Working on day 5

[Mikeinthesouth]

This is unreal I am working on day five and actually feeling a bit better today this morning was a better day in waking up to that horrid feeling of dread. I am still feeling everything but it feels more so like it is possible for me to make it. I see all with a little more clarity this might sound stupid but the morning smaell when going out first thing in the morning is something I don't have on a normal day and have not gotten it back yet, but from experience know that after ten days to 2 weeks it comes back and id enjoyable. When not doing this cold turkey I actually smoke alot when on Morph and the like but I have stopped smoking at night and don't smoke until after 11:00 a.m not even trying just don't want to do it. The sweats especially on the back of my neck has gone this morning the sheets were dry and I did not have to flip my pillow a million times last night from sweating this out. I did not sleep much at all but layed and watched the t.v until I forced myself out of bed to shower and get a diet coke. I hope you all are doing well especially all of you going through this with me. My prayers to you all. Cheers until next time. Mike

Congrats on day 5! Yes, everything is gonna start getting better from here in. Kinda. This is when the cravings will start and you'll need to plan ahead for them. Try to avoid your triggers. This is where you're gonna have to work for your recovery. When you have cravings, run quickly to this forum and post. N/A is something you might want to concider too.  Good luck and stay strong.

Sounds like you are doing so great. I am on day 2 of Vic w/d and I just hit my 24 hour mark and I am feeling pretty bad, my back and my stomach hurt not to mention the burning sensation and the cold chills. I envy you for being on day 5, gives me hope that maybe in just a couple of days I will be doing better. Wishing you the best!

Hi you're doing great. It's quite an adventure this getting clean. Thank God I don't have to do the first week again. It does hurt. The second week is better. Each day is easier, but with different challanges. My thoughts get negative sometimes but I stay there only as long as I choose to. Keep good thoughts. Give yourself alot of credit for all the work your'e doing getting clean.
