Day two

[denise3606]

I am amazed at the difference this final time...My physical is not good of course, but My Mental is so much better...As of right now I woke up this morning not wanting a pill and knowing I would have to pay the price for going back..They are not worth it...I am so grateful to all of you for your support and not judging me..I was so afraid of that, but yet I don't judge others...I am always harder on myself...I am getting ready for church and will just kick back after that...I wish it was not Hell outside, I could go for a walk...It is hot 24 7 here...Talk to you later

Hugs to you Denise!! I love sweet cherries! We get a couple pounds a week while they're in season. :-)

I really really never want to go through this again...I don't what is coming my way, it will be done with no pain pills...It really ticks me off that we are such a drug nation..Drugs for whatever is wrong..I am doing this way different now...I am going to foods that heal...Did you know that 6-8 cherries a day helps with arthritis. This is what I am doing this time... I am eating lots of bananas for the restless leg..But it isn't bad yet, maybe this is why because I am eating lots of bananas..Thanks for being here....I know this too shall pass...Hugs

Congratulations on day two. I like what you said about this being your final time. Me too. My 12-step sponsor call's it "sick and tired of being sick and tired". I think that's what's going on with both you and I. I'm on recovery #3 and the thought of going through all of that misery again keeps me working on my recovery. Every day I try to do something positive for my recovery. I truly believe I don't have another recovery left in me.

Keep fighting the fight, get through this and enjoy your new life. Peace and serenity can be a healthy addiction!!

I relate to what you're saying. Once I truly surrendered to the idea that my drug days were over, it really made it easier. Not easy, but doable. I found that staying in things that encourage me to grow is the key to my relapse prevention. Glad to hear you're going to church. Keep that fantastic attitude, you are doing it! Remember to keep growing, especially as you feel better. There is no such thing as 'good enough' for me, I always look forward to life being even better. Congrats on your progress.

Got back from church about an hour ago...I fell on Thursday night and I am all bruised up and hurting...But I refuse to take anything..Just drinking water and eating healthy and resting...I wish I could take a walk, but it is too dang hot here...I know this will take time, but I feel really good about having all of you for support...No one can do this alone....
