Trying to keep my patients but it hard.how am I going to do this. Please tell me how long is this going to last! Help please. I even find it hard to type.

My "friends" are cut so to speak. Im trying to think an hour, min at a time. I'm pushing trying, praying. I just got out of the bath, that helped a little. Starting to come on strong again though. I get so bad at myself for letting it get this out of control. I get angry at the doctors to. I'm still not better from what caused this in the fist place do I'm experiencing the withdrawal pains and the pain that started this in the first place. I fell pissed off at everything right now. Thanks everyone for being there.

Hey girl, don't look ahead!!! It's so hard to remember the basic saying: One day at a time. For you, it may be one minute at a time. You may say to yourself: Can I make it for the next 10 minutes? Keep it small, tiny.

What about your contacts? And the person you got them from the other day?

[scaredmamaneedshelp]

Thanks everyone. Yes I read the thread. It has helped. Just having a super hard time. I don't have anyone to baby sit but I'm trying to remain strong. I keep telling myself I got this. Four days,a week, 3 weeks seems so far away right now.

Hey there mama!  Awesome job on day 2!  Yep, it $ucks. But you are further now than you were 2 days ago.  You are getting there!  Do NOT quit...your babies deserve a sober mother.  A healthy mother. A mother who is present in their lives...not shutting them out cuz she is on drugs.  I know, I have been there.  The worst of the physical WD's should be heading out by day 4ish.  This, by no means, states that you will be back to normal.  It means that after around day 4 the symptoms slowly start to fade away.  Everybody is different.  Do not cave.  Cut your sources if you have not already done so.  You will never, ever, ever regret getting sober....I promise you.  However, if you cave, you will be kicking yourself in the arse and having to plan a do-over.  And guess what?  Each time you do-over, it gets harder.  So, stick it out girl!  Keep moving forward!
God Bless!

Scared, go read slneedshelp thread. It's right above yours. Let me know what you think.

Are ALL your contacts cut? Did you leave any "windows" open?

Stay in the present moment. It's going to be ok.  Eat foods you love.
