Thank you Gyac for taking the time to write those nice words of encouragement for me. I truly, truly appreciate it.
No thanks needed.....someone helped me so it's our duty to pass it along! Take each day for the blessing that it is and be kind to yourself every chance you get. On a daily basis forgive and face yourself (which can be HARD).....in order to free yourself!
I will.
At least i will try to be good to myself by sticking to my decision not to put any drugs in my body anymore. I think at 50 yrs old, it's about time i smarten up.

Some get it sooner....other's get it later......as long as we get it that's all that matter's!

sorry i spelt your name wrong sorry ,
Hi Dee, I'm doing ok i guess. Thanks for replying. I was wonderng how you were doing.
Are you ok? How's life?
I've had the worst headaches in the world for the last four days. I've never had those when i was smoking all that pot everyday. This morning, i got up, and i'm feeling a tiny bit better. Still head sensitive,but a bit better. I finished eating my soup last night that i had started a couple of days ago hihiih. I still can't eat very much though. I'm eating mostly jello, yogourt,and i drink juice, water. I'm really quiet too.
Last night, we had company come over. I actually sat there with hubby and company the entire time talking, laughng. It was really, really weird for me not to find some type of excuse to go smoke a joint. When they left, i was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooproud of myself and i actually enjoyed the evening even though i was as straight as an arrow hihiih! Not even a drink in me. Nothing! and there was lots to drink around.
Day five begns today. YES!
Thanks for reading me. Come back and post, please.

hi everyone and in particular dee, im a recoverin heroin addict who used evryday for a few years and then couldnt stop when i wanted to, i tried detoxes. i thought if i could get over the cold turkey i would be ok, i would just be able to carry on with my life but this never happened because i missed the safe feelin that i had become accustomed to whilst on the heroin and always went back to it thinkin "i will be able to control it this time" or " i'll just use it in certain situations when i need to appear confident and together" then of course 1 time turns into 2, then 3 and we all know where it goes from there.. back to using it daily. to cut a long story short, in may 2001 i ended up in a 12 step rehab and got introduced to narcotics anonymous meetings, it would be really difficult to sum up the next 7 and half years in a few sentances so i wont try right now but i will say that i have been abstinent from all drugs since 18th may 2001, i have a job, im buying a house, i have travelled lots and i enjoy my life. for anybody who as a problem with drugs and are looking for help to stop using my advice would be to get to an NA meeting and ask for help. good luck dee, recovery IS possible
hi fleur how are you today i hope day 5 has gone better for you and your headache has passed.. this sounds silly but i now almost wrote that im fine but thats not true..i think im so used to saying im fine when people ask that now i never think of sayin what im really feelin cause i want to be fine but im finding things have really got me down,i know that with xmas and everything that things are going to be bit rubbish but i feel like im dissapearing into my books to much i cant even make a cup of coffee without reading while im doing it..i like the fact that it takes me away from whats going on here and i seem to be ignoring the world rather than living it,
im going to try and see my drug worker tomorrow because of the advice iv been given on here i can see that i need to be honest with her to get the best help i can get... im so pleased that so many people have helped me see things a bit clearer i have found myself thinking more and more of what people have writen for me i am really glad i found this place to finelly talk to people and not hide things is such a relief.
i want to say thank you to all the people who have taken time out of there day to write on here for me are really helping me see that just because someone is not in your life in person they can be there without actally being there and i really appricate all the kind and helpfull words thank you .x

Hi Dee,
I'm so glad to see you have posted and i really hope you are doing fine.
Day 5 was hell. Sick as a dog with a headache, cold and hot flashes. Went to bed at 10 pm and it was 2 in the morning and i was still tossing around. I had to work this morning and everything i was trying to do wasn't working right.
Today is day 6 - i'm feeling better but! I was so depressed this morning and yesterday, all i could do was cry at the least little thing. I began to eat a little bit more today finally but i still don't have a real big appetite. I don't even know if i can eat supper tonight.
Please come back and post to tell us how you are doing. Courage.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Bryn and GYAC for your encouragement.
It's my first night home alone (hubbie works nights) since i quit smoking pot six days ago and boy am having a hard time. i lit a candle to calm me.
I'm going to look in the Omega 3...but i don't like that it has FISH oil in it. I haven't eaten any animals since 1977. Is there anything else you can suggest to help me? I appreciate your advice.

Iam a Stepmum, never done any drug in my life, but my Stepson is a Heroin addict and its taking its tool on all ou lives, he works, he thinks hge is perfect until he wants to com e off it(so he says) so Daddy lets him home, pays off his debts, so called sorts him out. he then says iam off it, without any help, never seen no rattle in all these times. How can we help him without him thginking he can do it all again and we will be there.
I cant take much more or the divorce may kick in

Hi Olivia, re-post on the Family board for excellent support and understanding.
Dee and Fleur, keep fighting that good fight.
GABA is also a good natural calmant, but the Omega 3s really are good for oiling up the positive receptors in the brain. Might be worth the trade off for you even though you are vegetarian (are you a vegan?)
Peace ~ MomNMore

Thank you Mom&More for the suggestion. I will go to the drugstore tomorrow and i will look for GABA.
I'm ovo-lacto vegetarian. I don't really want to take anything that would have fish oil in it, but if remember right, a few months ago, i believe i saw something like Omega 3 but for vegetarian. I'll check it out tomorrow. And come to think about it, i might just buy Omega 3 with fish oil because i really, really don't like it when i feel depressed like i did this morning and a few times over the weekend. I've always had to watch myself with that and it's becoming more and more difficult relying on cognitive psychology to get me out of that mood. So, i think it's time i put aside my little thoughts on animals and so forth, and get better with whatever will help me.
Do you know if it takes a long time for the Omega 3 with fish oil to have a positive effect on the brain?

hi there well done fleur you are doing really well after 25years and you have now nearly done your 1st week thats brill, im not sure for def but if you get omega 6 its made from nut oil i think thats fight but if you ask at health food shop they will be able to tell you, im going toget some of the omega 3 for myself i will try anything to help with my moods, last night my house mate woke me up because i had fell asleep on couch and he says i really had ago at him but i cant remember it and thats really scary cause if that had been oneof the boys i would feel just awful i meen during day im finding it hard to keep my temper under but i find the sillest things upset me and i know its not fair on them,
it must be hard if your hubbie works nights does he go to work in the evening??i find that the evenings are the worst because once the boys are in bed thats when i really crave the gear.. i have got sleeping tablets that the doctor gave me but they make me so dosey the next day but they are the only thing that i can take to make sure i go to sleep and then i cant do gear...
hi bryn i have been reading martina coles books i finised her book BROKEN yesterday and it was really harsh she is a really good writer but they do make you see how cruel the world can be i know they only fictional.. i have now decieded to read the alchemist and its def a really thought full and deep meaning book the only thing is its very thin so iv nearly finished it and i only started this morning but i would advise any1 to read it it makes for a soulsearching read.
oliva i wish there was something i could say to help have you tryed talking to your hubby and explained your concerns or have you spoken to your stepson and told him how you feel and what you think about the fact that you dont think he is getting clean, i wish there was more i could say to help.
