Day 8 Feel Great !

Thank you everyone. Today is day 8 and I feel good. I think part of feeling so good is.... I didn't realize how much stress the pills added to my life. Always wondering if I had enough and where could I get more. It was consuming every minute of my life. I know I'm going to make it this time !

To everyone out there in days 1-5 hang in there. I have had a bad day, a good day etc..Still need to take something to sleep at night, and from what I read I might have to do that a while longer.

The biggest thing I feel now , that I lost on the pills, is optomism.  Oh yeah, and a sense of humor.
I know just being on day 8 that I'm not done, and have no right to give advice.  I just want to spread some hope.  I know I can never ever even have one stinking pill again, and I am an addict for the rest of my life.  
This forum has helped sooo much.  I went to NA yesterday and I have to admit it just wasn't for me. I think this forum helps me much more. It seems here I get people that are going thru EXACTLEY what i'm going thru.  Have a great day everyone !
