Wow I should really proof read. Hehe oops. Y'all get the jest though I hope? :)
I'm so proud of you! I'm going to my first meeting today and I'm literally about to have a panic attack:/ I know it's what I HAVE to do though..
Thank you :) you will be just fine. Don't stress!! I'm kind of a hypocrite there though cuz I'm scared to go to one too. Lol. Sorry. Maybe let me know what's it like after? Please
I will! That gives me some kind of accountability;) I'm really bad at getting things started.
Hey girl, I think you made an awesome choice for aftercare! Yay! Talking everything out is a great step toward healing and confirming how courageous and awesome you are. Like any relationship, you will feel more comfortable as time goes on. So onward and upward! Fight on lil warrior!
Hey Krissy I'm so excited that you took that huge step. Speaking with counselor of any kind I found so scary. When I went to my 1st counselor about sexual abuse as a child than rape as adult. Actually speak out loud is so different than typing. And face to face as compared even via phone. I'm so proud of you. Keep up good work. I type all comments from my phone too than great auto correct changes some words but others that needs to be let go. Geez. Technology. Lol
Thank you ladies!! MsD you've helped me a lot on which way to go through our message chats,thank you and thank you for believing in me!!
WOW! Congrats on taking that step! I am so proud of you and reading what you wrote makes me look forward to my appt on Tuesday! I am so happy for you and Im sure the more you go the easier it will get! Hoping and Praying that you begin to find healing in your meetings with her!!! You are such an inspiration to me!!!! :)
Im proud of you, and you are taking steps towards some type of aftercare! I hope it helps! Do what works for you and keep me posted! Lots of Love Carrie
Well your not alone anymore. I too was given several addicting medications for medical reasons. I think that drs should really take more training and if they are to prescribe pills at least know how to help a person get off of them. You are doing great. I know it's not easy and I am glad you are building a strong support group.
Thank you cricketk92,I'm proud of you as well! You're doing awesome! How you feeling today?
Thank you Carrie Ann,I hope this works. I know I do feel better today than I did yesterday. Like a weights been lifted. Not all the weight,but a little bit. And you as well,you do what works for you! xox
Thank you Lilly :)
Dear Lord, girl...what you have been through! Why would you feel ashamed? You had CANCER...and it affected your marriage, your body, your feelings?
Its' not a "dirty" secret...its a very understandable dependency that grew from a horrible life event over which you had NO control.
I commend you for getting this out in front of you. "you're as sick as your secrets" is a popular saying in AA. You just took the first step to making yourself "whole" again.
Well done!
Hugs,

Thank you Robin,my doc says the same thing as you just did. But in my mind I let it go on way to long,I knew I didn't need them like I use to. I just didn't want to live w/o them and kept lying and saying the pain was unbearable so I could get more. I guess my emotional pain was,but not my physical pain. I'm proud of you btw,you're doing so good on your recovery journey!! xox
