1 week clean! helloooooo anxiety.

Im so proud and happy I am one week off the vicoprofen.  I know I have a long road ahead of me but considering I wasn't a heavy user I think im past the worst.

Used zero sleep aids last night took a hot bath before bed and used my heating blanket while unwinding in bed. I slept from 8:00 p.m.- 6:00a.m. With very little interruptions. YAY! woke up with no head ache but do have the runs pretty bad.  I think that ties into my next new symptom. Opened my eyes at 6 and immediately I am having anxiety about my first day back to work tonight.  This job is my dream job, I love what I do. I just have never worked there without Being on the pills. Suggestions on how to deal with this would be wonderful.  Other than that still no cravings. The thought ofv the pills make me sick.  And ive noticed they are crossing my mind less and less as the days go on. Thanks for all the support. This page has been my backbone.

And for anyone on day 1-4 and are having doubts.  KEEP GOING IT GETS BETTER.

Congrats on 7 days! I am almost there and as you said each day does get better. I am also getting a little anxious about going to work for the first time not on pills, but I know once I'm there I will survive it. Good luck to you :)
