Yesterday, I filled in as secretary at my homegroup. I accidentally gave someone how it works to read first ...that is supposed to be read at the end. I guess I was nervous and couldn't focus.....I should know that by now...
ooppsss..

I am doing really stupid things too.....super clumsy, forgetful, non caring. Pretty snappy with people too. Is this normal? I am on my 10th day....
that is way normal, kat. Hang in there. It will take a while, unfortunately. I still feel like I am a fourth of what I was mentally..
But I know it just takes time....
I hope one day to return to normal, whatever that is.
Just be kind to yourself. and be proud of yourself. 10 days of hell is a major thing to walk through, Lady.

My worst "airhead" moments came during the final month of my active use....one morning, I drove away from the gas pump with the nozzle still in my truck's tank! Snapped the nozzle right off the hose -- fortunately, it had a safety valve and gas didn't go gushing all over. I was definitely forgetful and spacey during the first month or so of quitting, but nothing as bad as when I was in that constant hydro fog at the end of my using. M.
With everything that i am hearing about being forget full, this is starting to scare me more than help me. I already have to use a daily log to remmember things again. What happens to me when i realy do get off the pills??? This is the scariest thing i have ever faced my entire life. The gas station thing is quite frightening!!!!!!
Just to clarify, the gas station incident was while I was still using, not after stopped.
My guess is that you will find you no longer need a daily log to remember things after you quit taking pills and get a few weeks of clean time. Despite what our disease tells us, we do not actually function better when actively using. I wish you the best on your journey, friend. M.

Thanks for clarifieing the gas station insident. It kind of made me laugh though. Dont get made at me for saying that though. I just think that has to be the funniest thing i have herd yet today. Again dont get upset at that. All kinds of things are making me laugh today, but that was the funniest. I guess it is the sick hummor coming out, but i havent laughed in about a week, so it feels nice. You know what ... I should start a post about jokes. Maybe someone has a few funny ones out there????
Look for it

OH, when I was still using I was become kind of an idiot. I would forget everything. I hold down a job doing our company's budget. I also do party planning. I am now coming up the the most busiest times. I am on day 10....and, I THINK I am starting to feel a bit normal. OHMYGAWD....is the fog finally starting to clear? I haven't been on anything in 10 days. Except phenergan (with NO codeine).... I was very clumsy over the weekend. Tripped and fell....broke a glass...felt like an idiot. So, fellow airheads....it's okay.

Kat -- congratulations on Day 10. You're really doing great! Glad the fog is clearing a bit. M.
Hey Kerry:
We read "How it Works" in the beginning, lol. So, in CA you were not an airhead, you were right on schedule. At the end we usually read "The Promises" as well as "The Twelve Traditions." Take care.
