i have always said anyone who can go to work during this is one tough cookie...THERE was no way i could, all i could do was get my kids to school..
So good job, u can do this..
i am 5 months clean and my life is good!!
stay with us,
As far as sleep, man that is a tough one, i think time helps, not what everyone wants to hear, but dang that is tough
the only thing that helped me was a benzp, jumped in very hot tub, and hurry up and get in bed while your body is warm, but heating pads around calves, that is a life savior..
Don't take the benzos more then the first few days that are really bad..
good luck to you

Yes you are doing great. I can't imagine working on day two. But I'm not a brave sufferer.
I agree that if taking valium the first few days helps and even nyquil , it's ok. You are passing the worst part with flying colors.  Don't be too hard on yourself. Try to take breaks and get yourself a massage they sure helped me in withdrawal and anytime I have pain aleve doesn't help.

Man, are you brave to go to work and do that healing kind of work on day 2!  Your determination is amazing too.  You can do this.  Stay connected here.  
Try to be careful of using other things that can be habbit forming. But, it Sounds like you know what you can handle.

I used Xanax for those first few bad days. It helped me. Good job on day 2. Usually by day 5 things start looking up. I quit using Vicodin c/t from a 8-10/day habit. You can do this.
