Hey guys,
Hope you are all well and happy, thanks for all the encouraging posts Little H, Jackie, Marie, Danielle, Liz04..... you guys are awesome.
Thanks for the email Little H, you have such a positive way of looking at things and you are right to not let the negative stuff that has come out on this board affect you posting here because then a lot of good people will miss out and you have so much love to give. That goes for all of you!
I am not posting as much as I used to because I really need to focus on writing my book and this place is one of my many distractions (because I like it so much). Sometimes there are so many posts I want to respond to, so many that I feel i can help but I could spend hours and hours reaching a few, hopefully my book will reach many.
Marie, how are things for you? My heart goes out to you and I hope you feel better soon. I think withdrawal is just different for different people because heroin withdrawal for me was the worst torture I have ever experienced and it would become totally unbearable where I mentally and physically could not get past day 3 going c/t. Some say it's only a few days and it's not that bad etc, well for me it was absolute hell. I really feel for you and am praying for you.
Jackie, how is the giving up smoking going? You should really read that book I recommended it helped me alot.
Liz04, How are things with you? Where are you at with your struggles? Take some advice from Little H and keep posting here. I have noticed what you said in your email about someone posting messages pretending they are you. I think I've seen a few pretending to be me and few others on this thread, don't let it get to you cause you are here for recovery. At the end of the day I can look myself in the mirror and know I've still got my integrity. For those in this world who can't do that, well I feel sad for them cause they will never find peace.
Danielle, how are things with you? Haven't seen many posts from you, but I kinda skimmed through them. Hope you are doing well.
I am doing okay, Doctor gave me some laxative and I lost about 5kg in an hour. The last few months I seemed to have acquired a very obvious roll of fat across my tummy, but its half the size now so I guess it wasn't all fat.... yay!
My counsellor appointment went well, not alot of time to get deep cause had to fill out forms and get the basics out etc, but I felt her compassion and empathy which makes me feel quite positive about it because other counsellors seemed to have no feeling towards what I have been through, others were always like "okay, well I think this is your problem and (text book) this is your answer" So will be seeing her on Mondays and going to my mums for dinner afterwards. Thats alot of good energy, good love and good nutrition for one day!
I've just written out 2 lists of priorities. One list is how I "would like" to prioritise my day, looking at what is important to me, what I want to accomplish etc. The other is how I "currently" prioritise my day which highlighted the amount of time I waste doing everything except what is important to me. It was really bizarre to see it on paper. My mechanic friend made me do it, but now that I can see things so clearly I need to make the changes, so I've put the little lists out of sight for a little while, but i know they're there.

Hi Charmed,
I'm on 2 days without Hydromorphone and 1 day without using anything. I used methadone yesterday to help with the wd's. It was aweful. I didn't like how that felt at all. Today I decided to just get through the wd's and all. I'm just going to do it now. I'm going to go to a movie this afternoon then I'm going to find a meeting. I hope everyone has a great day.
Marie that is great on day 4, Keep up the good work. I'm trailing right behind you. We can do this.

Hey Liz,
I'm good, am just copy and pasting my posts onto a word document so I can use some of the stuff for my book, am really motivated at the moment so making the most of it while it lasts! Would love to read your daughters poetry,if it is okay with her could you email some to me?

Hey Charmed,
Sure I can ask her. Let me warn you though. Her poetry is deep and pretty dark. It's a lot to do with her relationship with her Dad.
ok, well I'm waiting for my husband to get back so we can go out to a movie. The fatigue is really beginning to hit me. Motrin is wearing off. I don't know if I'm achy from wd's coming in or it is caused from me busting my rump at work and now that I'm off the pain pills I'm feeling all the muscles. Doesn't matter either way. I'm going to do what ever it takes to stay off these pills this time.
Hope you are enjoying the day. I'll talk with my daughter later and make sure it's ok with her to share her poems.
