Hey! Good job! I totally relate--I remember Day 7 quite well; I think that was the night I chalked up 6 delicious hours of sleep after getting only 1-2 earlier on.
Enjoy the clarity but try not to forget the misery of 1) the w/d's, and 2) recognizing the shell of a person you had become b/c of the pills...There's so much opportunity ahead for us (I'm Day #18) as long as we stay the course. My motivation comes from remembering the suffering; maybe yours will also.
Great work; be proud!
You can do this, one day at a time.

Hi. I am new to the board. Been lurking for the past 4 or so days. Tomorrow will be day 6 for me w/o lortab 10's. Bout 5 per day.
Sleep is a problem here too. Restless legs BAD!!!! Got some meds at wal-mart for it. It relieves it quite a bit, but not fully. I am still experiencing muscle aches and the shakes at night. I had a really good day today. I spent time outside with the kids. Tonight is really bad though. Hoping tomorrow will be less painful at night.
I will beat this monster tho. Looking for new ways to enjoy life w/o pain pills. I have considered pain management, but my mom and dad both have went thru that and it only helped a few months...plus way expensive. It's rediculous the cost of professional help. If pills wont kill us the medical bills will. I have to tell myself that I am choosing life everytime the thought of Lortab crosses my mind.
Nice to meet you,
Until Then,

Yep - I am so restless when I try to sleep - like I am constantly moving ... no shakes though. I can go about 10-20 minutes, then all I do is toss and turn. I feel like a zombie, but I guess I'll take it over the selfish person I was while taking vike.
Thanks for sharing.
