well this has been a roller coaster day. good moments and bad but more good than anything. wow...but guess what - i made it another day. again wow! tomorrow will be the start of day 10 and i am going back to work after 8 weeks off from my ankle surgery.  pray for me. i think i will be okay with all my clean working friends around not to mention my boss LOL and all the work that has most assuredly been piling up.  GOD this means I have to get up at 4:30 am tomorrow and get my butt moving sober?! OMG that is so intesely scary. stay with me people. I come here often to read ( dont always post - dont want y'all to tire of my babbing) but reading and sharing with you all is getting me through.

I just saw your notes you left me. cried as i read them, felt blessed for the support and the sincerity i know was in each sentance you typed to me...me?  i dont deserve you. STOP - thats what i would have said 9 days ago but today i realize that i DO deserve help and support and all that you give because i am worth it. the realization hits that I am an ADDICT and i want to put my tail between my legs and run and hide from the shame. Now I realize this was not all my fault. sure i am to blame for abusing them but these are nasty little evils that i know now are the fault of the drs and dealers that hook us on them. GODSPEED to us all and keep the notes and good thoughts coming.....i am not through this yet.

Its good,,all good :).

Your doing great! You beat temptation again! Where do "YOU" find that strength???. See, you had it all along but under-rated yourself because you didn't have anything to compare it to. Well, look what you've done so far..Up and down days are going to be there but they will pass. I'm having a slightly off day too. Think its because I'm tired though. Last couple of days have been pretty busy. Been a long week for you so reward yourself today. Take a break,go wow I made it thru this week, and tommorrow is the start of the next..You can do this,,I'm convinced more than ever now :)
