freedom from fear of speaking month

I was hiding it from everyone, feeling self loathing and so much fear! Here I am walking away from another addictive substance....An act of love towards myself. I kept telling myself that I couldn't deal with more w/d...You know what? That's just my addicted brain. The pain of what I'm doing to myself is much worst than any w/d could ever be. The shame, anxiety, and fear has been paralyzing. I am not going to let fear control me any longer.

I'm not an IBS sufferer anymore, but my most difficult part of my former IBSC&D was the loss of freedom to go out, to travel, to do things with friends. Thank god it's all behind me, since a long time ago, but I can still recall many details. Not knowing what the next moment would bring, meant that I needed to know where the nearest bathroom was.

Norco free for 30 days!!!!! It can be done!!!!! THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR STORIES AND HELP!!!!! My brain is much happier. Still having heart palpitations and fast pulse rate. Possibly from the pain or w/d. I'm not sure but I have been happier this month than I have in 15 months. FREEDOM!

Based on research and experience, we are all too aware of what to expect withdrawing from methadone - and even though we have done this in the past - the situation was very different then. We were different people then, But NOW - now we are READY TO LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE DRUG FREE!!! - Honestly, I never expected to say that, never expected we would feel that way, we are so THANKFUL to be able to make this decision...

Trump destroys what the "the establishment" Republican Party is all about, so I'm ALL FOR HIM. This country has been trying the same thing, over & over & over, for the last 60-years... and look where it's gotten us, and WHO it's gotten us. Of course, none of you really like him, and that's okay. That's what makes this country mediocre...

Had to change the title of post cuz day 3 is not where I am thanks to God, AA and all of you who cared enough to not judge my journey. Believe me I thought I was a looser the one that just couldn't get it but I kept trying so just hang in there wherever you are on this journey today is the day. Yesterday was my first day completely free of anything in my system. Im 8 days off opiates and I stopped the Valium and Ambien yesterday. I haven't flushed them yet but it's my plan.

Glad it went well, I have told my story a few times, very scary I do behind the walls at a work relies program, I have a big fear of speaking in meetings, last time I was asked to do it I said yes, chickened out and scheduled my neck surgery a week before to get out of it, I have 13 years, thank you for being strong and sharing that, it inspired me.

Well, I spoke of it a few days ago......that is getting off the Vicodin and I just took the last 4 I had. I am terrified of what I'm probably going to face. Usually when you fear something, the bark is worse than it's bite, but in this case, the bark is just as bad as the bite, if not worse. Still, all I have to do is get through 1 week.

Then he put on a condom, before he could get the head of his penis good inside of me i asked him to stop. The next day i asked my did he have anything and he got very offended. He stoppd speaking tp me.. 3 weeks later i got tested for STD and everything came back clear, On April 15,2010 I went to my doctors and got HIV tested, becasue o was always nasuse,tired, and forgetfull. Nothing came back, now i have lower abdominal pains and jus now ive been having what i think are night seats.

London, England (CNN) -- In a room thousands of miles from her prison cell in northeastern Iran, the fear that has gripped Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani for years was clear and almost palpable. "The day I was given the stoning sentence, it was as if I fell into a deep hole and I lost consciousness," said a human rights advocate, reading aloud from a letter attributed to Ashtiani.

So often we do focus on the hell of detox instead of the bigger picture of a life of freedom from the pills that controlled us. Congrats for taking the brave step to reclaim your life. Time to take that new hip out dancing and celebrate your new found sobriety. Thanks so much for sharing.

Well every day just gets better and better for me and my wife|, A cant beleive we have been clean of hard drugs such as heroin,But with the help of some close close freinds such as Letakos,Sophie,Jimi, and Gizzy,A think we would be dead by now 101 days is awesome for us there were times i wanted to just score ad give up it was that hard,But with all the help and encouragement in the world,We had to kick our heroin habits that or our lives,Now our lives are so much better we are enjoying it somet

d participate in the trading of contraband seeds outside of three miles from my home to represent how ridiculous this is.

one of the main reasons I keep putting off quiting the cigs is my fear of the weight gain...Nothing worse for me than being FAT AND FIFTY.. except the fact that I will be able to breathe better... save money... be around to see my kid get married... experience being a Grandma... Not smell like a cig.... have less wrinkles....need I go on?!?! I think NOT... sooo Congrats to you my friend..

I still have the urge to take a pill to deal with strong emotions,anger,pain,fear anxiety etc .But it is not near as often as it used to be .Being clean of opiates is like running naked through an emotional minefield sometimes but it is getting better ..Yay to being free of pill counting and an pill schedules...worrying if I have enough for the day or whatever excursion we go on . Loving the freedom!!!

It is good to know all of this. I know from experience from others we have all our documents in our safe so I try to explain to the kids if anything happens to us this is what you have to do and they don't want to listen to it. At least now they know where they are at. If you have a safe I suggest putting your life ins and etc in there so everyone will know where they are at even though my son doesn't want to know the combo.

Yes that would make some sense as regards what is happening now but before the recent terrorist incidents France did not treat the people who were Algerian there very well and they lived there because the country had been a colony of France (I remember because I visited there, the people were subject to route discrimination and lived in extreme poverty, then again I don't know if they were all Muslim).

There was no vaginal sex, only oral and mutual masturbation. Please let me know whether I am at risk of being infected by HIV from that night. (There are studies from different countries who have different opinions as to the risk of HIV infection from this activity. The woman I met was from Brazil and lives in New York...I don't know whether this information helps.

The first 10 days were pretty rough physically for me. But, with the help of this forum and specifically Charlie and Tina, I got through the worst of it. Thank you, my friends! Today I celebrate. Anyone reading this and thinking about starting this journey, please know that it will be a decision you won't regret. Keep reading posts and posting here and before you know it, it will be a month. And you will have your life back!

As mentioned in my first post when I joined this forum I believe I supper from OCD. Lately I have been kind of in control however last weekend something made me panic again and I don't have balance anymore to decide if its a risk or just my OCD speaking. During my breakfast in an hotel i was eating butter and found some red stuff in it. I didn't realize it on time so I had half of it.
