Hi I\'m Nicole. I\'m new to this place. I also need to get something of my chest!
I really feel like using right now, and my main reason behind that is because I\'m dealing with some major Anxiety and Xanax was always the way to take it away. I seriously thought about calling up some people and trying to get some. You know \" just for my anxiety\". But I know that maybe it would start there, but it would end up somewhere else.
I would remember that \"feeling\", and just take a few more than needed. If not for my strong faith in God, I would use again. I would ruin everything I have worked for these past 6 months and I would relapse BIG TIME.
Just needed to share!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
May I ask, do you feel you are a codependent?
He has to be reeling at times and the anxiety, my husband told me, is all part of the addiction and wanting that \"fix\". There is also a spitirual side to recovery, do you know if he has accepted and worked on that?
It sound like he really wants to stay clean and I commend him for that and to do it on his own is awesome, but there aren\'t any rules so he is allowed to get the help that is available to him. Counseling is another avenue.
I hope I have helped in some way. I remember what we went through in his first year. It\'s hard on everyone but hardest on the addict.
I am not at all a codependent person. I simply don't have any experience with this (thank God) in order to as supportive as I could be.
Lately, he has been in a great mood, feeling good. He tells me I am good for him, and I hope I am. Having this group to talk to so I know I'm not alone, and that he's not alone, really does help a lot. Thanks!
