100 hours!

[1yraddict]

I just hit my 100 hour mark which was my goal Monday Morning.  I am doing great.  To all of those out there that just started, you would not believe the difference 100 clean hours makes if you hydrate and use other tools we all talk about (amino acid protein shakes, immodium, gatorade, multi vitamin, etc).  You think clearly, you look back and dont recognize that person, the dicisions you made, the A$$hole you are to people when you are on them without knowing.  I feel fatigued still but totally clear head.  I have a 500 HP engine in me with a little gas and I cant wait til that gas tank is full, because i took sobriety for granted before i got hooked on vicodin a year ago and I will never take advantage of how beautiful life is sober.  Oh and my skin, holy crap, there is color and no bags under my eyes.  I had no idea what i was doing to myself.

Good luck to all and thanks everyone for all who talked me through this and stood by me through my detox.

Good luck to everyone who is just starting or 5 years clean.  Stay strong it is sooooooooooooo worth it.

You are right, my head has been acting funky, like the sun is SO freaknig bright and thigns taste different.  

I have had some cravings for the pill, i think thats because i was so used to reaching for one anytime i did ANYTHING.  its like smoking, just gotta break the habit now and the craving.  

I noticed today i was gonna go see a movie and i almost felt my seld reach for my bottle of pills (which dont exist anymore).  So ya those head games?
