DAY 21....

Day 21 off of Suboxone outpatient detox... Day 31 off of DOC.. Feeling good for the most part.. I had a weird moment today where I got really cold.. just like the chills one would feel coming off of opiates.. lasted about an hour.. was strange..I put on a sweater and checked the thermostat at work.. (which of course was on 63... I work with 3 men what did I expect) Even after I adjusted it to my desired 71 degrees I still had these strange WD like chills.. Luckily my shift at work ended and it went away.. it was a strange reminder none the less.. a reminder of the Wd's I didn't have to go through at work thanks to the Sub.. a reminder of my old pill taking behaviors.. and a reminder of how lucky I am that if I keep going at the rate I am that rarely will I ever have to feel that way again, and when I do feel that way its a reminder to keep me on my toes..keep moving forward.. to keep fighting..
I hope everyone had a great day.. and has a great weekend.
XOXO

It is such an inspiration reading about how far you've come. I'm (once again) about to
embark on a journey to quit vicodin. I was to see a pain management clinic yesterday but somehow I overslept and didn't leave my house until about 15 mins before I was to
be there. I called enroute and said I'm on my way..."well, we are completely booked solid
today and you showing up 20 minutes late will throw us way off schedule..we'll have to
rebook".."when can you get me in? "end of August" grrrrr..
and I'm completely out of vicodin, so I may be forced to go the cold turkey route since it appears i've been "flagged" at the local pharmacy chain. More on that later in another post.
I just wanted to say congrats to FLaddict and thank you for the inspiration.
