Day 3.... Still going

[dedicatedtostop]

Just wanted to post and let everyone know I am still going strong. Yesterday was an Emotionaly Horrible day for me and You Guys got me through it. Wow you really got me through. Up and at it today, the emotions have seemed to have vanished right now(Lord please let that stay away). Been up cleaning a little bit, playing with my girls and intend to take a shower and get out of the house. Lastnight I prayed myself to sleep

I do have a question... I think this may have been a mistake I made... I loaded up on the immodium on day 1 because i knew what it would be like... Lastnight, needless to say I was in the bathroom. Then it hit me... My body needed to rid that waste to heal and I was holding it in with the immodium... Anybody have any thoughts there?

Posting a HUGE thanks to everyone for yesterday!!! I plan on taking one day at a time

its really great to see your so much more up beat than yesterday, you are doing well! i know what you mean about the imodium, you want to let nature take its course, and flush you out, but just have the imodium if you get stomache cramps, stay strong, we are here for you,  god bless.

I could not being doing this or most things without God, He has and will be my one constant in my life. I pray for all of us going through this hell. But I do believe!!

And I indeed stand with you.... what two come together in beleive, nothing will over power..... Deliverance

Sara, thank you so much, yesterday was a rough one and by the power of God, and medhelp I made it. Starting to look at the positives like I posted a year ago

Thanks somedays I seem more confused that right, I seem to have a hard time finding what I post, the only way I can find myself is to find dedicatedtostops name and then go through hers. I know,  One day at a time!!

[dedicatedtostop]

Thanks for the encouragement. First off this is a thread, i posted you replied and so on and so forth...
Yes yessterday was an awful day, I prayed my heart out lastnight. I know I am not 100 percent even near i need to be, but I have found hope and Joy through my maker. I have also accepted that this process is just an absolute must to get me where i need to be, and i can either dwell in it or try my darndest to make the best of it! Hope you can apply that to yourself. Remember I know I post this alot.... but failure is not falling down, its not getting back up.... You got back up, now stay up!

[0421]

what is a thread?? I have read what it says but I can't seem to find it on home page, or is posting like I do the same thing?  Only  been at this a few days, but so  encouraged by you all??

[dedicatedtostop]

I love hearing from you!! Cant beleive I got myself back here. Oh well Failure is not falling down but its not getting back up right!? So proud of you!!!!!!!! Hope you are doing well. Yes PLEASE pray.... and to all that is reading this.... I KNOW this, the word says if two or more people stand together and beleive together than Nothing outweighs the power of that prayer.. I pray for my medhelp friends and myself to overcome this and that the spirit be within us to overcome and carry the burden... i hope those of you reading this will stand with me and pray the same prayer. I know I will

I am glad you are having a good day, I had a great night last night, slept in my own bed and so far today a little nervous but sooooo much better then Friday. Sure know you don't take one pill to get you through the night. So I am 8 days clean with one slip. But that one slip set me back a long way, who would of thought one pill and right back to  the flu symptoms and I was so mad at myself, I paniced. One day at a time, I hear others say their leg cramps come back I sure hope I am one of the lucky ones and they don't. I sure am encouraged by your success.

Hey good work and I wish you hope and success with your recovery. When I was detoxin I drank 2-gallons of water a day.It could flush all of that toxic chemical crap the we abused.Stay focust I will say a prayer for you.ED

Thanks guy's.... Wish i never would have taken another one 6 months ago, my year of clean time was so wonderful. But I am over the point of dwelling and learning from the mistake I made. I do Indeed have a great deal of faith, and I know that I am going to have struggles ahead of me,(yesterday for example) But my maker got me through, and medhelp!! I love my children with all of my heart and every day of he** i have to go through will be woth it I know.

I am seeing it like this.... after months and months of prayer(after taking the first one 6 months ago) God gave me a second chance and I am going to run with it, rebuild my life as it once was, along with my relationship with God above all and my family and one day  I hope to be able to witness and be a living testomoney to those that struggle with this horrible addiction that we all do............. BIG HUGZ..... BIG BIG hug to Drew for being there so much

[Drew23587]

I certainly understand when you say your emotions are all over the map!  Mine are the same right now.  I try to step back from my emotions as such observe the cycling of them and not be so afraid..  I am trying to accept that this will be the way it is for a time.  As you know, it will get better.

I am so happy to hear you are getting over the hump!  You have a great deal more on your plate with kids, hubby, etc than I do.  But as know, it is sooo worth it!

Congratulations dedicated!  You must have incredible faith and love for your family.  That will get you though. I am on day 5, not too far ahead of you. For me it seems like the last 2 days have been exponentially better. Keep on going. BTW - hot tub/jaccuzzi is pretty helpful if you have access.

[dedicatedtostop]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep i think it was a mistake, I just remembered how bad it was a year ago and prepared for the worst. My physicaly symptoms have been nothing like the first. But oh my the emotions yesterday was terrible. I think that is why i feel better today, because i stopped the immodium.. Oh well I cant take it back. I cant even tell you how much gatorade i have been through.. Just taking it hour by hour now

[Drew23587]

Glad to hear you are going strong!

Regarding the immodium, I never used this.  I thought the same as you.  I wanted my body to get rid of all of that.  If I was having increased bathroom issues I would use pedialyte for dehydration.  And as you know boost is good too.   Whatever works for you.

You are doing great!
