Day 6 already??? whoop whoop!!!!
on day 6 and feeling FANTASTIC... clear headed and energized... for those of u that don't know i was on vic's and perc's for over 5 yrs got clean for the past 3 yrs and had a couple procedures over the last few months that i had to take pain pills for of coarse my body got hooked again right away and i kept taking them scared to go through the w d again.. however this was not that bad at all but then again i was only using for a couple months and not near as much as i was when using for 5 yrs straight.. i can tell u the best part of my life was those 3 yrs clean and i am soooo glad i snipped it in the butt before it spiraled again...i don't want to miss one bit of my babies lives and i don't want to waste anymore of mine... for all those struggling please please stick w it even when u feel u can't keep pushing.. i had a couple small relapses where i took a couple pills here and there or i would have even more days.. but days is not what is important so much as that i am clean!!!! also if you are struggling w energy i take a dietary supplement i started a little over a month ago (mostly to loose a few lbs) but the energy is clean and natural it is FANTASTIC i believe it has played a big part in me being able to continue housework even mow the lawn on day 3 and 4 of w d.. (which was REALLY good for me to sweat) i have lost 15 lbs on these and the energy is great.. they r NON addictive and all natural if you want more info on them pm me i have already got a couple people on here starting them... they really r awsome.. i believe in them so much that i started selling them only because i know they work and i know so many people friends and family that struggle w weight loss it has really helped my self esteem and even more now that i am clean and don't have that burden anymore!!! i will be happy to tell u about them through a pm since i don't want to take up a whole post on them because i know we are all here for addiction.. it is just somethign that has really helped me and i know people r always looking for something to help because the pain of w d is NOT fun and neither is the 10,000 lbs your body feels like it weighs while going through it... God Bless everyone and keep pushing stay strong!!!!
great job day 7 that's where i am:) we CAN do this we ARE doing this:) i can imagine the w d after a 4 yr addiciton when i stopped last time i was on a 5 yr taking at least 25 pills a day:( it was a HORRIABLE w d.. so i know what u mean.. this one was not as bad but def not comfortable:( glad to hear u r feeling so much better!!! keep going there is NO life on those pills.. i agree this forum is so important and so many are finding stregth and encouragement to quit from this site even if they don't post they r reading!!!! what a great thing and yes everyone on here is wonderful..keep strong!!! and God Bless you too i have also been praying for EVERYONE on here struggling even if they have not quit or decided yet... or if they don't know Jesus personally you never know what God will do with them if they give it to him and there life to Jesus!!!!!
Hello i to am on day 7 after a 4 yr addiction man i feel so much better today than yesterday,if it wasnt for all you great peoplew i never would of made it this far.i was up to 8 to 10 pills a day just so i could work and function,and since i quit on day 7 i do see there is light at the end of the tunnel.Plz stay strong i need youguys and gals and i am praying for all of us God bless
so this am when i woke up on day 7 i had a gut feeling like a craving not mentally that i wanted one but it was physical does that make sense? anyway i got up and took m,y supplements along w my energy one and stated cleaning and it went away.. is this a physical craving where ur body wants one but not your mind? or is it something else.. i vagually remember having this last time it was right when i woke up but once i started the day i was ok.. even still i pushed through it feeling pretty good just a little over whelmed that my husband is staying in the town he works in because he has band practice for the worship badn on sunday so he wont be home till 10 pm which leaves just me and the kids all day all night and all day tomorrow at 4:30 so i am kinda worried about being overwhelmed and being stuck in the house all day and tomorrow too:o
end of day 6 tomorrow is day 7 YES!!!! i am still feeling really good i cooked a awsome dinner tonight and am actually looking forward to bed time:) keep pushing everyone it IS worth it and it DOES get better there r some ups and downs but it is so minimal compared to your whole life... there r many on these that have not even discovered they have a problem yet or have a desire to get clean so be thankful that you made the decision that is the first step...i have lived a life both clean from these and strung out and clean is SOOO much better in every way!! anyway you all know this stuff i just wanted to encourage you to keep pushing!!!
Congrats on day 6! That is awesome!
I would appreciate the info on the dietary supplement you are taking for energy! I do not need to lose any weight, in fact I'm trying to put on a couple of lbs, however, I sure could use the help in the energy dept! It is one on the things that still plagues me! Feel free to PM me with all the details! Thanks, and stay strong! Keep moving forward!

thanks vicki and yes i participated in celebrate recovery at my church for a long time after getting clean before.. i stayed clean for over 3 yrs and would not have even started using again except for the fact i went on them for some medical procedures and my body got physically hooked again and i kept it going because i was so freaked out about the w d again:( however since i was not using very much and not for long it wasn't quite as bad as i thought but still not fun...i always have celebrate recovery if i feel i need it.. but right now and when i was clean before i really had NO desire to use again.. my life was so much better and i know that i don't want them back in my life.. in fact i canceled a procedure i was supposed to have in 2 weeks just because i don't want to go back on them... Jeannine just keep pushing it is hard i know and it feels like time stands still but it will be behind u before u know it:) i too got lots of encouragment from reading others posts just keep doing that it will all be a distant memory soon and you will be YOU again.. and there is NOTHING better!!!!
This is great to hear. You seem to be doing really well today. Congrats on Day 6!!! I'm a couple of days behind you, and follow yours and others stories as a sort of inspiration. :)
