Question PAWS perhaps?.....

Wow I'll tell you, I went Christmas Shopping today and I could not even remember three things in my head that were on the list to shop for...

I wonder if I'm going through that PAWS syndrome again, because I feel like I can't keep anything in my head for a long period of time and then I begin getting anxious and OCD about it... I've been sober for only 3 days you all may know..

Recently went through a change in my life that my former stepfather finally left my home and is no longer around even though there's still a chance he could be a danger to my family...

Day 29 without Vicodin *I was addicted to three 750mg pills a day for a year* and ... and ... why am I talking so much, I don't want to be the whiner of the boards again but I don't know how else to explain it... I just want to be in control... a better control like I was in my past like even of a year ago, drat... drat drat drat.

hey Paulos -

give yerself more than 3 days, hon.

I am glad to read the stepmonster is gone from the picture.
I know he was a constant irritation to ya.

I truly hope
you'll think more seriously now about
seeking outside support in quitting this time
since the other guy won't be there to exacerbate things for you.

It's a way to make new friends
to be accepted
and get out of the house for a while.

I remember before this lst relapse
you were actually going out for rides and stuff.

I hopeto see you get back to that space, hon.

It's not whineing to discuss problems that come up.

What works for me is to make lists
rather than trying to remember things.

Perhaps that would work for you...

I will keep with it, and I do make lists yes... I went out today to Christmas Shop so that was something ... but my memory was bad like the whole time... felt so spaced. Thanks for your support all, but I just feel like such a failure right now... man! Not a pleasant feeling knowing there's not much you can do with your scene in life, and as for that former stepfather, he may not be around but he's still dangerous since he's not back in jail yet... another worry yet again I have to deal with :|.
