Thank you all! Thank God I haven't had to miss one day due to all the w/d. I look at my daughter and just want her to be proud if the fun , sill mom... And not an addict. She's my life and my whole reason for breathing!! Maybe one day I can tell her.... Maybe not. But when I see my angel it makes things all better. Just kinda had a rough day... This, too, shall pass. :) stay strong everyone!
Hang in there Maamaw, you will get through this! 2 weeks is awesome. The dark chocolate suggestion is great! It really helped me with the cravings! Here's hoping that tomorrow will be a much better day!
If there is some dark chocolate anywhere around eat a couple pieces. That helps with the cravings. Keep busy. You have much to be grateful for, dont forget that.
Congratulations on your 2 weeks and that you are at work, you are a strong woman!!! Try not to think about it and just get through today it seems like I have ups and downs pain wise as well as the body adjusts but it will get better I promise. You have come so far, keep on keeping on sister you can do this:))
Oh yea, great point about the music Vic! Music helped/helps me so much! I got through so many cravings one song at a time!
First I want to say good job on your 2 weeks. I give you my up most respect that you are even at work. This could be good mentally to keep your mind busy. Just try to keep it busy and let the cravings pass. Set for a moment and pray for this to pass. This is a life long process into our Recovery and there will be good days and bad. Stay in tune to your self that this is all it is. Do Not give in. You are still in very early recovery and you will have lots and lots waves come and go.
Take a Bayer aspirin. I found out this worked even better then Motrin. When you get home, lights some candles with some soft music and take a Bath. Do Not give in to that Tape in your Brain that likes to play the "Feel Good" Tape over & over. You will be so proud of your self to make it another day..That is why we only have day to day..Glad you did post about your cravings..Stick around we will hold your hand.
Bless
Happy 2 weeks! Sorry your struggling! Their will be days like that! Keep busy and NO PILLS! NO MATTER WHAT! You can get through this! One choice at a time!
