I'm a little late BUT welcome to SR from 1 okie to another!

ru4outoo

so far so good, i am still doing okay, had a little test today, but i had no problems, maybe i was a little edgy but oh well. damn it feels good to be sober

ru4outoo

I hope i didnt goof or do the wrong thing, i took a sleep aide last night to help me get some rest. Is this okay to do? I am still very tired and not feeling to good, probably affects from the stuff. Please tell me it is ok. If i did wrong i will throw those things away and deal with the sleepless nights.

mishelly

Morning okie...I'm not going to tell you that it was wrong to take that sleep aid...but I can tell you that, for me, I couldn't do that. I all too easily have traded one addiction for another throughout the course of my disease. With that said, you have to get rest, so it's kind of a catch 22. Darned if you do, darned if you don't, ya know? I would just advise that you be very, very cautious with anything that can be habit-forming.

ru4outoo

according to the box it says non habit forming, but i guess i wont take them anymore, i want to be able to sleep naturally.

lulu70

IMHO, if you can keep from taking them, that would be the best choice. You will be able to sleep on your own very soon. And it will feel so good, you may want to sleep all the time!!

I am so happy to hear that things are going so well for you. Keep hangin' in there.

Hugs--

on day 6 and today so far has been the toughest, my car has been broke down for two weeks now and so my dad and i have been sharing it, well i had a job interview today at two and my dad was suppose to pick me up so i could use the car, well he forgot so i was late to the interview, when i was waiting for him i wanted a beer so bad and was getting very angry at him for forgetting, i still havent gotten over it and i am still wanting a beer but i am trying to be strong, but it is so hard right now.

PlanoTexican

Hey Okie,

Stay strong. I know it's hard, but it is so worth it in the end.

You into football?

ru4outoo

Yea I am into football especially college ball.
