Day 1 again

Today is the start of another try. I started taking my naltrexone for the cravings and lorazepam for the anxiety. Not going to lie when the hubby came home and poured himself a drink it was tempting. But instead I went and folded all the laundry which has been sitting on the table in the laundry room the past few days and it felt pretty good. Just trying to refocus and get back to the good place again. I am grateful for my strength and willpower today and for the sun coming out.

Day 2 again here for me. I'm back on Naltrexone again myself. I actually went into the ER Sunday night. My withdrawals were getting so bad I needed help. They are giving me benzos to get the withdrawals down and I'll be starting in an outpatient program when I get out. Stay strong!

I have relapsed and for me it shined a major spotlight on what I wasn’t doing for my own recovery. Get plugged back in to the recovery community!

You as well. We can do this. Just gotta keep standing up and pushing forward.

I am hoping reaching out and talking to people who understand the journey will help keep my mind on the right track and keep me motivated to keep pushing forward even when it feels like I’m walking to rough fast drying cement. Thank you all for encouragement and sharing your own struggles and victories. :heart:
