Well how was yer trip?good i hope.....no prob.at customs.....anything to declare...ummm nope me???Anyhow i hope you saw all the sites.Take and chat soon.........Davey
hey Davey.. haven't gone yet.. sorry should have been clearer - the story is that we can go any 3 nights between May 1 and Oct 31 of this year so I'm keeping it as a carrot so to speak.. I've managed to get more than 300 mls together coz we've been saving up Cian's weekend take aways... I had great plans to start this weekend but I just didn't have the will power to say no wen Cian was having a toot so the plan is for the two of us to give it a go from today... so far so good... he's gonna head out to work soon so that we're not in each others faces.. it's just getting that first day under my belt and then I"m on a roll.. so hopefully today will be day 1.. we'll go for our weekend away soon enough, gonna wait and see how I'm feeling over the next couple of weeks.. have work to keep me busy and get me out of the house and that and I know it's all about keeping positive so... I'm doing stuff around the house today to keep me busy... it does help having the bit of methadone - I'm trying to think of a plan for when it runs out.. I'm gonna have to try and find a doctor who will help me.. I'll be over the worst of it then, at least the physical side of things but it's the mental side of it that always brings me back.. Con puts it into words so well and it's all that stuff that frightens me.. but I"ll deal with it when it comes up..
hope all is good with you.. enjoying the weather - it's beautiful here today.. hope this is a sign of a good summer...
soon - Arrie...

Oh Arrie that setup with the wknd.away sounds good i just thought with the long weekend ya might have gone over it.....but its sumthin to look forward to eh!
Arrie ya got enuff juice to do a proper detox at home....did you say you were starting today?if so best of luck i know how bad you want and need it.Cians o.k hes got his script .....with the 300ml.that should be enuff for you to detox over say 10days....so ya got the physical side sorted ....then its just a mental battle afterwards....would you try a counsellor?they wont give ya meth.but im sure a counsellor would be within the health boards reach.Im not really an advocate of N.A but maybe would you give them a go ....just for some support .....but i found f2f was best ...i dont go now but after i got clean bout 18mnths.ago i went to weekly sessions for bout 6mnths.and they helped me along with this board.
Also ya got my email so dont hesitate to give me a shout no bother.
Take care Ms.and yes the sun were getting is brilliant....ive just come back from one of the local lakes with Sian and her mate they loved it .....i had a few beers cooled in the lake watching them have a splash.......Best of luck Arrie................Davey

hey there.. sounds like you had a nice afternoon.. Cian used to love going fishing round the Blessington lakes, can't say I was too into the fishing part of things but I used to love the lounging round bit and like you say the bag of cans in the water keeping cool.. we haven't done that for quite a while - there's all these things to look forward to for when we're clean.. we'll have loads of time on our hands so hopefully it won't be too hard to fill it.. I'm a lazy cow at the best of times so I'm gonna have to really give myself a kick in the a** and get out and about..
yeah, really pleased with the amount of mls that I've got - it's half the battle really.. like you I've never been too into NA, I know it works great for some people and that's great, I'm not knocking it but its just not for me.. a couple of bad experiences so to speak so I'm gonna see about the counsellor side of things... gonna have to do it on my own time too coz the health board ones work 9 - 5 and so do I so I'll have to sort out an evening one.. but that's cool, I don't mind that side of it.. I've been looking into yoga classes too, there's a particular type of yoga that I want to try, it's called Kundalini yoga and apparently there's only one teacher in Dublin and she's on the southside somewhere, I got her name and number from the Dublin Yoga Centre.. want to wait until I have some clean time under my belt before I contact her to make any arrangements.. have never done yoga before in my life but it's something that I've always wanted to do so I'm gonna give it a try, can't do any harm.. typical that she's on the south side and I'm on the north side but then I'll be looking for things to do and that'll be one evening a week sorted out..
don't really want to run before I walk but I really, really want this... I'm trying to keep positive and not think too much about things... not sure who said it but someone on here was saying about taking it one second at a time, well that's where I'm at at the minute.. been taking those fish oil things too, the omega oils to try and put me in better humour, not sure if they're working or not.. been taking them for about 3, maybe 4 weeks now and a multi vitamin.. my diet has defo improved a bit and I suppose I'm not as down as I was... have completely given up on the idea of getting on to a MMT course or getting any help or advice from the health board route - I'm just gonna stick with this board and detox myself with the bit that I have here and then put all of the above into place and take it from there... who knows this could be the one that works for me.. I'll get my own little guilty pleasure when Cian goes up to the clinic and gives clean urines coz they'll know that if he's not smoking well then I'm not either and I'll have done it without their help.. bad attitude to have probably but they really let me down when I needed the help is how I feel about it.. maybe when I have some clean time under my belt I'll look into doing something about it, I'll have to wait and see...
keep good and keep posting - you're a life line...
