Two weeks no pain killers today!!!! Unbeleivable..I am learning so much in this group and it helps to know that I am not alone in this disease of addictions as well. There motto is the end result must be due to a reason so there is a lot of self reflection and soul searching to assist us to...

Thanx Herc...I know..I am going to be careful and I am scared that is why I put this thread out..I will take it all SLOWLY. I am not looking for anything other than a friend. I do not want a boyfriend or someone to save me, love me or take care of me. I just want to have more of a life..I do...

Thank you for all of the awesome responses! In the rehab group I have met some really nice girls that are seemingly quite nice at this point. One is a hairdresser and she's cute..I need a new hairdresser badly..There are 4 of us meeting next weekend at one of the girls houses for a hair party...

I have to say I too am soooo proud of myself! A couple of years ago, I would not have given myself credit for anything even if I deserved it!

This was brought up in anothers diary... I thought I would like to find out others experiences. I choose the wrong people..my best friends and people I trust are people I met in church as a kid. Alot..most of the relationships I have had since then, male or female turn out to be toxic. It...

I went to bed early..it is now 3:00 and I woke up with the bed sweats again..it has been happening through the night at least once still. I am not sweating so much through the night but it is still happening. The doctor said this should completely stop. I get to talk to him today. maybe they...

The first day was VERY rough..was he able to get on methadone or suboxone? Suboxone is truly a miracle drug. The doctor told me that the results that I am experiencing with the suboxone at this dose after only a week is the results he sees people experience after 5 or 6 weeks of methadone. It...

You were in my thoughts and I was just hoping that things are going better and you were able to get the assistance you needed sooner rather than later...

Day 8 and had my first full 6 hour day at rehab. I loved it!! I know that sounds crazy but I always loved school and learning..self help..I have all the books. I am helping myself and hopefully will be able to help others. Maybe this thread will give hope to someone struggling with an...

cat..please do not minimize your traumas. I said this to Nicolette too..it is all trauma and it is awful to us! No ones trauma is worse than another..You experienced it..yes, the circumstances are different in every situation but we all have to deal with the after affects. The PTSD..affects us...

Wow..I support her...you help me to realize that there really are some caring men still out there..she is a lucky woman to have you in her life.

This is interesting. I did not live in foster care but at 15 moved in with my youth group leaders. It is extremely hard on a child when your entire life changes in this way...all of your family is gone and learning to live with another family and their ways of living can really mess with a...

I am doing wonderfully well...the pain killers are done. Never again will my life be that out of hand. I am tolerating the suboxone and the withdrawals have been eased by this med and i am having a very good reaction to it!!!! I feel very proud of myself!

You are so not alone. I suffer with this too. I physically have no sex drive and the thought of if often just makes me feel literally anxious even still with therapy. I think if I ever get into an intimate relationship i may need sex therapy but how do you explain that or try to start a new...

I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and hoping that the situation is settling down and that you get the help you both need.... I wish I had more advice but being in your situation must be very hard on you and knowing what to do and making such life altering decisions for someone...
