Pink Angels Diary......

Hi PInk,

Well done for picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and getting right back to it. I have been trying for ten years now, and couldnt get any more than about two weeks af at a time. SInce joining the community, I have to date 3.5months af and going from strength to strength. I know it can be done. If someone had told me six months ago that I would have this much time al free, I would have laughed at them (sadly). I finally have my head straight after all this time, and the longer I stay off the grog, the better things are getting for me emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. Life and its hassles are still there, but my fear of actaully living life on my own terms and not in a chemical straight jacket has gone. It has replaced by a contentment with my lot and the joy of just being alive. I wish you stength to stay with this, the rewards are priceless. Love Saffyxx

I'm so proud of you Angel. There is No quit in you at all. I think that's the key for many of us. Never ever give up, because suddenly it all clicks...we make it over the hurdle and our lives change in profound ways. I know this is the road your on!!!

:goodjob: Pink, attitude is so important in beating this thing into submission and yours is very positive.

:welcome: Fsumaniac. I have ADHD and see a top psych twice a year for medication to regulate my moods and brain chemicals. A very high percentage of ADD and ADHD sufferers are addicted to various substances because they make us feel 'normal' at first. ADD is like you're always on the outside, looking in, and when on some mood altering substance it kinda helps us feel right in there with the rest of the human race. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the 40 lanes doing 80; other times like I'm in the 80 lanes doing 40. Al takes up the challenge to balance me...or it did at first. It's an illusion...
Try finding a good psych (Mine's $220 for 35 mins) which is a helluva lot cheaper. Get your medication right and look into some of the drugs you can learn about on the site.
All the best on your journey...keep posting.

PS They're called threads...start your own and others will jump in to take an interest and make you welcome.

Well done Pink, 5 days is marvellous. You will no doubt be feeling better physically and maybe mentally. The exercise is fantastic for getting rid of the tension, getting out into the world and getting some feel good hormones running around your blood. Take your strength from the fact that you can do five days and keep that vivid in your memory and mind. One step at a time, one day at a time, Pink you will defeat the demon. Love and strength Saffx
