Thank you! I appreciate all this support. So with my speed bump where does this put me in my detox? Will everything start over from the very worst? I feel okay today...my head is killing me and I am still tired add on moody as well. I slept A LOT this weekend. I would try to spend time with the family when I could. I also found myself saying daily prayers, per your advice Robert. It helped me feel like I wasn't so alone which is one of the reasons I didn't take more pills.

I have spent a lot a time on this board today and I really, really want to have my life back but it scares me when I read how people 9 months into being clean still don't feel normal and crave pills everyday. I don't think I could live my entire life constantly anxious...I want a better life. Tell me I won't be punished the rest of my life for making a mistake?

Sorry, I am needy today...I need the extra encouragement...like I said I am moody.
