Getting through today

I think I'm in for a rough day, I slipped yesterday and even though it's still very early in the day I'm already really craving the pills. I'm going to work in a few minutes and am trying to stay strong but I feel weak. As we go about our daily activities lets pray for everyone feeling like me today. For every time I pick up my phone to make that pill call, my plan is to say a prayer for all of us that we put down the phone b4 making the call. It's a tough road we're on but my mom says "nothing worth having ever comes easy", Whatever your religious beliefs lets all ask for strength today not just for ourselves but for everyone who is in the same situation today.
I posted this instead of making the call to find oxys. I'm so glad I have this forum and such wonderful loving people, thank you.

I'm accepting your prayers and sending out some as well.  It's good of you to think of others as you're going through tough times yourself.  

Thank you.

Thank you, you are absolutely right. Before I found this forum a slip would turn into a binge but knowing I can come here and talk to people who are going through this with me helps so much, and reading the successes of other people makes me believe I can do it to.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day...naturally!

You made the right decision to not pick up that phone, that's an incredibly hard thing to do, i know.  Just know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  This is a hell of a struggle and knowing that we're not alone in this , even if it's over the computer, helps a lot.  Have a good day at work and stay strong.
