Cold turkey- help me when I'm tempted

[rainbowdash17]

I'm about to go cold turkey from cocaine.
It's time to! Definitely
My weak points are when I'm tempted to buy some (usually evenings)

Can I message on here when I'm tempted for a pep talk on why I shouldn't & reassurance that it's ok?
I think it would really help me

Do you reckon we can do this?

Sorry to hear that serial

Well done for not caving like me after a shit day

Cleaning: organic humous!! Is it 'cause you're worried about the chemicals in the non organic humous love it! Anyway thanks for the dishwasher cleaning tips, as you say serial its rock and roll all the way! There must be a connection between the utter mind boggling drudgery of housework and the desire to get fucked on cocaine....

Oops that's flat by the way!! I name changed for another thread. And forgot to change back soz

Organic homous! love that. That's me all over, trying to be all healthy; vitamins, 5 a day, never taking over the recommended dose of paracetamol, then getting out of my box on a load of class A!

Had a crap evening, sorting out tax returns. Don't know what is doing my head in more, the tax return or my husband.
Sorry you had a shit day, Serial, hope the helped.

Morning all! Happy sober Wednesday

Nearly lost the plot last night over tax returns and The Mystery of the Missing P60, but I survived!

Have work today, full of good resolve for the weekend ahead.

Oh dear poor you! Hope you found it? I am off to singing group with my two year old! Feeling hopeful about this weekend too

Tax returns are awful things! Yes, I'm feeling full of resolve for this weekend.

Hello! Feeling good over here too, haven't smoked today either which I'm pleased about. I'm sure I'll buy some cigs on the way home though as darkness falls and my thoughts start to wonder

Clean, you're virtually Mother Theresa today!

I know, it's all or nothing with me!!

We're all sounding really virtuous today . Flat going off to singing class (I remember those toddler days fondly) ,Serial in a good mood, Cleaning not smoking, it's all good.

Thursday in my head is the start of the weekend so we are soon entering into The Danger Zone. Let me know how you are getting on.

Danger Zone is right... I just spilt a load of salt on the granite.. dh and I just looked at each other but didn't say a word... we don't need too

Oh dear not a great visual image! It drives you mad how it's always on your mind doesn't it?
In my more surreal moments I sometimes scoop out the washing powder, look at it and sigh.

I spilt some washing powder on the kitchen floor the other week and swept it into massive lines!

From tomorrow onwards it's gonna be tough. I'm nearly at 3 weeks. I'm feeling twitchy though.

3 weeks is bloody amazing Serial .
I always get worse towards the weekend with cravings. Really massive can't think straight cravings! Let's try and talk some sense into each other if it gets bad .

Flat Is quiet tonight. Have endless repetitions of Wind The Bobbin On sent her over the edge?

Ok so my master plan for this weekend is to take myself and the family away to Suffolk (we live in London, so the outer Hebrides isn't very practical, though I may have to consider it if this doesn't work) We are going to a lovely isolated cottage that we have been to before and LOVE. Leaving Friday, coming back Sunday, my DH has sworn blind he won't take anything with him, and I am pretty certain our dealer doesn't deliver that far! So what can go wrong?? I just have Thursday to get through. I have actually booked the same place for the following weekend also. I know it seems a bit extreme, but I really am utterly desperate to get a couple of sober weeks under my belt, and it seems way less expensive or disruptive than rehab.

Serial you are welcome to join me if it all gets too much , in all seriousness is it worth having a plan? (These cravings will subside as time goes on I am told), I hear one month can be quite a turning point. I am in complete admiration of you

That is indeed a master plan. I think getting through a weekend will give you massive confidence in yourself and Suffolk sounds far nicer than tying yourself to a chair leg.
Sometimes being in an unfamiliar place helps break some of your triggers and the kids will love it.

Hope there's some decent heating though, it's absolutely freezing . Will be thinking of you.

Thanks Ilostit!! I so need to break the cycle. Glad you are feeling resolute

Happy sober Thursday!! Have a fab day everyone. Let's all channel our inner superwoman today

Thanks Flat.
I'm looking after my two lovely nieces today, 1 and 3. They've discarded my toys and books in favour of jumping on the sofa and throwing themselves onto the cushions on the floor.
Hope they're not this energetic all day.

Lostit sounds like you have a fun packed day ahead!! If all else fails then Peppa Pig is still big amongst toddlers, also a newbie called Paw Patrol!! Raisins and peas at lunch time keeps them focused

I've put Paw Patrol on the Sky timer. Thanks, Flat!
