goos morning

how is everyone today? i am feeling sad and fuzzy headed. i'm supposed to go to work this afternoon, but i just don't know if i can make it through a normal day.

Morning everyone..

Janet, give yourself a break today. You've had a lot happen in the last 24 hours and your mind and body are still in shock. Detoxing is tough enough without having to worry about work.

You are so lucky to have your husband.... what a releif for you.

Love

don't i know it cowgirl...he has me on a very short leash, which is going to drive me nuts, but i feel better that i don't have to face it alone...i'm counting down the days until monday, not planning on any work. i have told him that any checks i get go directly to him. i started smoking yesterday, sad that i had almost 3 weeks off of them, but i feel that i need a crutch. he is angry at me for that. i guess i need something. doc put me on gabritil and klonopin (higher dosage) slept yesterday away, i look forward to monday and a gestapo like program, but it's what i need at this time. i am determined to stay away from my DOC, this time, and i am glad that i will have support there. i'm depressed and trying to get back to a normal life.

i'm hoping he will let will let me out to bring my daughter to the DA's office to clear her driving w/o a license charge, she forgot to bring it with her and got a ticket for it.
I know how you feel, doll and I'm so happy for you. You are going ot get through this. I remember my husband watcing me like a hawk and you know what, I let him. I just let go and let him drive the bus for awhile. Felt good to not have to be in control. There were times though, when my extremely strong personality shone through and I would get pissed at him for smothering me. But it's ok, I got over it and found out is was so much easier to not have to make decisions for awhile.

I had quit smoking in 1985 and then when I went to treatment in 2000, I started again (EVERYONE smoked there). Thought my husband would kill me. For awhile there, it seemed he was madder about the smoking than the drugs. I finallly had my counsellor talk to him. He was f***ing with my sobriety by making such a huge deal over it. He excepts it now. It's my cross to bear, not his.

I'm so excited for you, Janet....you have so much to be grateful for and so many wonderful things ahead of you.

Love

Hey Janet;

I know all about the short leash, but as CG said, it's best to let it go for now. In my experience I jeapordized the welfare of my whole family with my reckless spending, stealing, etc. I really gave my wife no choice a few months ago. And yes there were moments when I resented it, after all I make more money, etc. But that was my ego talking. I had to accept the consequences for my actions, humble myself I guess, and just let it go.

I've realized I was such a selfish and dishonest person - always squirrelling away money for my own use (mostly to buy pills or gamble). Now I'm working with my wife to ensure all money is accounted for. The leash has been loosened up recently as the trust continues to be restored.

It feels really good to be living an honest life - I am working with a good counselor to understand the thinking behind my previous behaviors, and between that and sharing with my friends in AA/NA I'm so much better off today than I was a few months ago. I've realized that I really have everything I need. Life is really good.

Good luck to you!

Jim
