Doesnt matter what the heck you all say, just ramble on please....I need to hear a different voice than the one inside my head
havin a rough go I assume-you are doing great whether you feel like it or not, its not easy, but time will heal your wounds--be patient--minute by minute if you have to. Oh gosh I know I sound all cliche'y but its true, although i can talk till my face is blue and it wont take away the pressure you are feeling ect... just remember you are worth a better life than you gave yourself on dope and--believe me it does get better I was the worst--hopeless, I though i was done I was resigned to the fact that i would use H till theday I died or got locked up forever--I slept in a tent didnt bathe, begged stole and lied for dope--almost started selling my body--really bad stuff, now through reaching out (just like you are doing here) and grabbing ahold of a different way I live a semi normal life--no its not candyland theres stress and im not all giddy everyday but that gorilla on my back is gone--or at least very very tiny-as i still get cravingd here and there--hang on girlie--you are another success story in the making......hope ive helped or at least passed some time for ya :)
Hang in there i dont really know what to say im thinking of you and hope your coping because thats all you can do is cope just hang in there and think of all the s*** that comes with it . Its not worth giving in be strong and keep it in today
I dont really know what to say because I dont know your circumstances but whatever it is, remember there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Theres only so much that life can throw at you then things have to get better??? I have to believe that myself, and somehow think positive and positive things will happen.
You can do anything you set your mind too as long as you have will power and determination.
Keep your head held high....and remember that people care, including me and most people on this board and were always here to chat...even about nothing...lol.
Lots of love...Lyndsay xxxx

I would also like to add that I have time for anybody on this site and I would do anything to help people on here because at my lowest and hardest points the people on this site have always been there with help, support and people actually really do care.
Love ya all...your all amazing...Lynds xxx

I've done lots of different things to distract myself, from playing my kids' video games to writing a journal and getting the thinking and feeling down on paper to going for a walk and LOOKING at things to phoning the Samaritans and talking up to four times a day sometimes to arguiing politics on the Washington Post website to trying to paint to tidying up to making a mess to writing poetry to trying to play guitar to trying to write jokes to running around a park to taking photos on a WALK to texting friends to phoning friends to phoning people in Al-anon and AA to window shopping to reading rubbish to watching dvds to eating something my inner Child drools over to dancing to music in my living room to reading about addiction and self-help to sitting still and meditating....
all of them help in differrent ways at different times....what's helped me in the long run is learning NOT to avoid my FEELINGS....but recognising I needed to take baby steps.....like going into training for a big match.....sitting with anxiety, asking it what it's about, listening to it, but not letting myself become overwhelmed....hey, one day at a time, one step at a time.....and gradually and with lots of help I've built muscles big enough to carry a little more weight....not ready for the big game yet, but feel safe enough to maybe step outside the locker room with those funny pants on.....
Take care of yourself. Keep posting.
