Wow 22 days

[TS8777]

Well I made it another day!!!!!!!! Today I am going to buckle down and do some packing :) I plan to do more than just 1/2 a box :) my goal is to pack until I just can't pack anymore...... My sleep is still real messed up and it ***** not being able to sleep but I know all in time!!!!!!! I am also going to go donate a lot of things to the one of the homeless shelters here in Jacksonville. So busy busy busy day. I just want to give a word of encouragement to those who are just starting to detox or are reading these threads and wanting to detox because you are sick and tired of the pill chasing life. I will be honest these 3 weeks have been VERY VERY hard, but it does get a little easier each day that passes. Please everyone stay strong, there is so much more to life than pills. I am still feeling the depression, but like I said I am going to give it time use to the fact I do not want to depend on any kind of pill again just to get through my days of life that God has blessed me with. And I want to feel the wonderful emotions that my 2 babies give me along with the love from my husband. I have missed out on too many years and I refuse to miss out on another minute. Whether it be good or bad, I will just have to fight harder through the bad moments. Come on everyone let's defeat this demon together and truly kill him instead of knocking him down and allowing him to get back up. He is not getting back up this time in my life. We all face the same demon and if I could kill yours along with mine I would do it in a heart beat for you, I don't wish this on anyone!!!!!! The truth is though we face the same demon YOU HAVE TO DEFEAT AND KILL THAT SON OF A GUN YOURSELF. All we can do is support each other through this hard difficult time. Love to everyone stay strong I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. Lets get our lives back, there is too much to enjoy. For life is like vapor. It is gone before we even know it. Life truly is short and we only get one shot at it, so let's live a happy happy happy pill free life together!!!! I pray everyone has a good day. Please pray that I get a lot accomplished today. Thank you to EVERYONE on here, you all have been a true blessing.
