Guest ASchwartz Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hi Smallstar,The reason its harder today is that your brain cells are letting you know that they miss the pills and want them. It may get even harder (or may not) until you are free of the craving. Just be patient with yourself and remember, its just your brain playing tricks on you. Just give it one day at a time.What do others advise??Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDmom Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I know how you feel. I am scared of failing too, in many things. I remember a saying in my past: If you fall, then just get up, again and again. I know that's easier said than done. So if you fell, just remember, we will always be here to tell you: GET UP AGAIN.I remember this funny song by Chumbawamba:"I get knocked down, but I get up again.You're never gonna keep me down.I get knocked down, but I get up again.You're never gonna keep me down......."

Catmom Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Good stuff, Claire. You have offered smallstar some excellent resources to choose to use if she wants to stay clean. What she is going through is temporary and will certainly pass if she gives her brain and body the time to readjust to being drug free.Smallstar--hang in there & let us know how you're doing.Catmom Nightwatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catmom Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'd like to comment that I am in complete agreement with what Claire said about stopping addictive behaviour being an act of self love. And--Smallstar--don't wait to feel self love to stop! Just stop because you know the pills are hurting you more than the temporary escape they bring.The feeling of self love will come after you have some time clean. I am fortunate in that I found a therapy program that helped me (not 12 step based) so that I could stop compulsive gambling and prescription drug abuse.I hope Smallstar finds help, too, because isolation feeds addiction like nothing else.Catmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
