Day 5

Omg I would kill for some good sleep. I finally fell asleep at 630am and woke right up at 730am. I do thank God for that hour and half. I feel completely exhausted. Most of the physical part is gone except for no sleep, anxiety, and aches and pains. I feel like if I could get some sleep that would help my body to recover faster. An hour feels like a week right now. I want to cave in and get something so bad just to sleep, but I don't want to start the detox process over again. Everyone please pray for sleep for me. Thank you to all.

Yeah I have melatonin and valarien root. Doesn't seem to help too much while going through withdrawals. Thank you for the advice though.

You should start turning the corner anytime now hun. We are so proud of you. I turned the corner on day 8 I think. I'm at day 17 and feel completely normal. When I get tired I'm actually able to fall asleep. It's so great.
