not so foggy headed

[plymouthgirl]

when i started on the the norco 2 years back it made me forget about every thing and everyone. it made me not care to much about anything.all i cared about was if my friend had more.i would not go out with my family to do anything if i did not have enough norco to take with me.missed alot of family outings because my freind was going to get some more the next day or some thing like that.my kids would come home from school and i would be asleep on the sofa and just stay there. I never and a clear head i would pop a pill or 2 every couple hours just to get that head feeling. my husband would want to go do something and iwould lie to him about something just because i spent all his money on those yellow pills. well its been 62 hours I not foggy in the head and i like that feeling even better i will be able to do family stuff again and have money.even made breakfast for my kids this morning..wow that felt great!!!!!!!!! sorry for going on guys just trying to stay busy

Congratulations on telling her no!! That is an accomplishment all on its own.  Give yourself a pat on the back.  Also I know it will be hard to tell your husband, but when people close to you know that you are an addict, they can help you stay clean.  Especially when we have our weak moments.  I told my entire family.

thanks all you guys for being here.i need the support but i can do this for me and my family. my freind called today wanting to know how many i need i said none thank you i'm done and i asked her not to call me no more.Im going to talk with my husband tonight and tell him everthing i know he will be mad but i know he loves me to and he will help me with my so called friend if she calls back. i told her not to so i hope she will listen. but even if she does i will turn her down i like being clean to much and love my family to much to go back down that path

Congratulations!!  It sounds like you really want to make this.  I totally understand how you felt, that you couldn't go anywhere unless you had enough pills.  I wish you the best of luck.  I know that I lost count on how long its been because I relapsed and then I didn't start count again, but I know today I feel more normal than I have in years.  Good Luck and Lots of Love.

Staying busy is important, if you spend your time laying around & dreading detox it can make things worse, trust me when I say, I dont want to go to work today, but I have to, ya just gotta keep living life, kids dont get it & its not their faults but unfortunatly to many kids end up getting stuck in the family disease of addiction, Im glad to hear that yours are not, as In the past this is something I did & I now regret, Im detoxing off of methadone right now & I make sure that I keep our routine simple & as normal as possible, I mean hes not the one detoxing from methadone so why should I not cook for him or play with him, etc, I dont always want to but I do, but as a parent ya got to.

I can relate.  I missed out on several years of family outings, gatherings, and just life in general.  I'm livin' life again now, and makin' up for all I missed out on.  Hang in there girl, you may have some times ahead of you where you are sweatin' your decision to get clean, but those days will pass, and you will get through it all and come out on top of the world.
