Hi all :wave: Well today my hubby has been without any pills 2 weeks.. Still taking the L-tysoine and B-6 doing really good.. We even went out last Friday night and he had a blast.. Went to breakfast afterwards and he stayed awake..lol.. :bouncing: I know he still has along way to go but i feel he's gonna make it.. It's always gonna be in the back of my mind though.. I was kinda thinking about buying one of those Drug test from home.. But my question is if he's been using for atleast a year and snorting them how long should i wait to give him one.. I'm not sure how long it would stay in his system..Like i would hate to give him one then it come out possitive but it still be in him..So should i give him another week.. I think i need to do that just for my own peace of mind.. Plus to show him i can do it at anytime.. Well i hope everyone is doing well have a great weekend..Were going to a Italian fest on Sunday where i live in Bristol so that should be some fun were all gonna ride our motor cycles so hopefully the rain holds out.. Take care all :angel: Kim <<<<Not lonely in PA anymore whooooooo hooooooooo :bouncing: :bouncing:

Hello. that is great news, I am happy for him , and you. I am not sure how long pills stay in the body but pot stays 30 days... MY son smoke pot every day for 4 years he had been stopped for 4 weeks and half when he took the drug test for work. and past it . some drugs come out much faster. I hope someone will come alone soon that can give you more advice. BUT GREAT NEWS KEEP SMILING Felicia

Yeah!!!!!! Good for him!!! It is wonderful for both of you!!! I hope he keeps up the good work!! Sounds like you are going to have fun this weekend. I was wondering where you had gone. You haven't been on here in awhile. No wonder! You have your husband back! There is no need to get on here everyday looking for a friend! Have a good weekend!!
Take care!!

hi - thats great! How was the detox in the beginning and did he start with the vitamins ? What was he snorting - I apologize if I missed that ( and how much? Any advice would be great - I'm also detoxing but not c/t , with sub's which I know now cause w/d' when coming off. Keep up the good work! :angel:

Hi Jewel1060.. He went c-t had his last pill on a Thursday night started taking the vitimens the very next day.. He was snorting oxycotins perc vics whatever he bought.. I"m really not even sure how much he was doing i know he was doing everyday though for atleast 7 months.. He just started this past weekend with only 2000 mg of the L-tysoine and one B-6 .. We were thinking the Sub route also but his ins don't cover it plus he really didnt want to try and taper off something else.. I really have to tell you though i can see such a difference in him.. He's alert he's happy not moody and slurring and just plain yucky anymore... The bedroom activity is also coming back ...LoL.. The first couple of days though his nose would really run and bleed i guees because of all the damage he did..He says this is the best he felt in a long time..Now his back still hurts but we are gonna try and do some exercises for that.. Plus he is gaining some weight i guess it's from coming off the pills he eats like a horse but i will take that anyday over them dander little pills.. I hope everything works out for you also.. He just going one day at a time.. He says he can't promise me tomorrow but he says he can try..That's good enough for me..We been together a long long time 20 Years this past August 17th and will be Married 15 Years sept 21st... So i feel like what ever i can do to help him i will he's my world him and my kids.. I know i'm his world now to.. Since the fog has been clear... Take care Stay Strong :angel: Kim

Kim,
That is so wonderful that his head is still clean!! Tell him to keep up the good work!! I hope you guys had a good weekend! Today was the first day of school. Only half a day today. My 5 year old just started kindergarten. He was so excited, he couldn't even sleep!! In Sept. is when my 4 year old starts pre-k. She was ready to go before school even got out! She is just counting down the days now. My hubby and me are doing pretty good. He is doing wonderful! Working his but off and staying clean. Me, on the otherhand, I was doing okay. Last weekend, my neighbor passed away. We were really close. I am taking care of her animals still. It is really hard, going into her house and feeding her animals. I am getting better though. It seems like every time the sun starts shining, them darn clouds have to come back and cover it up. I remind myself daily that, god doesn't give you more than you can handle. Sometimes, it feels like I can't handle it. Besides that, everything else, has been doing great!

Anyway, you take care!!
Angela

Hi Angel :wave: Yes he is doing so so so much better ... Wow your kids start early.. Mine this year are starting the 31st but there not counting down the days...lol Well my 10 yr od girl is alittle siked but the boy lol he is like man!!!!!!! He's gonna be 14 in sept... But i'm like whooooooooo hooooooooo ... Save me 100.00 a week on camp for my little one... :bouncing: I am so sorry to hear about your neighbor.. Were you guys really close...? How old was she? I lost my best friend alittle over 7 years ago... We were friends since 7 years old and she died at 28 and 4 kids later... I still have my days with it but i know she is somewhere better.. The hard part for me is i was with her.. There were 4 of us we were broadsided on our way home from the airport by a tractor trailer she died pretty much instantly...I go to her cematary when i feel like i have to talk to her.. It helps time does heal... So happy to hear Hubby doing well also.. You know what i really don't know anything about ur hubby what was his addicted to? Talk to you soon Kim

We were really close. She was only 54. She found out 4 years ago, she had hepatitis c and cirrhosis. We knew it was gonna happen. Just not when. You are never ready though. I was with her at the hospital. It was pretty bad. She ended up bleeding to death. She was coherent most of the time. I wish she hadn't been. Oh, it was so awful. Only something I would expect to see in a horror flick. She didn't have kids. My kids kind of adopted her as grandma. It has helped me some to talk about it. I'm glad that I went and was by her side. Then, I also wish I hadn't seen as much as I did.

My hubby was addicted to vicodin. He had been taking it for 2 years. Then, had back surgery and after that they put him on percacets. They tried to wean him off!! Yeah, that worked. Total, he was taking pills for three years. He has been clean for 9 months and counting!!! It is still hard to trust sometimes. Not as hard as it was though. He ended up in the ER a couple weeks ago. He refused meds!! I never would've believed it if I didn't hear it myself. Felt like a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. It felt great!!
Take care!!

Angela wow thats soooo sad... Sad for you and also your kids... It's always hard when you loose someone so close to you.. I don't know if i could of handle it being with her that had to be hard.. I didn't know my friend had past till about 2 days after the accident.. I was in the hospital and i thought she was next to me... guess they had me dope up who knows i had stiches in my face my head and my hand.. My hubby and Debbie's sister told me..That was her name.. At first i was like what.. Then i came to terms with it.. They had photo's of the wreck and to this day i have not looked at them.. It was our fault.. Doing things i guess we were not suppose to be doing.. I use to think about her everyday but i catch myself not as much anymore but........... You will never forget the special times... I loved her i have had friends since then but.... i'm close to them but never as close as i was with her not sure if it's something i'm afraid of..But my other friend that was in the car with her i talk to her almost everyday and ever since Debbie's death we always say love ya... There things i wish i could of said now but i beleive when i go to her grave she hears me.. Well it's time to go to lunch lol... Just take one day at a time... By the way hows the kids handleing it..

He just got engadged the other Year and gonna be married oct... He always says he loves this new lady which she is wonderful... But he will tell me he could never love her like Debbie.. Kim
