Thank you Robert, oxymom, lilbri, melinda, cagirl, gosh the list is soooo long, my brain hasn't had enough coffee yet, only the 2nd pot. Yesterday was ROUGH. Last night I "roughed" my husband up (figure of speech) and he's just a backwards kind of guy i guess. He felt bad that he hadn't said anything of any value, but I know he cares. I know my best friends, my grandmother and grandfather, who are up there holding me up, are with me no matter what.

Today I feel ALOT better, but I'll keep my fingers crossed because my 3yr old grandsons still sleeping! My mind feels a little more at peace and thankfully I have been sleeping these last 3 nights like a baby. Its a little hard getting motivated and I still have no energy. Thats the worst being the mom of a very energetic 3yr old, 8 yr old, 15 yr old, 19 & 21 yr old. Not counting the evil twin stepdaughters ( just kidding-not really). But atleast today is better so far. If I can get the mountain of laundrey ive neglected over the last 4 days, I know I can do anything.

Again, without all of you, your experience, your wisdom and advice, I really would have been using again. God, I will NEVER forget any of you and hope you're still there when I need you. I hope Ive not been a pain in the axx, but I certainly will be checking in daily, and sometimes hourly, who knows? But each and everyone of you helped me get through yesterday and I can't thank you enough.

PBS, congratulations! go back in your thread and read your posts, you have come a very long way! Keep up the good work. I am 8 days off hydro. Every day we are given is a blessing! You can do this. On my fifth and sixth day I was very crabby, but, even normal people get crabby (by normal i mean people who are not addicts).

Take your time today and try to enjoy doing the laundry, I always think while doing laundry, for some readon I enjoy laundry. I think I like seeing the clothes come out fresh and clean. Sory of like we are all doing here. We can in "dirty" and we are working on coming out "Clean"

Take Care,

Funny Cheryl, I always enjoyed doing laundrey too, I think for the same reasons. Maybe thats why thats the first thing I want to tackle! My husband just sent me a text saying "i'm proud of you". Enough said, I know hes rooting for me too. I just hope I can keep this feelilng up through the day, I don't ever, ever want to feel like I did yesterday. Thank you all again. You'll never know.

Dont try to be super woman today, It is o.k. to take a break, maybe even close your eyes for a few. Dont let yourself get overwhelmed you have your hands full already. If you ger overwhelmed remember what yesterday felt like! and remember You are in control today not drugs Sure is nice to have hubby be proud! Mine is still in shock. Every day I confess a little more to him about what I have done in the past, dont want to tell him all at once it may throw him into real shock, lol. I have not been completley honest with him for a very long time. Feels good to no be hiding things from him anymore.

All of you ladies make my day! I think it's so cool to see each of you supporting each other this way when no one here even has a year clean and look how far everyone has come. We nearly kill ourselves over the years and in such a short time we can be given our life back. That is certainly mercy and not justice. God bless.
