Thanks so much for your support through this and I realize it is not over....when I get sick or back acts up and I have to make it through work will be the true test..I am going to continue to read and post as a reminder of this experience so I dont lighten up and use again...forgetting the pain these have caused me...you know our minds tend to not remeber the pain later on

This forum is the only way I got through my first few months off pills. Stress and anxiety were one of the biggest issues for me but I think you going back to work and being busy will be great and really help you thru. I've almost been clean a year I had to stay busy or it was all that was on my mind. That passes with time as you heal

So happy for you,girl!  You sound great.  I was real nervous about my first day back to work, but, it turned out great.  I'm sure it will be for you too.  Keep up the great work!

I am soooo Proud of you!!  Thanks for all the encouragement and I know you can do it!!!!  I may go back to work tomorrow, but are you fatigued?  I feel soooo lazy.  My hubby mentioned caffeeine if I go back tomorrow.  Is that ok?  I will never go back because I don't want this feeling EVER again.  I am on Day 3 and I weaned down pretty low and my major complaint is RLS.  If you get to work tomorrow and you don't think you can make it go to the bathroom a bunch of times and tell them you must have a bad stomache flu.  If not let us know how your first day goes!!!  Thanks again a a big CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!
