[jibi07]

I woke up this morning feeling a little bit more lifeful, i had enough energy to get into the shower, as i had been only showering the night before bed cause knew there was no way i would in the morning................... it felt good, i actually put on some make up, did my hair nice and here i am at work writing to you wonderful people. I started on the Boost this morning, hoping that everyday i feel a little stronger and get that much more energy................ it only gets better from here.... i have been reading everyday and the posts that everyone writes are wonderful and inspiring and has hepled me get to where i am right now.................. thank you... i'll keep checking in!! xo

Your already seeing things differently after 7 days,so keep up looking after the body,its been through a lot.In the next few days think of all the little pieces of life that will start shining through that you masked,mine was hearing birds singin again,good feelings.It is so much better than a life with dulled emotions.Again,well done.

Hi Harms.. thanks for your comment, and your right, i'm already seeing things differently, and it feels good............ all downhill from here right!! :-)

thanks again!!

Hi and congrats,seven days was a turning point for me also.Each day you will get a little better,energy levels will steadily improve.With sobriety little glimpses of the life that we masked with pills starts to return.Smiling,laughing,enjoying life is the choice you have made,excellent post.Take care

Congrats!!!!  Day 7 is huge.  Its also a marker.  After day 7 things seems to get easier a little quicker.  You will still have a foggy day or a maybe a day like day 6 once in a while but it wont last long.  Hats off to you for making it this far.  Just so you know, I am on day 16 and still lightly feel the effects of the wd/  Still tired of course even though I am sleeping.  Just part of the process though I guess.  Things are so much better.  Congrats to you .  Keep up the good work.  You have done great!
