I'm FREEEE!!!!

hi Everyone,

Just a quick update....I am free and sober from those evil pills. I beat them!!! It took a full 4 days to be able to get out of my bed...but I am alive and well!! To be honest I have never suffered as much as I did over the past few days, but I can't tell you how happy I am!!

thanks so much everyone! I do still get cravings every now and again, espically first thing in the morning when I was so used too popping a few perks and being able to get my day started fast....but i'm working through those cravings. I have never been happier to have so much of my own money in the bank because I was paying 5$ a perk, and taking up to 20-25 a day. I go back to work today and I feel so proud of myself that I am sober!!!! To me, my aftercare is looking at my kids and husband knowing that I have taken that horrible evil out of my house. In 2 days i'm going to be a week sober and my body id finally starting to feel normal again. I can laugh and smile and its the best feeling knowing that its just me....not a pill making me happy!!!!
