17 Days!!
Hey Everyone,
I am 17 days clean!! It feels so good to say that:) Anyone reading this who is in the early days of detox...keep going, it is so worth it!! I was doing really good for a while and then last weekend I had a horrible rage feeling all day long. I was so crabby to my family. It seems like it has passed for now, I really hope it doesn't come back. I feel happier but now these last couple days, I am so tired in the afternoons. I have left work early the past two days just so I can take a nap before I pick up the kids. Taking care of an 18 mo and 2 mo is exhausting while going through this. They do keep my spirits up though! I do have to say that I feel so much "clearer". My brain already feels happier and free of something. The "smell" coming from my body is finally starting to fade. I can still smell it in my face and hands. Yuck! Everyday I take my multi-vitamin, Cal/Mag/Zinc, Potassium, B50, and L-Tyrosine. I am not sure if they help or not (because of how tired I still feel) but I will keep taking them. I have been sleeping all night (well when my baby doesn't wake up) but still taking Ambien. Just wanted to let everyone know that this journey is soooooo hard, but so worth it. Everyday I still think about taking Tramadol. I will not give in!!!

Congratulations!! So proud of you. I'm on day 18 and I really felt like I turned a corner this week until my benzo taper- now I feel like I'm all in WD again.
It's def hard to do this with kids, but they deserve good parents and you deserve a good life.
We can all stay strong together; a life spent chasing pills is no life at all!! I know all of this pain is going to be worth it. I want to be a better mother to my daughter and I want to be better to myself as well.
Keep knocking those days out!

Great job girl & keep it up!
Day 10 for me & agree with you. Some days great...others, not so much. When i get aggravated, tired I just look at my 3 & 5 yr old & say "for you". It helps. I have to take Lunesta to get to sleep as well. I've always had a sleeping issue so this is nothing new.
Keep at it & congrats on sweet 17.
