I definitely feel like thats why it might be so painful for me. Although I have all of these chronic illnesses, and I will always be in pain, the pain that I’ve been numbing for all of these years is hitting me all at once.
Thank you for caring. But I was in a really bad accident and had to learn to walk again. Ive also had fibromyalgia and arthritis ever since I was a child. So I know pain. I honestly don’t know what life would be like not living in some kind of pain. The only reason this pain is so bad now is because it’s the pain that I’ve been numbing for so many years hitting me all at once.
Oh bless you, im sorry for all youve been through, sobriety is the best thing you can do for yourself, i dont know alot about fibro but i know with arthritis any kind of drastic changes in lifestyle can make a big difference for a while, i was going to suggest pain meds but obv youl already have those, anything you can do to comfort yourself at the moment do, big hugs from me
Awesomeness! Take it one second at a time if need be. One thing that helps me is I play it allthe way through if I have an urge. For example I think about how I would feel later in the day then how I would feel in the morning and the regret.
You got this!
Well done Niz, great going. Keep going, you don’t wanna go thru this again. You are nearly there.
