I am proud of you for getting off meth and taking the right steps to get right with yourself and the kids. But please listen to me when I tell you that for an addict - One high always leads to another whether it be weed or alcohol or anything else for that matter. I've seen it in my husband many times. He was clean 71 days and had a drink and wanted more, not more alcohol, more meth. After all that time he wanted more meth because he felt the high of soemthing else. And if you are smoking pot, aren't you around druggies? You need to stay away from those people all together. Drink some calming tea. Camomille tea is calming. I used it for anxiety and it helped. I also stopped drinking ANY caffeine. That will calm you even more. SO please for your kids sake and your sake,leave the weed behind too. It's great that you can be honest about it, but be honest with yourself too. This will just take you back eventually and that is not a good thing after all the work you have put in to getting off meth.
I am proud of you girl. Keep it up. Take it one day at a time. One hour if you must. Don't look at tomorrow only the moment you are in. And when you think of yelling at those precious kids, think of this - do they know any better? Maybe I should sit down and explain to them why they shouldn't do that or if it's not something they did, just let them know you need a little alone time and then go to them and give them a BIG hug and kiss and tell them it's not them you are angry with and that you love them to the moon and back. They need alot of love right now and although yelling is hard to NOT do, if you try each day to change that - eventually you will. I had to do that also because dealing with this was so hard and my children were all I had and there was no way I could make them feel alone like I did for so long or make them think any of this was their fault. Love and hugs and talking to them is the key to healing.

Keep up the good work and don't forget to pray. Whatever you need, ask God for. Even if you don't beleive in God, ask away. When you get it - thank him. I asked for a smile, cause for so long I couldnt smile. Now I smile all the time. I asked for joy cause i wanted to die. Now I never think about dying, I'm ready to live. I asked for peace in my home - I have peace in my home.
