Cold turkey- help me when I'm tempted

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?

How are things today, spun?

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 02/02/2017 11:07

Well actually I'm feeling a lot better, bleeding has slowed down an awful lot and cramping has stopped. Am still waiting for hospital to call with scan appointment though, so will give them a few more hours and chase it up. Just resting today, well resting as much as I can with a mental 2-year-old to look after! Thank you for your concern, I don't really have many people for support in my life, certainly no one who knew about the pregnancy anyway x

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 11:09

Look after yourself spun It's horrible waiting for news Flowers

Yes it was a bit a head fuck miscarrying a baby that I didn't even know I was pregnant with a year to the day pretty much since my world fell apart due a bereavement. I left my response to Laura at just one word and was proud that I resisted the temptation to get off our thread fuck off if she wasn't here to be supportive Smile

Spun not sure where you live? A lot of hospitals in London have walk in early pregnancy scanning centres. I had cause to go for all three of my children. (I bled with every single one them)

Cleaning well done for being restrained, hopefully like lost said she was just being naive rather than malicious. If only all it took was to think of our kids

serialtester · 02/02/2017 11:48

Laura, unkind she is.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 11:54

Philosophical as ever, Yoda serial Wink

Brew and Cake for us all on the surfboard today.

Ignorance I dislike Smile

I hate being told what I 'should' and shouldn't do/feel/say

How are you doing today flat?

Are you feeling better yoga? Serial ?

flatwhite45 · 02/02/2017 12:51

Ironically snuggled up with my 2yr old watching paw patrol! Wink

Feel pretty bad: anxious, down, guilty. But hopeful too.

serialtester · 02/02/2017 13:22

The snot is still strong with me!

serialtester · 02/02/2017 13:23

Flat, hope you feel better later.

Just had a director be very rude to me.. one thing on my mind Sad

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 14:33

I'm throwing you some extra armbands Cleaning and some of those non slip grippy rubber shoes.

Running through some imaginary conversations with rude director in your head might help? E.g., piss off you rude wanker, I hate your haircut etc.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 14:38

Or alternatively you're an overpaid cunt and I could do your job with my eyes closed Blush

Remember that I once mentioned not being as powerful as I'd like? He's trying to block my way he's crap at his job and feels threatened Angry

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 14:43

That's it Cleaning let it all out Grin.

flatwhite45 · 02/02/2017 15:12

Arsehole, tell him if he doesn't lay off, you will set a load of coke addict mums on him.

We will get him in the corner of a pub and talk him to death

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 15:25

Grin flat talk him to death.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 15:34

That would literally drive him to suicide! He looooves the sound of his own voice Grin

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 16:24

The fuck it switch is flickering big time Sad

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 17:02

Cleaning hang tight you can ride it out, you've done it before. It just sounds like you've had a shit stressful day. Sad

Not feeling the strongest myself today, got a massive headache that tablets aren't touching and I know what will get rid of it in a second so that's not helping. Fucking trying to convince myself I need it for medicinal purposes is ridiculous I know. Confused

flatwhite45 · 02/02/2017 17:26

Cleaning hang on in there! Lost: you too, I know you have horrible comedowns too, so keep focused on them. Take paracetamol for your 🤕

flatwhite45 · 02/02/2017 17:31

Medicinal purposes

The lies we tell ourselves Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 02/02/2017 17:32

Thanks yeah I've taken paracetamol, drunk loads of water and now eating salt & vinegar crisps in case I'm low in salt Confused like that's going to help

Hope you're feeling stronger today flat you sound a bit brighter. Are you Suffolking at the weekend?

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 02/02/2017 17:44

Home and dry... feeling much better... several cigs later Grin Thanks ladies!

My medicinal struggle is at the time of the month. Literally nothing else works. Shame it costs so much more than a prescription Wink

Heading to day 6 💪
