Hi Jerri,
I did want to make sure you knew I was ok. I am. I went to detox for 3 nights and 4 days. It was tought but I am doing well now. I still fight cravings, especailly when I am really stressed. But I know pills are not the answer. Jerri, again thank you for your support.

Gena, ( I hope I spelled your name correctly) I would be more then happy to share my experinces with you. I had a tought road, but I am getting of that road. JUst post another message and ask me anything you want. I want to help anyone that has a problem, or lives with someone that does. I have been there, done that so again, just let me know what you want to know about me and my addiction.

Take care both of you!
Jill

Carri,

I want to know whatever you want to tell me. It's one thing to listen to those like me that continuously talk about the struggle and ways we make it worse for ourselves. There has to come a time that it has to end. It can end with my sudden silence; did I finally die? Or it can end with my taking the steps to recovery.

I choose recovery. The fight to stay recovered is even harder than the different avenues of escape that we all choose.

The good news is; recovery opens your eyes to what you've been missing all this time. The increasing love of your life becomes all consuming and is an ispiration to those who are still wondering if they too can do it.

Now that you've gone through the detox; use all of us to ensure continued success. Let us use you to get to the place that you are now.

Carri... I want so badly to be where you are. I'm afraid at the same time. Please share yourself? I would like to hear success stories instead of the doom and gloom that I continuously feel.
