6 months!!

[hydrosnot4thisgirl]

15,638,400 seconds, 260,640 minutes, 4344 hours, 181 days,  25 weeks, 6 months... I celebrated my 6 months opiate free a couple days ago & I feel incredible!! I've had my ups & downs but mostly ups. I'm so proud of myself that thru all the stress I have in my life right now, I've been able to remain opiate free. I can't even believe I spent 4+ years living in the Norco fog. Now that the fog has lifted it feels amazing!! This has been such a crazy journey & I could have never made it thru without the love & belief my hubs has in me & us!! When we both decided to quit I thought I would fail, he just kept reminding me how strong I was & that we could do it together & we have. I'm grateful everyday for him!! I know I haven't posted in quite a while but without this site the first month would have been so much for me. All the people here were so amazing and helpful & understanding!! Big thanks to my friend Kathy, ur amazing K, remember that always!!
Everyone just starting out... You CAN do this!! I was taking up to 15 norco a day, felt like I was dying if I missed my "dose", I thought those little yellow demons would control my life forever, I felt hopeless and lost and out of control. Now, now I feel clear, healthy, HAPPY and truely loved. Feeling in general is great again!! Everything even the stressful or sad feelings feel good, just actually FEELING is awesome. I'm proud to say that I'm still beating this monster, those lil yellow pills no longer control my life, I DO, and I love it!!
I hope everyone is doing good and enjoying summertime!! All of u just starting, think positive, u can do this, 6 months will creep up on u before u know it!!

I did some statistics in my journal while in detox. With the help of the resident shrink, we figured I took roughly 25,000 vicodin ES over the years. That works out to be 187,500 mgs of hydrocodone. The real shocker to me was the amount of unnecessary acetaminophen I put into my body...18,750,000 mgs! I was told not to take any more tylenol in this lifetime...duh, wonder why!!=P Anyway, congratulations on the 6 months! That is fantastic!! Keep up the good work...cat   =)
