Day 13

[Amaryllis1974]

Ahhhh!
I slept like a baby!!!! I fell asleep around 11 or so, and woke at 7:30 am. I feel so much better. The depression leaves as I work on steps, and I am so much more confident than I was 2 days ago!!

Sleep came easy, for once. (Of course, I had not slept in 12 days, so...)

Thanks to YOU GUYS on here for carrying me thru when I forgot about God!!

So glad to hear that you're doing good. We can survive without narcotics it just takes a little bit of time getting used to living without them.
Good job on working the steps too. Do u go to meetings? I've been going pretty regulary but haven't found a sponser to help me work the steps yet. I'm desperate.

Anyways good job and thank you as well for being a part of this forum and helping me with your posts & your stories about fighting your addiction. Its (you) have helped me to stay clean for 17 days now.

I'm slowing poking my head out from under the rock

I'm on day 6 and actually had a dream last night!  First one in a long time!  I woke up hungry for food, not pills, and feel joyful!  I almost crumbled on day 4 and man am I happy I made it!  Without you guys I would hace caved for sure!  Anyway great job on 13 days!  I am really looking forward to that again!

thanks every one.
Yes, sleep is taken for granted when not in this place. I woke with new eyes!!! Every thing was so dam* pretty!!!

The step work is going to save me, I have been promised that. I am dumbed down and ready to LEARN and LISTEN!!!

Wonderful news.  Sleep is something we usually take for granted, until we can seem to get any for a day or twelve.  I remember when I finally got to where I could sleep, man I would get home at 5 and be in bed by 6 and then up around 6 in the morning.  Did that for a long time.  

Your step work is truely going to be your salvation.  I can only imagine the benefits it could bring early on in recovery.  I unfortunately waited about 7 months to start and NA
is now something I look forward to each wk.  I make at least 2 meetings a wk and 3 when I can.  Keep up the hard work, it will pay big dividends real soon.  guv
