just the begining

The race is on. The w/d have started. Shaky, nausea, constant trips to the bathroom, yeah its so much fun. How many of you had to withdrawl around little ones? I have 4 boys and none of them know what i am going thru. I just keep telling them i am sick, but i don't have much help with them. MY 4 year old is up my butt 24/7 so i can't seem to get him occupied long enough to leave me alone. my 20 month old is suprizingly not as bad. I guess i have no real question just wanted some support. Everyone wants me to quit but no one seems to understand that i might actually need some help. I have been in therapy but sadly the funding for the office was canceled. Now i have to find another therapist and the task seems daunting. Sorry i am whining but damnit i am a baby during w/ds. Any words of encouragement will be greatly appriciated.

If everyone wants you to get clean...you need to tell them you need some help for a few days....yu may be surprised at how willing they are...My kids are 9 and 13 and go to hteir dads alot...so when they were here i just told them i had the flu..

had my kids been younger..i would have given them a video fest, for as many days as it took!!! Hang in there and keep psoting...in the end this will be the best thing you have ever done, both for yuorself and your children!!!

YOU CAN DO THIS>>>>you go, girl

Keep posting!!!

i have five kids and have been through this more than once shame on me . it is not easy but just think of the reward of having your life back. you can do this dig way down deep and you can find the  strength to do this i will pray for you  keep up the good work it wont be easy but well worth it.  holly

i can only imagine that it is a nightmare, i have 2 boys that are 9 and 11 and thank god they are with their dad now-othrwise really i would not have chosen to do this c/t right now.  All i can say is to think of SOMEONE you can call and say you have the flu and you need help ASAP. i am only in first day and i am not answering the phone for fear of snapping someones head off.  i know that little ones cannot leave you alone for more than a minute at a time. maybe there is someone who might know of a babysitter (trusted) that you can take them to, with 4 it might be easier for someone to come to your home tho.  I so feel for you tho, you have to do this tho, for yourself and for them, and i know you can.

what occupies them?   got some movies to pop in for them?  Just remember you are sick right now....if you had the real flu you would be in the same boat...have you rallied some friends or family to help you out? I know I have trouble asking for help sometimes...maybe they could watch them just half the day for you...or one of them...the 4 year old  LOL!   Keep posting...i know it is hard with 4 children at home...

I can kinda understand..I have 3 kids, but the twin boys are now 16 and my little girl is 8 so now that I'm going thur. the w/d's they are like, God mom whats ur problem, which i try not to hit them on the back of the head lol...my little girl is still my shadow, so when i go to bathroom or laying there shaking i have to look at her and tell her to go play or something, that dose get to me!! But i do remember having the flu real bad one yr at the same time my twins had it, they were about a yr or younger, and it still gives me nitemares ha....
Venting helps, just keep posting and try and hang in there, it will get better :)

When was your son born and what is his name?  My son's name is Ian and he was born on June 10th, he has been especially challenging since he learned how to crawl about a month and a half ago.  I feel as if I am chasing him everywhere and when I try to change his diaper now, he screams and rolls over.  He is teaching me patience.

You can do this. After a few days the physical is pretty much over. With four kids that is going to be somewhat of a challenge but think of how much better you will be in the long run. You're doing a good thing. Good luck and keep posting, it really helps. So do the hot baths with Epsom salts. Also look at the Amino Acid pages in the health pages section.

Most men don't do well with baby's my son is 9 months too!!

[kris123]

I can not really relate but i so understand about how children can get to you when you are trying to make yourself better - is there someone that can help you with them?  I am not sure what you were on?  i am assuming it is pills - i feel for you and having so many children can get to you and now your dealing with them - get it out - it feels good to talk about it - sorry i don't understand but just wanted to say i am here - i don't post to often and most don't know me but I give my 2 cents here and there.

I have a 9 month old son, so I feel your pain.  I am only at 2 weeks, my husband isn't that much of a help either so I felt that it was really tough the first few days.  Especially when I was really shaky and would be trying to feed the baby.
