I have to thank you from the bottom of my hear for your last post. I’ve scheduled an appointment to start Suboxone (I’ve become dependent on opiates since having a spinal problems) and desperately want my life back. While I was 90% committed to starting treatment, a small part of me was frightened of all the potential negatives of Sub. I also have depression, the opiates were a gift for that…my fear was that would come back after stopping them. Again, thank you, I’m excited at the prospect of really living again!

First things first. Take care of you and yours. Get acclimated to what sounds like quite an intellectual challenge. We’ll be around when you do get your bearings.

The way you will be great at creating the drive within you is to find something that will give you that drive. I know it sounds corny or cheesy or too easy – but it is just that simple. Many times I speak to people who are on the job hunt and just can not find anything they like or want to do – so what do I recommend? – - – Create the position – the job – the career – the business and then do it! People prosper so much better when they work at or work with the things and people they love!

Go for it Girl!

I didn’t sleep today either!

My magic motivation came in the form of a suprise visit from the landlord.

You know, this is the first year that both of your kiddos (and mine too) are in school full time. It’s no wonder that you’re at lose ends. Srsly, when was the last time that you had this much time to yourself? So I wouldn’t come down on yourself too hard for not having a swinging social life and ten hobbies to occupy your day.

We both gave up a large part of our identities looonng before we evah picked up a vicodin. Maybe it’s time for us now – to look after ourselves and figure out who we are and what we like again.

You are doing so great!

For addicts to be restless, irritable, and discontent is dangerous. It’s trite but try making a gratitude list. After all, you’re getting what you were so desperately wanting recently – down time. Enjoy it.

Procrasti-NATION must end. I read your post and realized that you are just wandering around not exactly knowing where to go and what to do. End the procrastination by making the decision to do something. Set you goals, write that plan and get it going!

bear- I wish you healing and light. This is not an easy path but one that is well worth it. Ask for the help that you need and know that there are people out here in the world that are thinking of you. I wish you well, and please give me an update when you are able.
Peace and love, A&J

adlawerence, GLG, and bear,
I am so glad that my words have helped you in some way. I am doing this as much for myself as for those out here who are where I was not so long ago… Life is hard and it is so good to know that we are not alone here. Thanks for your comments.
