2 DAYS CLEAN and counting
Permalink  

hi my name is Cat and i'm 2 days clean.  I've using heroin for over a year and pain pills before that and along with the heroin.  Physically i'm okay but the demons in my head want the drug bad.  I pray and then take a nap. Any other constructive ideas.

 Narcotics anonymous meetings, 90 of them in 90 days. phone numbers , as many as you can get. Sponsor, someone you relate to, who has what you want. literature, pick up one each of every pamphlet at the meeting. All of that stuff is free.
 If you have a few bucks, get a basic text, not just because its cool on your nightstand, read it every day.
  The naps are fine. Drink lots of water or gatorade stay hydrated. HOT baths can help with the ache. Hot teas always gave me some comfort. Chocolate, I have no idea why it made me feel better, but it did.
  That all said Cat, Welcome to miracles in progress. I'm thrilled you've made this decision. Hang in there, you need not be this sick ever again.

  One more thing. If its gets so bad you just cant take one more second . Hit your knees and pray. You need not believe in anything. Just bow your head and talk. If your one that doesn't believe in that, just try it, I will believe for you.

Hi Cat welcome!!

breath in and breath out...and don't use in between.

face to face support is so important. and keep sharing on here as well. Journaling is also a good tool, practice staying in the moment...the here and now.

2 days is a miracle!!! good for you :)
sometimes medical detox is safer

hugs Wendy

Thank you everyone for your support. Its 3 days now. I do pray. I always have. I actually decided to get clean when I found myself praying to be able to hit myself. I was so ashamed I cried for a whole day. Just thinking about it makes me cry. I never want to be so craven again. I love God so much more than heroin. I just have to work on loving myself too.

Good morning all! Its Day 4 and I feel fine. I'm not tied down by the need to get "well". I miss the high and seeing as it hit me different, I miss the energy it gave me but I need to be like the rest of humanity and do things normally without drugs. So, I'll pray for some energy then clean the house. Doing something constructive should quiet the demons today.

I almost slipped this morning. I wanted the high so much. I missed it. But I just couldn't let the heroin win again. I was afraid because I knew it wouldn't be just one time. But I hate that the heroin makes me so weak. God made me strong enough this morning but it was close. I'm going to try one of these meetings but I'm very shy so it will be hard. But so is quitting heroin. I like this board. The support I'm getting is so helpful. Please keep it coming! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Everytime you say NO gives you that much more courage Cat gotta keep turning over what we're powerless against and let that higher power take it and give you a break from having to fight.

It's like anything we're powerless over in life we have to let it go or it drags us down I use the first step for a lot of things life throughs at me it worked for my addiction it works for all aspects of powerlessness.

NOW to quit smoking thats another whole issue bleh but I am powerless , you also have to be sick and tired guess i haven't gotten there yet.

Glad you got through that moment and think of them as moments and this too shall pass....

Wow - Its Day 5! All the detox is over. Now its just God and me against the heroin outside my body. Its so easy to get. but its wreaked financial havoc in my life. and I;m going back east for a visit with my son at Christmas time. So those are two good reasons for today to not make "the call" and slip. I'm saying my serenity prayer and reading the meditation. You alls support really helps. With God's help I can do this today.
