This day will soon pass and you will be on to day 10. All that matters is that you got thru it! Great Job! Exercise is always good! I wish I was motivated to exercise-motivating being a clown with a bloody knife chasing me or something. Keep up the good work.((hugs)))~Bkitty
Better than taking a pill. This whole thing is so strange. I'm almost 8 months clean but I too am having a difficult day. I know my wife has my daughter's script for Norco (she's getting wisdom teeth pulled). Thank God my wife knows everything about my addiction because I found myself casually wandering upstairs to our bedroom and tearing apart my wife's purse looking for the script or, better yet, the pills. None. After a couple of minutes I stopped, and the shame was pretty heavy duty. Would I have used if I found meds? Probably. But thankfully I had put roadblocks in place months ago just in case a day like this happened. I know me too well.
Sorry - just venting. Congrats on day 9; in a couple more I'll be congratulating you on two weeks clean. I really does get better.
Glad you are still hanging in there my frIend!! Day 9-be proud!! I know you said you were exhausted and I hope you got some rest. This no sleep thing is messed up and makes it difficult to think clear. You did amazing last night; I am so happy for you. Look on the bright side you are not sweating all over your patients anymore ;-)
Lol Nursey7...true! That made me smile ;) At this point I am so exhausted I am just going to lay down and pray for some sleep and hope someone up there listens ;) How are you doing my dear??
Bkitty...that was a funny post! Thanks for the encouragement!
Kyle- wow. I admire your honesty and your strength ...it seems like you might not have one every battle today but overall you won the war. I dont know if 'war' was the exact word I was looking for but you know what I mean...Very motivating.
War is good. Maybe a little dramatic, but during times when I'm fighting my cravings, well, war is good.
Its already day 10 and you made it!
I am so proud that you pushed yourself to go on Hike Thats great!
