I am back and terrifed and embarrassed

If I could only have stayed focused on this I was reading through here and I would be well over two weeks clean.  On day three I ended up going to get a script thinking I would taper myself down.  Well that didnt work either....I was to embarassed to post anything but this is just crazy.  I was miserable w/d and I have been miserable the past few weeks....so this is it.  I HAVE TO DO THIS.....I am just so terrified.  Hell I couldnt even make it past day 3 before and to top it of i will be on day 2 of w/ds and starting a new waitress job.  I found this sight such a comfort and even made a few friends but then was just to stupid to talk to anyone about what i was doing and now here i am again.  I just honestly dont know if I have the strenght in me to do this......but I dont have the strength in my to keep living the way I am.....I am just lost and embarrassed and very confused.  Most of all I am just so mad at myself.  So dang mad.

YES...You can do this!!!!  She's around.  I'm sure she'll pop in sooner than later.  We're always checking on each other as we beat this hell together.  It's really nice to find someone in the same situation as yourself.  There are a lot of posts of people at the same stage as you...friend one and do it together.  We had some really bad days but we stuck it out together and became close friends after the devil was gone.

You are welcome...

"Why cant I be a normal person?" is a question i though about a lot. But when you say this now, I must say: normal is a relative thing. And you are "normal". You just lost yourself somewhere on the way, and you are not the only one. It just happens. To a lot of people...  

You feel guilty. And that˙s not so weird. But don`t do that. At least try. That kills your power. You did some things you are not proud of, but we all did. Every person. and I totally understands how you feel, but try not to bother yourself w/this now, try to focus on staying clean. You will have a lot of time to analyze past, but now it`s time for you to focus on new page you are turning in your life... Try not to think about all the bad things, that makes some negative energy and makes you more vulnerable...

you feel bad because you reach this point. when we run away from reality it is hard to see ourselves and that`s how you ended up here. and now you are going back to real world so all this (negative) feelings, trapped inside of you, are getting out. But don`t let them to overpower you. Because this time is different. This time you can do it. And you will succeed...

You have a choice. And you are strong enough to manipulate yourself to think positive. You can blame yourself or not. You can think "no one is stupid like me" (even though deep inside you know that`s not realistically true), or "worse stuff had happen. At least I didn`t kill anyone or took somebody else`s life and choice". I think that`s the worst thing person can do.And you didn`t...

Very good...you have no choice but to do this.  I know you are tired of living in a fog, always looking at the stupid clock and calculating when you can take another pill, and praying every day that you just want to be normal again.  Like it or not, we are all DIFFERENT on these pills.  I never believed that until I was done.  I was not the same and I HATED that person.  Over 40 days clean now and I haven't thought about the devil in weeks.  I even had guys doing them right in front of me and I almost puked looking at them.  I promise...you WILL get there.  I had sooooo much to live for before I stopped...I now have soooooo much MORE to live for.
