I can't say that I can help,  but mornings too are the worst for me. That's when the anxiety and shakes set in. All I can say is that I wish you the best and hopefully things get better for all of us on here.

Mornings....    get  up an hour before you have to go to work.......  take a long shower  and then eat breakfast....  even if it is a few bananas,   the potassium is a boost to your system after the drugs.........   turn on your music  and dance.   or if you run,  go for a mile run.  get the endorphins going in your head    work  thru the shakes......   you may trip a bit  but you will get thru it.   And will feel  so much better after shaking off the morning negatives.        Whether you read,  or listen to music,     start  each morning with your favorite song  the one that  makes you smile,  or  read  a passage that touches your heart.      And thank god  that for one more day you did it with no drugs!!   Congratulate yourself      think of all the positive changes you have made   be proud of yourself and reiterate to yourself  that these bad feelings will pass soon   and what a great person you are!!!!!    Turn your focus  to   the positive......   screw the shakes  you are way  so stronger than those!!!!!

I don't have anything to add, but just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you...you are doing it!!!! way to go!! keep up the good work....before you know it we will be celebrating one year clean.

congrats to you...i dreaded the mornings in my first couple weeks of being clean cos i always popped a handful of pills to get me going so i popped on med help as soon as i awoke and posted and read....i also started to eat breakfast which i never did while on pills...eating high protein foods..listening to your favorite music might help also....good news...mornings are beautiful now....i can wake up and not need a pill to function...hang in there...it will pass and you ll love mornings again...maria

And you are right   smoking a joint on the way to work  is not the best thing to do to yourself.   Gosh  you  know that!!! You answered your question yourself,  it is an accident waiting to happen.   I am sorry honey  but smoking  can  or could be a big trigger for you to use pills again.....      please try not to use,  especially in your early days of recovery.....     just for one day,   don't smoke......     Let me know if it makes a big difference or not, okay?   I am sending you all my best thoughts  and again so very proud of the huge steps you are taking!!!

Take it from me who has gone through 2 w/ds. It gets better & easier every day! MAKE yourself do stuff. Walk outside AND take the time you need to just lay down & get through the w/ds when you can. At one point I thought I would NEVER feel normal again...but YOU WILL! Its right around the corner! One day very soon...you just wake up & feel, well, pretty good! And then you know you made it. It feels GREAT. Stay tough. Its worth it in the end. I PROMISE.

Reading all these wonderful posts put a HUGE smile on my face, i just got back from a bike ride maybe to help the restless legs and arms when i go to bed, and help what not with the anxiety.....People were right this is the best website for help. Not only am i being inspired by other people stories but i am getting some of the best advice from experienced men and women...i want to thank you all, all of you have helped me through this every step of the way....im still young only 20, so i need as much wisdom and strength i can, i still feel somewhat of a outkast since i have not really met much people my age but im adjusting....o and good news my first NA meeting is tomorrow i just hope there are people around my age to relate with and make me feel comfortable.....Once again i thank you all and i love eacj and every one of you, STAY STRONG EVERYONE PILLS CANT RUIN ARE LIFES NO MORE!!!!

o and Lateaugust i will do that prolly not tomorrow but i promise you Monday...thats pretty much my friday for work so it will work out the best and i will keep you posted on how i feel!!!! thnx for the concern

Again...it WON"T last. It WILL PASS. The best feeling in the world is knowing at that 'moment' that hey, I'm hardly sick anymore, actually I feel pretty darn good, its almost over...or in fact, may be over. You will know you did it. Its a great feeling. I am proud of you. I never ever thought at one time going through it that I could ever feel normal again, but guess what? yep, you do & you will. Its there waiting for you.
