7 DAYS CLEAN.......I FINALLY FEEL GOOD

[corbear]

So I'm 7 days clean from my norco addiction. I cant believe I made it this far after so many times of failing. The difference is that I WANT IT BAD this time. I finally feel good today, not great but pretty close. It took me a while to realize this morning that I dont have that overwhelming heaviness in my arms, shoulders and legs today. Theres no burning and crawling skin. I just cant believe it. I know there will be bad an good days. Believe me I'm prepared for that but I'm gonna live in the moment and at the moment I feel so good and I'm gone run with that. I have had that horrible feeling for 3 weeks now, the first 2 weeks was my taper and the week I totally stopped was hell. God day 4, 5 and 6 of being clean were h*** for me. Sunday I thought I was gonna have a nervous breakdown!!!! That mental part is a b****. My poor family took the brunt of anger on that horrible horrible day. But we got through it. Yesterday was also bad, the burning and crawling was the worst of all yesterday. But today like majic its gone.
I read so many post throughout that time and I am thankful for everything I read. I think it helped a lot to know that I wasnt alone. So thank everybody for getting me through.
I'm just living day by day and minute by minute. I truly know I beat this demon this time and am so thankful. I NEVER WANT TO LOOK BACK!!!!!!
So to everyone out there starting the process of detox and getting clean, hang in there. One day you will wake up and realize WOW I feel good today. The pain of detox does pass!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much!!!!! Its so appreciated! I am dedicated. I cant live my life like I was living. My family dont deserve that and neither do I. Its seems like its been a long, long road to just get to where I'm at now. I'm glad I did it and I'm kind of glad I had to go thru that pain and torment. I NEVER WANT TO GO THRU THAT AGAIN.!!!! and I wont!.

mollie-you and ur husband can do this. It will be hard, it never is but it can be done. The mental part is so so hard. I never thought it would be as hard as it is. But my husband and kids know about my addiction and they were such a great support. I know I could of not done it without them. I would of caved already. When your muscles are hurting and burning take hot baths and use a heating pad. Today is actually the first day in 3 weeks that I havent needed my heating pad.It was my lifesaver. It feels so good to finally feel good. My head is clearer and I'm not walking around in a fog anymore.
Today is a beautiful 65 degrees day and I'm gonna go play outside with my  kids today. Go for a walk to the park sounds nice.
Thank you again everybody for being supportive.!!!!!!!

Your attitude is also really positive and that helps so much as well! Enjoy your day today!! You totally deserve it!! Keep posting...
