lisaaahubb....good job on 19 days sober...keep it up...dont look back...youll feel better each day/night that goes by....damm, you made it this far....dont disappoint me,ok.....damm,19 days....go,go,go...tomorrow itll be twenty(20) and then 21,ect.....you make this happen for the rest of us that are here but havent made it just yet...you should hit some a/a or n/a's too,its best to surround yourself with people who are in recovery too and please stay away from folks who are still usin and within arms reach......damm,im proud of ya.....chef

Me too! That's awesome! I know you are starting to feel so much better and back to your normal 'clean' self. I'm SO proud!!! Keep it up and don't look back... just look at today! Are you still going to meetings? Even if they make you feel badly, I really think it's important because you cannot 'pretend' that you aren't an addict. I can relate to how you are thinking/feeling and I've been there. You CAN go to those meetings. Remember, you really don't have a choice... GO! And I'm SO happy for you!

THANK YOU!!!!! :D
And yes i am going to meetings...NA, at least 2 or 3 X a week.
I haven't felt this good in years!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the encouragement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
luv,
LISA

:wave: hiya there, good job...i hope your day went well, work as usual and home to the computer, fighting a little cold here, but hey god knows i can handle that....clean here too day five after the pain med incident, not feeling to bad still not sleeping right, i long for the day my head hits the pillow and i wake up in the morning without tossing and turning and clock watching all night...soon i hope..ill wait it out, got nothing but time here..

willow...stay off those opiates,they rob you of natural sleep/r.e.m.....once youve detoxed your system/receptors return to normal youll sleep there good buddy...thats one thing about bupenorphine thats a positive...it puts you in rem sleep..now im on 60mg of methadone and thats a different story...i can go to sleep,but wake up frequently thru out the night.....dont feel refreshed in the a.m...same as hydro/oxy...but sleep is a benefit of recovery,so shoot for it willow...later.....chef

Yeah, Lisa!! I know how you talked about how you feel sometimes after the meetings (it's so intense), but you must be feeling better now that you are "clean"? I can't wait!! You are my inspiration!! I am so proud of you. I just can't wait until I post "Day One--No Pills." And it is going to happen!! Even if my husband has to do it because I am in the hospital. Way to go, girl.

Good Job Lisa!

Wait, what Rosie? You are in the hospital right now? What is the matter? Please let me know ASAP b/c we are leaving for a ski trip and I don't want to worry about you! You have me concerned now...... :confused:


Lisa, I am so proud of you. When I get back, I want to see a post saying, "yeah, 25 days of sobriety!" You have always been an inspiration to me...always!

Will miss ya'll,
michelle

Sorry, Michelle, no I am not in the hospital. I had ended up talking about me and cut and pasted into my own thread where I talked about wondering whether my fil and his friend would end up trying to put me in the hospital when I see them next week. Upon reading it I can see why you would be concerned!! So have fun on your trip with no worries about me (well, maybe a few prayers would help). I know, we are all so proud of lisa. Lent is a perfect time for me to take this on, and I will by hook or by crook be off of this stuff before Easter!!!!

But thnx for the concern. Have a great time.

rosie

Oh thank goodness. I noticed I hadn't seen alot of posts from you lately, but just figured you were busy? Next time, I will make sure!

My husband did the same thing, remember? Wanted to put me in a hospital and I just put my foot down and told him I WOULD AND COULD beat this with his and God's help as well as some type of support system (meetings)!

I hear "distress" in you- hang in there. Things are grim right now, but will get better. Focus on that light at the end of the tunnel! It is there, I promise!

I'll check in when we get back. My thoughts and prayers are with you,
michelle
