day 6 without 8pm

Wow, what a difference a day makes!  For anyone new here and possibly reading this, today (for me) has been a turning point.  After 2 years of 15-20 Lortabs daily (never actually having a prescription) day six of not having them has been the best so far.  I actually willingly left the house today...and even more important...I FELL ASLEEP WITHOUT A SLEEPING PILL!!!! It was only for a short nap, but i when i woke up i couldn't believe it.  I am still a bit jittery but not nearly as much as yesterday.  Also, i am not running to the bathroom every half hour either....looking at everything as a whole...i really shouldn't be so excited about these little things since they are just normal...but one step at a time.  As always music has helped immensely...not sure why but today i found myself shouting and hopping around while singing to The Dears "Lost in the Plot" and Interpol's "Obstacle 2".  Just for good measure though i still find it to be a big release to scream out the lyrics to The Cure's "Lost".
