Jodi

With all the stress in your life you still manage to post to me and I so appreciate it...I will be thinking of you those 7 days and I hope it inspires you. Remember...I do feel resistance, but I know that it is the only way to get off the hamster wheel....I pray for you and hope life gets better for you. I know that getting these pills out of my head , body and life will only be positive for me. Sometimes you just have to go for it...my job is gone now and nothing else is holding me back....Love, Sharonn
Jodi,

YGM. Please don't apologize. I know your time online is heavily restricted and I appreciate your taking some of it time to write me at all. If it would be easier to answer on the board, or for me to respond to you here, that's fine, too. Just let me know.

Sharon,

Less than two weeks until you go to detox... We're all pulling for you. I know you're not going to let anything hold you back this time.

Love,
Gina
Hi Sharonn and Gina. I don't get to the board very often. Sometimes it takes me awhile to respond to these posts.

Sharonn, I think about you often. I will be so excited for you when you can finally taste that freedom. I know you are going to make it.

Gina, thank you for the e-mail. I am starting to come to terms with things more and more everyday. The worse it gets, the more I am starting to accept the inevitable. I know myself well enough to know that I simply cannot survive like this much longer. I am utterly tired. That's the best way I can describe it. Tired.

I walk around every single day with so much anxiety. My chest hurts as if I can't breathe. Right now I can only dream of a more peaceful existance. Soon it will be my reality. That's why I wake up each day...because I know it won't be long. Then I can actually live the life that I've dreamed of for years now.

It will take tons of strength. I know that. I also know that I do have it in me, somewhere. I know I do.

I'm sorry for responding here instead of via email. I will email you again soon.

Thank you so much -- both of you.

Love,
Jodi
Jodi, It's good to see you posting. I was thinking of you last night. Hang in there. I know you will find your way to a happier life. Shantel
Hi Jodi;

You keep posting.

Have a good night Jodi----Jeff
Jodi...
I am so happy for you that you are making a positive change in your life. Believe me it has been five weeks and I feel so much at peace with myself then when I was using. I can finally think of more important issues instead of obsessing about pills. Good luck.
