And no more weed (that was a 20 year habit!) you can find more on my story under thetopic of "need reinfrocememnts"

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate the feedback. But I'm still floundering...my brain jus keeps saying just one just one, the day wil lbe so much easier walkig around....

I need help with this please- amyone can repsond.

Thanks os much for your time and effort......

don't give up now..has your life changed now that you're clean? much better than it use to be....think about that...maybe that will make you want to stay clear of that road...good luck.....dj

my grandmother (god bless her soul) used to teach me that as long as you can know in your heart that you've tried your best. Then to take happiness and strength from that.
She used to say that as long as you take each day one step at a time and give yourself one thing to look forward to, even if it's a bar of choccy or a good tv programme.

Dear Roxy,
You have to remember, that for us 'just one more' NEVER happens, I used to tell myself that all the time, aww 1 more won't hurt, I'll start from scratch tomorrow BUT tomorrow never comes!!!
So if you REALLY get the urge to use, see if you can manage just an hour and see how you feel after that, then say to yourself, well I'll not use for another hour and so on and so forth, because 2wks is an awesome achievement, but remember that just one more, never stays at just one more x
GOOD LUCK YOU CAN DO THIS X
Love
Gabbi

Hi Roxie, I completly understand what you're saying...your addict mind is trying really hard to make it seem like just one is no big deal..just remember one is too many and 100 is never enough? This applies to you, all of that hard work you have done to quit and stay clean, and you will throw it all away, if you take just one. After that high wears off, you're gonna wish you never did it, but if you don't do it, think how good and strong you will feel! This is a test, plain and simple, you will fail if you take one, you'll pass and become so much stronger if you say no. I'd rather pass, after all of that hard work. Please stay strong, you can do it! Hugs to you, Kim

Do you attend NA/AA? If not ..........why not? You need face 2 face support that both of these can offer you. There you will learn the tools you need to face problems like this.

I don't mean to come off as harsh,,,,,just know what it takes to stay clean and sober when those cravings start during difficult situations........or when the sun comes up or doesn't........if it rains or doesn't, .........you get my drift I hope, lol.

Roxie for people like us ONE is NEVER enough.Look at all youve done.A 20 year pot habit you beat.Come on dont you realize how strong you actually are,You NO LONGER need that pill to give you strength.You must be strong to do what you have done.
I hope Im not intruding but what is so heartwrenching with your mom?Do you have a bad relationship with her??..mj
Im sorry I went back to read your other post so I can understand alittle better.

You said your mom & you have issues?Is there anyway you could tell her how tempting it is for you to know that those pills are so near?Could she respect you on this?????mj
