Hi guys,
good to see everyone is doing well since christmas, new jobs and holidays and stuff turning round for some.
my bloke is 13 days clean today which is perhaps the longest clean he's been in 20yrs and boy did i not understand how tough this was going to be. On the families board people keep saying why can't they just stop using like it's easy i take my hat off to all of you who've been through it because i sure as hell couldn't have got through the 13 days.
We've done the shivers and cold symptoms, the not sleeping, the vomiting like at all the worst times and in all the worst places - Asda coffee aisle. We had 2 nights when he was chasing imaginary insects around the room (which was really scary) and now he's curled up in a ball screaming with stomach cramps. I nearly phoned his dealer for him last night because i couldn't cope anymore how terrible am i?? I am counting the minutes until he can go to pick his script up that at least makes everything okay till after lunch.
Light at the end of the tunnel any idea anyone on when it will start to get better - he hasn't, he's never got this far. He's working bit and drabs but i'm trying to work full time and i'm shattered.
Thank goodness his meth withdrawal will be in a detox clinic.
love
karen
Jazwan Dear,
Ya poor honey........it's awful......and ya know I think it's just maybe even worse for the people who love us to watch all that.
Ya done real good not breaking and calling the man for him........he's coming out the other side..........everybody is different, but once he got his script he should be better..........and two weeks is about it.........for me it was always DAY 10! That DAY 10 I'd break...........but he did real good Jazwan.
Jaz, I don't know about the hallucinations..........I have heard people had them and my dear friend is a drug/alcohol counselor and she said "No, NEVER ya don't get no hallucinations"..............well you don't sleep for ten days......no sleep period guess what? Ya just might see stuff.......I know one guy saw the devil.........for two whole days...............hey, maybe it was the devil leaving him.
PLEASE, Kar ya gotta take care of you two...........I know you are a compassionate Pisces, but let me tell ya I can't watch nobody go through that.
Kills me to think of my mom for five nights and days with me in a row.......she actually tied a bathrobe sash to her and to me so I wouldn't sneak out cause she couldn't keep her eyes open no more.
It's worth it though, Jazwan.............and you been a good woman.........ya see it one two many times and watch your loved one suffer like that ya get kind of callous................my gentleman friend did.............let me stay with him cause that's nothing for kids to see..........but he finally told me "You're on your own".
Still beat the time my dad barricaded me in a room and wouldn't even let me use the bathroom.............he threw me a bucket in..........and if I made two much noise came up and told me to shut up.............PAY THE BAND!
That's what he said...........SUFFER SO YA WILL REMEMBER.......twelve days later I was varoom back out there..............on purpose.
He wants this Jazwan.........he wants it and he's come so far........you just be sure ya don't break down, O.K.?....he'll feel better with his script.

Oh I know all about them hallucinations, Jen can tell you a story or 2 as well. Her ex ( omg yes I wrote ex as she is out ladies, out chasing new horizons ) well she called 911 and they took him to the hospital, my hubby rode it out. I dosed him big time with benzos and knocked him out when they started. Thank god for a doctor who knew something or other about the kick.
I wish I was close I would give you a big hug, come over and hold your hand. It sucks to watch, this so affected me3 -5 days my big buttHe should be coming close though to the end, keep reassuring him that he is almost there
You been sleeping kiddo, trying to take care of yourself. Dont forget you ok
And no calling the dealer, he can do that all by himself, you knowand he hasnt
Will keep good thoughts.
Love Yah,
Tina

Cheers Team.
I didn't think it would be this bad he's not been using loads but maybe the time you do it for has some effect 24yrs an addict and lots of other stuff in the early years along with the gear. It will go as it will go - Bryn i'm okay but it's weird because i've never known him as a none addict and there is this other person coming out who keeps worrying about things so that's different.
will keep in touch

hi donnas daughter here, things will get easier dont give in, just think if you phoned his dealer you would be back to square one and have your boyfriend will have to go all through that again. keep it up hes lucky hes got you supporting him. hot baths help,listening to music, having the heating on full and if he cant sleep stay awake with him and keep him company. all the best gemma x
