Our greatest opponents are our minds. The mind is like a playground and will continue to run the merry go round as often as we allow it. Sometimes there is no strength or enthusiasm to do much else and the past result may have been less than gratifying for the effort so we tend to drink or pop a pill to numb the 'mind' (playground) for just a smidget in time. I have found over time a noticeable difference in energy and mental capacity to steer clear of the obsessive negative thinking by putting in prayer requests (over 10 people pray) at http://www.rhema.org/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1&Itemid=109 it's undisputeable the momentum of energy vibe in your desired direction will take shape a lot faster than when a lone. Whenever I feel badly toward anything for more than 30 minutes I jump online, type in the address and type in a request... almost instantly I feel better & nearly everytime the day starts to cheer up on it's own. Remember anything negative or bad feeling tends to be oppressive and the strongest lifting aspect of help and healing/resolution comes from our Spirit not mind that's why I believe it works so well in tapping into the Spirit side works well. can relate to all the information and experiences here on different levels, similar feelings without the drug addiction, for sure as debilitating.

I really think we're not. Why should we feel good when so many people don't? So become a positive force in the universe, and as Ann Landers used to say, Quit 'cher bellyaching. And sure, clean up around you. That always feels good. Great post. See, it’s an evil myth that people believe, that we’re SUPPOSED to feel good all the time. I really think we’re not.

It takes thinking things through, a plan to get through the tough early stages and most of all, support. Then, as you move further into recovery, you realize that your are building a whole new life. I got through it all with the help of my family, friends, Church and the Celebrate Recovery group I became a part of. It can be done alone, without help. But why would a person want to do it that way when so many options are out there?? Josh, don't be afraid. I pray that God will give you everything you need to get through your recovery. Erin, great post as usual! I appreciate what Jared is getting at, but just like active depression, addiction is not something that most people can just willpower their way out of.

It stared with back pain. My preference was for perks, second, dillys. I quit my job, husband, my way of life and relocated 200 miles from my hometown in the middle of a sweltering August. Day one, could not lift my head. Spent about a week in and out of bed, sleeping. Took me two weeks to get the sickness out my system. That was in 2005. i didn't go on methadone, I still take mass quantites of tylenol 1's otherwise I get feeling run down and sick. My husband wasn't so lucky, he went on to have to use 6 dilly 8s in order to feel normal. When that sort of supply ran out he turned to shooting heroin. Today he is on methadone and believe me you sure don't want to EVER run out of that! To all of you trying to quit using pills I know for a fact you can do it. Quit it already! Its easier than you think especially once you are past day 2. I quit a pill habit costing $40 to $100 per day. It stared with back pain. My preference was for perks, second, dillys.

I experienced Oxycontin withdrawal without using things like Suboxone or Methadone...it can be done. You need support and lots of it in the beginning. Willpower is not going to get you through early recovery. Here is another piece of advice for you...go back and read my very early blog posts. It has been about a year since I started this site and I have gone through just about every situation that someone in early recovery can go through. Maybe there is something in my story that will benefit you. So please feel free to keep in touch with me and ask for help whenever you need it...even though it is really hard to do. JUST DO IT!

I do bartend and I find all things easier than most, and Im gonna make this work, but I am still full of questions of suboxone and I will need a little help to get thru this next week of work. I did appreciate the article above, but for a man with no medical insurance. Im feeling a little scared in the days to come. Any suggestions without calling me a dumbass etc.. would be greatly appreciated. Im aware of my situation and what I have procreated.
