30 days Tramadol Free, Halledingdonglujah!!

Hello everybody.
I just want to begin by thanking each and every one of you "angels on my shoulders" from across the "pond" for getting me here today! I shudder to think what I would of been like if I never found this site.
Its Ironic that I have received help and support from heaven sent people situated thousands of miles away whereas my own GP works and lives less than 2 miles away,what is the American saying again "go figure?!"
I am in an amazing happy place right now and I am not leaving here, it's 530am here at the moment and I have been up an hour now, this milestone made me feel like waking up on a Christmas morning, but today I am not receiving a crap jumper and socks with Santa or Xmas trees on!
I have a very busy day planned today starting at 730am finishing hopefully at 8pmish tonight!
I am reaching out with hugs strong enough to make a grizzly bear feel light headed right now to each and every one of you!
THANK YOU WITH EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART "Y'ALL"
Richard.

Thanks buddy.
That was just round 1 yesterday! My soon to be ex wife wants me back to the marital home at 8am to help with the kids before school, then 9am to totally empty "our" large shed out, put a "carpet!!!" in there and rearrange everything nice and neatly! It's currently 0 degrees here at the moment so I'm not really looking forward to that! Then after that she wants "our" summerhouse roof re-felting.
I was really looking forward to my 4 days off before but now I want to be back at work for a break!
Thanks for your post mate & take care.

Congratulations bud.
You just described a week's worth of work that you did in one day....unless you have learned how to clone yourself and there are really two of you.  If that is the case keep cloning because the world could use a few more like you.
Have a great day,
Larry

Hello everyone.
I would like to begin thanking each and everyone of you heaven sent heroes of mine!
Your help, advice and humour have gotten me through the darkest chapter of my life and I will take all your names with me to my grave and beyond, you guys are a massive part of my being now, if I could afford the airfares I would visit each and everyone of you guys for a 1hr "bear hug"  and a cup of tea!!
I've never been one for self- congratulating but I am proud of what I've achieved and what I have beaten!
It's 845pm here at the moment and my day started at approx 5am and I'm whacked, I walked to my local surgery nearly 2 miles away at 745am, told to return to see my GP at 850am so I returned "home," just to return to the surgery 40 minutes later!!  almost 8 miles cardio done before 930am so I felt
great.
10am back to my marital home to clear the loft out, (I got out of going food shopping with the "wife") 2 hours later I had cleared and put flooring down in the loft, had fun with my youngest boy until I had to pick my oldest up from school at 315pm, got him home and we started on an "Easter basket" for a school competition on Thursday, bloody angry birds theme!
Done for 715pm, took my youngest to bed and he was asleep for 750pm, gave my oldest a huge hug and kiss and left the marital home back to my parents for 810pm PHHHHEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
Just had a huge slab of gammon, a jacket potato and cabbage for dinner and a cup of tea watching scrubs on YouTube!
Sorry for the long rundown of my day but that's how I celebrated my "milestone," by having a normal father and "husband" day!
I could still do with some cake like you said tho Toothfairie!
God bless you all.
