Tramadol Free x 7 days tomorrow!

I've made it to day 7! The "morning fog" seems to be gone! Today was 1st day i "functioned" (i.e. got off the couch, went to church & out to eat w/my family. I did not even take a nap all day!! I did not have diarrhea, didn't cry & actually felt kinda energetic mid-day! Days 2-5 were hell on earth. I am trying to re-learn how to act everyday w/out the drug. I was on anywhere from 4-10 50mg's/day x year or so....do you think i can assume (yet!) that i am "over the hump" physically from the w/d's??   I tapered for 1 week & then went c/t....never had insomnia, just the opposite-could do nothing but sleep days 2-5, no seizures, just EXTREME fatigue, diarrhea, tears, depression, & lethargy.  

What about my "demons" that rear their ugly heads & tempt me to think negatively when i wake up ev. morning....how can i continue to fight them off effectively? when will they go away? Can i assume that the "corner" i turned today in energy/physical symptoms is a good sign that i am going to get better & better ev. day??? or am i just wishful thinking???
