
Congrats on 30 days!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on 30 days!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the encouragement! I am giving it all to God. Ps... I don't live w mine anymore but cont to see eachother, idk gotta figure things out! Thx again
WOW. I literally couldve typed this myself with a few tweeks, Clean 5 days, nurse with a 6 yo but I LIVE with the father still. Guess too numb to leave over the last year?? I feel the same way about the "issues" present now, that have been ignored. But I can tell you, I had to work 12 hours all weekend after going cold turkey wed. night. Friday I was ready to throw in the towel, no way can I pass narcs all day and not pop one when I got home. NOPE. After saturday I knew I'd be just fine. So maybe see some light in not working over the last 30 days and being able to focus on your recovery, may help you feel a little better. As far as staying home, I have a friend who completed in-pt treatment for 30 days, got out, couldnt find a job, eventually relapsed d/t sitting at home bored all day. At least, thats her excuse. So while your job hunting I would find something to do during the day to get outta the house....or something fun in the house??? I dunno....just some suggestions =]
