I know it's a rough journey...try not to focus on all the ways you've let people down and try to focus on doing what you have to in order to get your life back. Have you thought about aftercare? The physical is one thing-but if you're not being honest with those closest to you-it's really hard to do this alone...No one does. Know that you are supported here and be proud of how far you've come...Know that the next step is up to you and you can reclaim your life....I know you're scared...One of my all-time fave sayings? "Feel the fear and do it anyway!" Just a thought...Sending support..Lu
Oh honey...Of course you're a good person...Addiction is a disease like any other and it happens to the best of us...You're only human after all. Shame is a tough thing..try to focus on how far you've come...twelve days! And there is no shame in getting help and support to get well..Would you judge someone who was fighting to get their life back in any way they could? If your husband loves you he's going to want you to get well...and addiction prospers in darkness...You are doing awesome and should be so proud of yourself...I'm proud of you....Be good to yourself and keep on going...It's a process....Lu
I just saw this post and am now crying! Ya all I can think about is aftercare but I live in a small oilfield town. I don't want my husband to be ashamed of me or ruin his reputation. I will look into it though just because you are right, I don't know if I can do this alone! Thanks Lu! It seems I've come to depend on your wisdom and kind words! I wish u could know that I am a good person who just somehow lost my way. Nor a prayer but I'll send good thoughts ur way.
Hang in there Christina, you got this! I got two hours of exercise tonight and it felt great for mind and body. Im sorry you are suffering so much....exercise helps me a ton. Gotta sweat it out...if you can will yourself too. Good luck im just a day ahead of you. You can do this...
Thank day 10 is so over! S**t day but it's over!! Gotta keep hope that tomorrow will be better! I need a better day! Without the guidance of a good friend, I would have too much of a mess.
I know the feeling of being scared, the mental stuff is real tough, even now. It should get better though. Hopefully your system starts to rebound. Ie..runs. I still have nowhere near the energy I hope I recover. Keep it up. You will prevail....
Congrats to day 11 for you! Glad ur feeling up! Stay with it! I'm also grateful for this site.
Thanks Lu I appreciate ur support! Feeling quite alone in this! Husband knows but not the whole story. Physical? Yep! Mentally& emotionally? Check and check!! I've disappointed and let my family down. I am so scared!
Day by day and sometimes moment by moment...Just hang in there-it took me about 12 days to feel functional and then everyday it keeps getting better. Is your struggle a physical thing or are you having a hard time mentally/emotionally? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question...Just want to support you...Lu
Thanks for the support, it does help! Now day 10 and still feel like s**t! Never thought I'd end up here! Day by day right?
Hey-I know the runs are no fun...(: Try bananas, bread, crackers, soup etc...They tend to have a binding effect...It helped me to think of it as the poison leaving my body quicker....stay hydrated and Immodium is the best if you are working or functioning and can't run to the bathroom all the time...It's hard to say how long it will last but you're doing great at 9 days and so stay the course.....Also-I take Probiotics (health food store) for my gut to help the natural bacteria...really helps me and I have Crohns Disease so extra bowel issues for me. Hang in there....Lu
Im drinking tons of gatorade, water and naked juice. I also ate mini wheats yesterday....maybe that helped? You will get thru it! Man it feels good to be clean now! Just had to say it..
Sorry typing on my phone...anyways hang in there and hopefully tommorow things get better...they will im sure, mine did on day 10. Good luck and take care
