Just wondering how you are doing. Haven't heard from you in a day or so... You are in my thoughts....

Joan

Hey- Good to here from you. I posted a thread earlier today about my headaches. That and being tired are constant reminders of the pills. The actual cravings are gone. I feel like I am doing better than most that post on here are. Looking back over the last couple of weeks, there has been alot going on. Me and my Dad own a grocery store, that requires 50-60 hours p/week plus I started running again. I am tired. Today would be another score day for me. If someone offered to give them to me I have the strength to turn them down. I know I don't make any sense. I hope you read my reply the other day, especially since I read this morning where you went to the Dr. yesterday. This weekend my wife and I are going to Chicago. I think this will help me clear my mind. Plus I have some major BUTT kissing to do. Hang in there and I will pray for you. Thank you so very much-Mike

Hi Mike,

Yeah, I saw your other post after I posted this....sorry for that...

You know, getting away from where you are could possible be the best thing you could do for yourself right now. Like I posted somewhere else, I went on a week long camping trip from day 4, and I do truely beleive that is why I have made it to day 17!!! Because for the entire time I was away, I really didnt think about pills. Well not consciously anyway, the thought was always in the back of my mind, but I knew there wasn't anything I could do about it.

Actually, my Dr appt is this morning, but I am only going for (hopefully) something to help with the depression I seem to be sinking into. and something non narcotic for the very real pain that I am quickly becoming aware of again for the first time in a very long time!!! This Doc knows my history, so I am sure he won't try to give me anything that I'm not so sure I have the willpower to turn down just yet. So keep positive thoughts for me, I really hope he doesn't just brush me off like some of them can do sometimes.

Take care of youself!!! And Stay Strong, you are almost there!!
