Day 30! cant believe it

I made it a month, thats insane! (ct from oxy/hydro/methadone) Monday was a complete turning point for me. For some reason my lower back pain I was experiencing just stopped. Just like that! Its an amazing feeling.

As for the state of my w/d at day 30.
-i get 8 hours of sleep a night
-no body aches (no back aches now!)
-sneezing has almost subsided
-i was always cold, now my core body temp seems to be improving
-energy is making its way back (doing alot more things now)
-i have some very minute PAWS but i'm hoping that goes away soon

I can goto social things and not have to worry about getting high before so i can enjoy myself. To not have that burden of always thinking of how many pills i have left, when i'm going to get my next batch. blah blah, is so liberating. I'm free now, mentally and physically.

I thank everyone so much for helping me through this. Without your wisdom and encouragement i would not have made it this far.

later

Awesome!  I needed to hear that.  I am on day 12.  On a ski trip and it is raining.  Very depressed today.  What is up with the sneezing anyway?  I thought I suddenly became allergic to myself!

Nice job!!!!!  I'm on day 10 of my c/t from a serious hydro habit.  I actually feel worse today than on others, but you have given me motivation to keep my eyes on the prize.  FREEDOM from myself.  Congrats.

Yeah for me the sneezing was pretty bad. On my worse days, I would sneeze exactly 4 sneezes in a row about 5-6 times a day. I'm glad to say I'm down to about 2 times a day :)

You did what most people can't or won't do. That makes you a rare person. Nothing insane about that.

I find myself somewhat envious of you at this point.
