7 Gloroious Days

i say glorius but really not so.been pure hell. i am better now though still a lot fatigued in need of good sleep but all that will come eventually i guess. please pray for my beautiful wife. she is on day 3 so she is going through the toughest of it right now. we were an equall oppertunity household user. this is the longest i have been clean since oct. 2001. then i went to cuba for ten days and couldn' get anything. however then i didn't want to quit but now is a different story. i will not go back
thank all of you

Atoz, you're an inspiration. Seven days is great. Sorry to hear that your wife is in the thick of it right now, but at least she can look at you and see that it will get better soon. Now that you're on the downslope from the physical w/d, have you thought about -- or made any decisions about -- what you're going to do going forward in order to STAY stopped and defeat the mental addiction? Sheer willpower, or shame and fear, haven't been enough for me to mainatin longterm abstinence. Sooner or later I forget that it all starts with the first one...that there are no freebies or abstinence "holidays"...that I can't manage my life while using and keeping sectrets. You're probably on top of this and have a plan for yourself, in which case ignore this post. But if not, I'd be glad to share what's worked, and hasn't worked, for me. Again, congratulations on those first 7 days and the courage they represent. M.

i do have kinda a plan, i plan to get back to my church and become active again
this is where i find my accountability. it worked once back in 1990 when i came off crank and anything else i could get. this came on like a trap before i knew it i was hooked. what worked with you i have to keep my mind open so i can remain clean.. God has really been good to me.
thank you all
