hey girl, is this board dead? looked through a few threads on pain pills and apparently a missed some nudies. man the luck. how are things with you and the husband. jane and i are emailing, i would love to do the same with you and keep up to date on how things are going, and you too AEA. my email again is
jamivw@hotmail.com
Hey jamv,
How are you? The husband is terrific -- he is being so supportive and affirming. I know I'm lucky in that way. Other than that, I live on the painpills site. I admit it -- I have no life, lolol. Still clean at very nearly 3 months.
I went to my second AA meeting last night. We'll see how that goes. Really what I'm most grateful for is the eight years I've been in therapy picking up tools I never even knew I had a use for. They're coming in really handy these days.
I am bad about checking my email so this is still the best place to reach me. Come over to the painpills site. No one cares what your d.o.c. is. All addicts welcome as long as you want to quit. Let me know what you're up to.
Love,
Gina

i just cant keep up on that board, but i will try, seems they talk much more about other things than addiction, like pictures? maybe i have just got in on a bad time, i will continue to lurk, just dont want to lose touch with ya!!!!!
Jamv,
How are you doing? I haven't heard from you in a while and wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you.
The painpills board has calmed down a good deal. You came in on a full moon Saturday night and everyone was acting out. With rare exceptions, they are good folks.
I swear to you, kicking pot is a hell of a lot harder than the pain pills. The mental backwash is much greater. I don't miss the opiates but I do miss the pipe.
Hope to hear from you soon.

I am here, checking in some. i am at 61 days clean! Doing relatively well, having ups and downs as to be expected. I do check on the pain pill board from time to time and see what is up. Emailing Jane is helping too.
How are you?
Are you home yet?
Fill me in!

Hey Jamv,
It's good to hear from you. Congratulations on your 61 days. How are you feeling?
I'm panicking about packing everything up by June 26. I have a cold and I think I have 3 month PAWS -- geez, I thought this was supposed to get better.
I won't use. I can't because I've burned all my bridges. But it was feeling this way that got me using in the first place.

ok, i need remidial learning, what is PAWS? Jane and i were discussing how we would love to have your input if you would ever like to drop us an email, we have really enjoyed the privacy!!
sounds like you have a lot to do in a short time to do it! you will be glad to get back the weather has been nice, little rainy today, but otherwise sunny.
my kids are obsessed with swimming! i wished that was my only worry.
saturday will be 70 days i think, i am starting to lose track so i think that is a good thing.(?) i dont really want to share on the boards why i am unable to attend a meeting, email is better.
glad you are coming home and getting out of the cold. you are doing great, glad you are still posting/

Hey jamv,
I'm so sorry you don't feel comfortable posting on the board anymore. There has been a lot of negative stuff flying around lately. I don't know what everyone is angsting about.
PAWS is Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome. It comes on in lunar cycles at roughly 30, 60, 90 days, 6 months and one year. It feels like a mild withdrawal or like really bad PMS. Anyway, it was better today.
Congratulations on your 70 days.
Cheers,
Gina
