day 3 of my long road

[AlmostThere]

Re: day 3 of my long road

May god give you strength. I know most of you have heard this or have it hanging on your wall but these words always give me strength in times of hardship. They have helped me through addiction and personal loss i hope they help you in some way.


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.

Other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life

When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,

I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,

That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.

But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life

There have only been one set of prints in the sand.

Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,

"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints

Is when I carried you."

Soda,

I've known about your OC addiction for a LONG time now, and I'll let you figure out how. I had the same addiction. In fact, I only have 52 days. Take vitamins, drink water, and take it one day at a time. If that don't work, take it an hour at a time, or a second, whatever the fuckin works bro! I stayed with my mom too, and suffered through the cold turkey withdrawals. On a positive note, kinda, my pain/exhaustion/anxiety subsided at 7 days almost to the hour. About day 5 I had a few moments that I felt good, usually right after I ate, then I'd feel bad again. I was also addicted to crystal meth, and though that's probably what I could contribute what happened on day 6 to the meth, I'll tell you bout it anyway. I was lying in bed and woke up at my usual 2 hour intervals when my kidneys started to spasm so violently that I flopped around on the bed for about 30 seconds. It scared the shit out of me.

I'm not trying to talk about myself, this day is yours. I know you are strong enough to beat this. I told you about that to be aware, and watch yourself really closely.

Relax, I know you don't have the energy to do simple tasks like change channels on the television even with a remote! When you have trouble sleeping/pain go lay in a hot bath. It realy helps if you can use a jacuzzi tub and turn the jets on.

I have found so many song lately that are written about addiction, even songs I thought I knew before. I guess that's my new interest, at least for now.

My prayers are all about you my man. I hope you know that I mean that!
