11 days clean and back to work tommorrow..

[Army220]

We'll my vacation from Hell is over at 7:00 am tommorrow morning.  7 days away from work and I am dreading it being I am a supervisor for a major utility company.  I am sure my desk has a ton of work on it emails, phone messages, yata yata yata.  You guys know what I am talking about.

OverallI have been doing pretty good.  Stayed busy all weekend doing yard work, playing with the kids, spending ungodly amounts of money at Costco.

I was pretty moody and cranky today for the first time.  Is this normal pretty much normal or am I just a little anxious about work?

We'll gotta go and get to bed for work.  Talk at you guys later and will let ya know how the first day went.  Yipee

Just the fact that you gave up your vacation to detox and get clean tells me you are very serious and that this is your time.  Be proud of what you've done and for showing the self discipline you have.  Hope you're having a great day, we're all thinking of you!

It is normal to be moody. You have been doing great!! Keep hanging in there!! Don't work too hard...LOL
Best of luck to you!!

It's very normal to be moody and cranky. The SamE along with some Amino Acids have helped me with that issue.
I hope you have a good first day back but I would expect you to be very tired tonight.

I also used my vacation time to detox off methaodone, I normally go somewhere nice & relax out on a beach somewhere & just leave it all behind, this for sure will be one vacation I never want to go on again! But I,ll make sure that this summer I do something fun & rewarding, I deserve it.  Penelope

It's normal to be moody and cranky. When you get back to work you will be busy and that helps too.

Good Luck,

oh yey...i sure hated having to use my precious vacation time to withdraw from pills ...but hey...it was worth it yey?

[GoingToMakeIt]

Yes it is normal. Adjusting to work will be different, but I think you will like it again. We relied on the pills but in reality, they hinder our thinking ability. Good Luck

[worried878]

Good luck...my first day back went well..I was just tireder that I thought I would be...but have made it and not so tired anymore...I was nervous too as my job is stressful as well..I actually think it helped to go back to work and stay busy in the long run...let us know how it goes
