Two weeks clean, can't sleep but not complaining

[Christie082979]

It's still hard to sleep and still a little restless at night but I'm not complaining. I'm forcing myself to work and learning to enjoy things without pills again! I want to thank this forum and all the great people who help each other through this addiction we all have in common. You guys all rock! It feels like time is going by so slow when you are off the pills but goes by so quick when you are using. Just taking it one day at a time.

A good attitude like yours is half the battle. As Jimmy1975 mentioned it's best to take this one moment at a time. It's best to just roll with it & not look for a day or month where it'll all magically fall together. It does improve though!! Congratulations & keep up the great work!

That's all you can do is a day at a time ! But each day is one closer to regaining total control over your life again and that feeling is immeasurable . Congratulations and stay strong .. Jimmy

Thank you Bubulous and takingmylifeback, I know money can be a big trigger for me with the pills but at least you are aware of your cravings and know that the money coming in is like playing with fire. Just keep fighting that craving and know it's NOT worth it! Thanks guys!

Hi!!! Good Job and GREAT Attitiude, Iearned having a postive attitude goes along way. It is hard but it DEFINATLY helps alot. Keep Trucking!

I am glad you are keeping a positive attitude.  I am doing the same as best I can but I had been craving over the last week.  Some days it was everything I could do to get out of my head but I emerged on the other side of it clean.  I have 47 days now.  I am getting paid tomorrow and am a little worried about that because I have been broke during all of my recent cravings and although I feel refreshed and ready tonight I know I have to fight again tomorrow but as you said I am not complaining, has been and could be worse.
