day 3

Well, I have been going strong...today is day 3...doesnt sound alot to some people, but to me it's an eternity.. This time with the support from here, I feel like I have an army of angels behind me...I've talked to more people in the last 2 days than I have in months...I've spilled my guts, cried, had the skin itches, thrown up...my kidneys must be going crazy cause I swear I've *pee-e* (sorry) more in the last 3 days than i have in months!!!
I talked about my cousin the other day giving me some huge moral support, well I found out today, she'll be moving here in a few months...in fact I offered her a room in my business to run her massage business out of...so Im way excited about that...atleast someone in my family is supportive...but NO need to go there today....cause it doesnt matter...
anyhoo...Im a bit bored today, business is slow, but that's given me time to talk so some of you...My St. Patty's day is rainy and gloomy, but Im feeling pretty sparkly!!!

Way to go on day 3!!!!!!!!!! First 3 days are the hardest. Drink lots of water and eat fruit and raw veggies. I'm 3 days behind you. I still need to make the decision......I mean I know I want to try again, but "when" is what I'm waiting on. Reading here helps me a ton! AA meetings are great also. A whole big room full of people in your shoes Hang in there, YOU are inspiring to me, as all the others here.

Lovely day...sorry...didnt mean to vent...it's just this is the only place I feel comfortable, even if no one reads this it's ok...atleast I got it out of my black box!!! A friend of mine told me to go to the healthfood store and get some herbal liver support with milk thistle in it...to help heal my liver...

Yes that is a good idea. I take milk thistle twice a day it is supposed to be a very effective liver tonic.

3 days is awesome, Lostgirl!

And yes, put on the seat belt for the physical/emotional roller coaster. You can do it!

3 days is AWESOME Lostgirl!!! As I am now on 2 weeks I highly recommend drinking lots of water and taking a multivitamin that is not too hard on your stomach (take after a meal). Keep the faith...YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Wooopeee!!

I couldn't be more happy for you. That's just HUGE.

You might as well have told me you just climbed Mount Everest!! Awesome.

And,... every extra minute of sobriety that you tuck under your belt, is another reason to feel very proud of yourself.

Stick with it, girl. You got it goin' on!

Hey Lostgirl,

Early sobriety is frull of ups and downs and you're doing just great.

We're here if you want to vent any time.

support

You guys are just the best...If I could ever repay you the support that you've all given to me unconditionally. I know Im doing this on my own, but it's like I look over my shoulder and see all of you...struggling just like me, and it for some crazy reason makes the load a little lighter...Im on my way home now for the nite...so I wont have a computer...and that drives me crazy...but I know you'll all be here again in the morning...and I will be PROUD to let you know (knock on wood ) that I made it thru the nite...Im excited to go home and get a "good nite sleep" and to hopefully wake up tomorrow feeling better than today.
All of you be safe tonite...take care of your bodys and your hearts!!! and I will talk to you manana!!!
LG...

Good goin

Lostgirl, great going on deciding not to pick up.

Keep going, I need you to do it!

day 25 here. Really stressed out but through the grace of God, I realize that getting high will never make anything better.

Hope you get better and better every day in every way.
Clean for today.

You hang in there. Three days is a lot, considering how long and arduous those first three days were. Keep on taking it one day at a time. You'll do fine.:bounce
