Hi,

Well I was scheduled to go into rehab on Sept. 9. When I got there w/my ride we had to wait 3 hours (it's a 3 hour drive) for the administrator to fight w/my insurance company to keep me. They ended up saying that I could stay for 2 days (9th counted as one day) and then they would have to fight like hell to have me stay longer. I chose to go home.

I was so distraught they wouldn't keep me because I had detoxed at home for a week. I was still going through w/d's but not enough I guess. I am finally able now to get myself up and do something. I have been just lying low and journaling and doing lots of reading.

I did drink a couple of drinks on Friday night..but I have been pill free for 19 days. I felt awful on Saturday and now I have to figure out why I felt the need to drink those.

I have been to a few meetings and going to see my therapist. I still don't feel okay w/myself....someday I guess I will.

jacritch, Sorry to hear about your bad time. You are doing really good to go 19 days without pills, I would say the worst maybe over for you. There are some supplements they posted on a sticky here that helps with energy one of them is L-Tyrosine- Stress B complex, you take L-Tyrosine on a empty stomach I think. Check on the sticky home detox suggestions, alot of people like it I've read on posts. I hope you get feeling better soon, and you are in my prayers. LOL, Fiesty
 
Hi fiesty2,

Yes...I did order some L-tyrosine and I am hoping it will help. I think I have gone through the physical w/d's and now I am dealing w/the mind saying oh one wouldn't hurt.
So I have been taking it minute by minute...second by second...

How are you doiing w/your w/d's? I hope that everything is going okay w/your husband. It seems as though life throws us a bunch of curve balls when we least expect them.

My boyfriend and I ended our relationship. It's best for both of us right now. I never took the time to deal w/my divorce before starting a new one. Now I have to take the time for myself to deal w/my issues and get beyond them to be the person I know I can be.

take care,
Jacritch
 
Jacritch, My husband came home today and thank God they were able to save his knee. They first thought it was to far gone, but was able to replace it with an artificial knee. As for me it is still a little ruff, as luck would have it while I was at the hospital I got my pinky finger caught between 2 doors and broke it in 3 places, they sent me to the er and I was honest with them about my addiction and they gave me a few pain pills. The first day I took 3 and the 2nd 1 and the 3rd day none and flushed the rest and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, I think because this time it was just for the pain and today has been ok, but I'm still shaky, but I think that now maybe I am learning to control the mental part of addiction. Sorry about your relationship breaking-up, but sometimes only we know what is best and you do need to heal from your divorce. You will be in my prayers tonite and I'll be glad for you and me when we do get our energy and ourselves back to normal :bouncing:. LOL, Fiesty
