Sanesoul Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Oh gosh Vic. What a horrible experience! I'm so sorry. I'm so glad you came through it. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 You can be sure I was thanking the Lord I am here!! I am getting better though. The swelling is mostly gone now. On the 29th I go and have the stitches out and see when they pull the tooth. I am sure everything has to heal first. Then they pull and then it has to heal and then they have to replace. I am still having pain in the muscles and nerves because of the local freezing though. My nerves often complain about that for weeks by gangling. Link to comment

Sanesoul Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Made a disturbing realization about myself last night. My poor therapist. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 So my therapist wants my doctor to increase my dosage of Celexa because it's not quite cutting it. She also told me that I would need therapy for a LONG time. Gee thanks, I'm more messed up than I thought. She also wants my doctor to refer me to a psychiatrist to re-evaluate the meds I'm taking. I have three major, life-altering disorders. I won't give in though. I have to keep fighting. She's afraid I will become agoraphobic if I don't force myself to get out of the house and go to work. Well, I guess it's a good thing I can't afford to sit on my ass at home, otherwise, I fear that's right where I'd be. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 A couple of good things so I don't seem all doom and gloom: I have finally began writing in my handwritten journal again (haven't since March), and I love it. I didn't realize how much I missed it. It's really helpful for purging. My therapist says that I am incredibly intelligent. That's kinda cool. And the biggie I quit drinking, this time FOR GOOD. I am on day 6 sober, and haven't had a single urge. I'm determined to defeat the beast this time. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 10 days sober! I have so much energy. I love it. Yesterday I FINALLY cleared out my spare room and turned it into a craft room/study and it's wonderful. I'll be able to do so much more now that I finally have access to it. I'm reading a lot, writing in my journal, having fun and generally enjoying life. I hope it lasts awhile. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 14 days sober. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Thanks Vic! It feels good. I went to a cookout today and the beer was flowing, but I didn't touch a drop. It didn't even bother me. I was really proud of myself. 15 days sober Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You CAN do this.You know what I have told you I have been able to do. I am just an ordinary gal. If I can do it someone as special as you can do it too. HUGS Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks so much for the encouragement Vic! I'm more confident this time than I ever have been. I enjoy being sober. 17 days sober Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 See you CAN do it!! Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 3 weeks sober! Yay me. It hasn't even bothered me this time around. I think it was just finally time. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I am so happy for you SS!!! How is your husband doing? I know he was sick a while back. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 He's had a nasty cold for about three weeks now (I didn't get it thank goodness), but he's getting better. I'm very jealous of him because he is going to Germany for a month in October for work. He's flying into where I used to live as a child! The company is paying for Europasses for him and his boss so they can travel while they are there. I told him I better get a souvenier from every place he visits. He's really looking forward to it, and I'm happy for him. It's a once in a lifetime experience. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 26 days sober. It's still not bothering me. I even went to a work dinner last night where the alcohol was paid for by the company, and I opted for soda instead. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 31 days sober! I'm just giddy. I don't miss it all, and that combined with an increase in my medication has made me feel really good. Now I'm reading a book about a high protein diet that makes a lot of sense. I'm probably going to try it out to see how it works. Link to comment
Huntress0527 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Congrats on keeping strong!! Addiction is hard thing to overcome so be proud. It'll be 2 years in Dec since I've smoked pot (an everyday recreational smoker) which I still have friends that do it so it can be tough when it's around you. I'm sure my body thanks me for quitting.

Sanesoul Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 I need to remember that people generally don't know what I struggle with every second of the day. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I feel like I could lie here on the couch for all of eternity. Yearly medical appointment today and med eval. She's going to keep me at what I'm at for a few months and see how I do. Two hours at the doctor drained every ounce of energy I had. I'm pretty numb. Link to comment
