53 days and counting,  I am up now and have been all night, sleep just does not come to me. Now last week I slept good for a few days and thought ok this is it, but lost the sleep 2 nights ago and here we go again. I think we all have our demons, mine is sleep and anxiety. I had a big slip right in the middle of it, it is not worth it. You can do this and I am  proff, I am doing and If I can do it after 4 1/2 years on vicoden you can too. Just a little encouragment from another dependant person.  good luck and prayers to you.
