Everyone may have read the other post that i wrote thismorning and im sure that i was bringing bad thoughts to the board all around. But i dont want the day to keep going like this. Eveything is happening all at once thismorning and its just getting worse by the hour. I need to write and i want to vent. But nobody wants to write back. Is there anyone there??? Is there anyone who wants to write to me??? Its the day before Thanksgiving and i want to call tommorow off already. I cant do that though because of the kids. And my fiancee's family might just end up hating me.!!
Anyone have any advise. Good or bad, i need someone right now.

Hey I'm here what can I do to help you out.....Mollyjean
Hi Christina,
Just hang in there. Believe me, I just about feel the same as you. I'm TRYING hard to have a positive attitude, because, like you, I have family coming over and we have to "put on a happy face" for our children, of course. I feel guilty, because its not the kids fault that Moms still going through this crap from being an addict.
Try not to dwell on it - before you know it, Thanksgiving will be here and gone, then you will have the weekend to take it easy and wonder what you were so worried about to begin with:o) I have some family staying through Sunday - so lets try to give each other enthusiasm, OK?? I'm here for you (on/off) if you need to talk!!! Hang in there girl.
Love,
Marie

Hi Christina its Molly again.You know when everything happens BOOM at once I think it knockes everyone out of sorts,At least when things happen alittle bit at a time you get a break to breath.How many people are comming over to your place?I've been baking and trying to bake(homemade bread)and my kitchen looks like a flour bomb went off.Its kinda funny.I must look like a freak cause my kittys won't come anywhere near me.I think next time I'll just buy a darn loaf!!!!!!
PRIORITIES...........Get yourself together there........take a deep breath and count to 10 and start all over. I would like to welcome you to my world. Where everything that could go wrong will go wrong and does so on a daily basis. So having said that you need to remember one important thing everything that is happening right now in your life would be happening anyway if you were on the pills (tapering right....still the same)........Only difference is you wouldn't care. So you are going to have to fight each day to get by as best as you can without feeling overwhelmed. I know the weather isn't nice where you are now but if I was you I would grab up the kids and go out........anywhere........don't worry about the house or what needs to be cleaned cause guess what it will all be there when you get home.
Good advice Tina-
I'm cleaning bathrooms and my Dad was nice enough to take the kids to the pool - yes, its that warm here. I know I should probably take a break too, feeling kind of overwhelmed.
The kids are off of school for the rest of the week - here, they didnt get off for Veterans Day, so they give them that day for the Thanksgiving holiday. I love having my kids home, only it seems like I cant get much done around the house when theyre here. Amanda has her girlfriend here with her, so theyre happy that they all just got to go swimming. I better go finish my bathroom, while I have time.
Have a great day.
Love,
Marie

Life happens! It's how we react to daily events that determines our state of mind. Easier said than done I know. You're in a tough spot I think because tapering is such an emotional drain. It plays with your mind, making you anxious and worrisome. The littlest thing can cause your mood to change in an instant. I know - I've tapered and it's not fun. When I got down to 4 pills a day I quit. I couldn't take it anymore. I know None4Me did the same at 6 pills a day. What I would recommend is 1) as much as possible stay in today - try not to project; 2) stay as active as possible to keep the focus outside of your mind. Find a project to do around the house, take frequent walks when you can, get to a meeting if you're so inclined.
Just a suggestion - after this weekend consider accelerating you're plan to get clean. Once you stop the pills your whole mindset will change and your focus will shift to recovery. You'll get thru the wd's and begin to realize the true gift of being clean. Just in time for Christmas too.
Stay strong;

Go get a pillow . . . hold it up to your face . . . . and SCREAM.
Sounds simple but it can really help let the stress out!
Just deal with one thing at a time and soon enough, you have everything under control once again.
Keep your spirits up!!
