Day 6 :) woohoo!!

So today is day 6 without any opiates. I surely feel the best I have in a long time. I went out for dinner and to watch football last night and I noticed that I LAUGHED.... it felt so good to be happy and sad and everything except numb! I don't think I've truly laughed in 2 years!!

Tomorrow I have to go back to work and it's a 10 hour day so that'll be the real test of fortitude. :)

Well good for you!! Please, keep it going. I remember the last time I quit for three months, everything was like a new expereince. I laughed more, music sounded different. I started to hang out with my friends again. We dont realize how much we give up when we are addicts. We dont realize that we isolate ourselves from the outside world..It is amazing what we actually let happen. Well, congrats on day 6 and keep it up. We are pulling for you...

Thanks so much guys!!! It's kind of weird how we used to make excuses to ourselves for things these pills did to us. I noticed that I hadn't laughed much. Once my father (who blamed my boyfriend because nobody can be good enough for me in his eyes) even said "i've noticed you don't laugh anymore, I haven't heard you laugh in a couple years!".  I agreed with him but I just told myself that my sense of humor had matured or some bullsh*t. It's so nice to have that part of me back!

You did incredible....................way to go!!!  

Keep us posted on your daily progress girl,
