+1 more day clean +1 more hour sleep

Question

day 14 or 15? i got about 5 hours sleep last night, not great sleep, but sleep.
i cant believe how hard this has been, how slow this poison is to leave my body.
im excited about my brain starting to produce natural pain killers again.

anyone know how long it will be b4 my brain/body is completely back to normal after 3 years of light to medium pain med use (not abuse)?

Realistically It takes months to years to be "normal"  there is alot of research our there on amino acids and them helping your brain function normally faster.  I am looking into it myself and have ordered a book on Amazon. However I found alot of reserch on the internet as well..

Pick up some Melatonin it helps sleep naturally..  because of the drugs you are probably melatonin deficant..  look it up online. I found it says to take the lowest dose and increase by 3mgs every half hour til you feel sleepy. I am gonna pick some up incase my Lunesta doesn't work.. which it doesn't always.  I hope you are feeling better soon. and congrats on your days clean...

Melan. is good but there was a recent article in one of my bodybuilding books about it. Let me dig up the article before i speak directly about it but i think theres something a lil better but the just of it was melan. gave you reallly vivid dreams which in turn gave 70% of the ppl nightmares. But like i said let me go look for it ill post my findings later tonight.
