Today is day 10, hanging in there

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone here.

those who have made it through, those that are in the middle of a war against their own mind and body, and those that are scared and want to begin. I have benefited so much from knowing that I am not alone, and seeing others conquer themselves.

I am truly grateful for the stories and unending support of kind souls on here. I will continue to draw support from you all.

Peace

Yes fake it til you make it is popular saying in recovery...lol  glad your family will be back with you...sleep will come soon...just hang in there....i was impatient too wanting to feel better NOW but it doesn't work like that.  

I was a slave to pills every day as well...counting, making sure i had enough for the week, canceling plans if i ran short etc...such a prison we put ourselves into...but it feels soooo dam good now to not have to worry about that....i wake up every day now thankful for that...and so much more..

Bobo: good for you! Glad to see your still hanging in there (and here)....as you know from my other post I had a low, crappy, dark day today - but still, each day is more progress. Keep going.

I am doing pretty good. I am not out of the woods yet, butI have n't seen my wife or son since I stopped, and they get home tomorrow.

I am exercising and  eating chickenat every meal. Sleep is still hit or miss, but I am getting by.

Every day I get up and rejoiceover my morning coffee that I am free, and don't have to take pills to get through the day. I am no longer a hostage to the physical and mental need to get pills into my system.

I was stuck. My days are not perfect, but I am no longer stuck. That  is good enough for me. I made it through my first week of work and I suspect the second week will be a little easier. Fake it till you make it was my mantra
