1 week over! YAY
Greetings To all,
I feel so much better, stomache still a little crampy, but only periodically, i actually got up and did some laundry. Still a bit weak, and still getting the crawling in my skin feeling...wonder why it only happens at night. I got about 4 hrs sleep..on and off. I know the hard part is yet to come. i shall yoga my way through this. I will combat every neg thought with a pos one. That being said, I'm no fool....I know this could quite possibly be the fight all my life. i never wanna go through this again. I dont know much, but I'm glad I went cold turky in the privacy of my own home. With family checking in on me, and my AWESOME son's support. When I come out of the other side of this, I'll be here waiting for my BEAUTIFUL daughter, who has a heroin addiction, I don't know where she is, I found out last Easter, about this. thats when i knew I had my own work to do. A lot of great people i know have overdosed, my favorite sister, 1 of them, Dear God, bring my Girl home, so we can help her. .I wanna thank all of you for your encouragement, and kind words. Namaste

Great job TeeTee, yes, it is wonderful to get through the first week. Lets try our best to remember how bad it was and make a firm decision never to return to that spot again. I remember having tons of laundry after my last binge.......I had to look at it for 8 days before I had the strength to do it. It actually felt good to finally do it because I realized I was getting better minute by minute.
Hang in there.............you can do it.

So happy for you teetee! I like how you put it - when you come out on the other side. That describes it well.
The tingly/creepy-crawly skin thing - I think we have it during the day too but just don't notice it as much as at night when we're not as busy. It left me after about a week. I felt like I'd been hit by a truck for the first week, too - very exhausted & wiped out - but it all got better. Congratulations!

Congratulations to you. I'll pray for your daughter, too. Now that she's got a sober mom, you'll be setting a great example.
Glad you're coming out on the other side. And I hope things will get only better for you.
