good morning, just wanted to thank the few of you who welcomed me and spoke with me last night. not sure what really made me post, being that im not much on the group thereapy thing but it sure seems to be a good relief valve. today starts day six of complete sobriety for me. i dont feel great but feel alot better than i have lately, still know its way to early to get very confident. in the past ive always seemed to make it fine for awhile and then suddenly one morning ill wake up and know in my heart its over and thats the day ill pick up and use again, cant figure out what that trigger is inside my head that makes me do that, though i am on the lookout for warning sides. well good luck to all of you and keep up the fight. thanks for listening to me vent.
hi i just wanted ro say what a wonderful thing you are doing. i am also on day 6!! i have been walking alot it seems to help me soo much! also if you have not taking b 12 take some today it gives you so much energy. well i just wanted to say congratulations to you. you can do this just keep looking for those warning signs. read through this forum because i remember reading a post all about what they are . please take care love cfm
hi cfm, i have been reading your posts the last few days and realized were at the exact same point.. your doing great and have given me inspiration. i take many vitamins every day especially the b vitamins. cant swear they help but sure cant hurt huh. thanks for the kind words and keep up your awesome journey.
Hey wolf,
Welcome to the board and congratulations on making it to your sixth morning clean. You're doing great.
I learned this trick from two old-timers for when the cravings get bad. Tell yourself, that if you really have to, you can take a pill tomorrow. Just not today. And take it one day at a time, always giving yourself permission to use tomorrow if you have to. But not today. It's amazing how empowering this is, because I was one those who would think, "I'm going to quit using," and the pill would be in my mouth before I'd finished the thought and then I would feel weak, guilty and stupid..
Take good care of yourself
