DAY 8 = FEELING GREAT
Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well..Im on day 8 and I feel almost like a new person. I don't have w/d symptoms and I crave it less and less. I found the cravings seem to come when I get anxiety/depression/boredom. I will only feel that way for a very short time then I am happy and forget about it, especially when my g/f is with me. Chills is the only real thing I may feel, but hey I live in Michigan and its nothing a warm sweater or cup of coffee won't take care of.
Everyday, I am more and more thankful for everyone's support and I am proud to say " I really don't need those pills anymore"..makes me wonder how the h*** I got into them in the first place. Gonna go snowmobiling today w/my girlfriend and am going to have a couple beers with the roommates tonight!

Cool, its nice to know I'm close to the exact time as someone else. I don't know how much/long you used for but I used 5-10 7.5's a day for about 8 months. When I went c/t, I experienced a lot of symptoms but for some reason, not too much RLS. Maybe because I ate bananas (potassium helps) and used the Thomas Recipe. I am extremely glad and fortunate to stop now and be still very young. My addiction could have got wayyy worse and could've ruined my life. If your ever feeling down, just simply tell yourself you saved your own life, because you really and literally did. Helps for me, congrats on day 8 as well!!!
Hi all I'm on day 8 too laughing my typing sucks but then I never said I was a typist I'm laughing now lol
(((((((((((((((CleanUp))))))))))) this is wonderful I am on * too but not in a happy situation so I think you are right I still have some RLS through out the day I am in a bad environment, and sis doen't really want me here. I have no place else to go right now. Yes she knows but in her alcohol fogged mind she doesnt care. Congrats on day 8 I feel much better too phisically Mentally not so good so it is calling me I have been ignoring it I do NOT want to take another pill as long as I live. It ruled my life.
8 days already! Seems like yesterday.
You'll probably notice that you can't handle the alcohol as easily sober. So take it slow, or it may be a short night.
Have fun!

I will be very careful with the sneaky cravings. Even though I may get cravings, I totally do not want to take any vicodin because of what I learned.
I will be careful w/the beers tonight. My g/f and I barely ever drink (especially for being in college) but when we do, its a nice social things, where we only keep it to a few. I personally have never liked consuming alcohol and the side effects of having too much.
Faithful, I totally know what you mean by keeping your mind busy with your spouse. It is the same here with my girlfriend. For example, yesterday when I kind of felt a little down and bored, we went to dinner and a movie ("the eye"-its scary) which was awesome, especially with me not being on the pills!
Now that I am sober all the time, I notice I think more clearly, appreciate things and love life as it is. I don't seem to take things for granted like I did on pills, especially my girlfriend. Our love for each other improves every day.

I am very very proud of you! Great Job...
Like the other post have said be careful, addiction IS sneaky and anxiety and depression can cause you to think back.... Dont go there!
My symptoms are always better when I am out and about with my husband, he always has something to talk about, keeps my mind busy!
Congratulations and careful with the booze tonight!

I WANNA GO SNOWMOBILING!!!!!!! That sounds like so much fun.
Congrats on day 8 !! Sounds like your doing really good. But be careful, the demon lurks around every corner, waiting to get you when you least expect it. Listen to everyone, watch those beers. Try to limit yourself cause it will lessen your resolve. You don't want to relapse over a few beers.
Stay strong. And enjoy the snowmobiling. I'm sooo jealous!!!

good morning and congrats on 8 days. listen to mary, careful with the beers. although i rarely drink i have completely stopped cause it always helped me to relapse. just be careful tonight bud, your doing great.
Congrat's on 8 days ! You sound great, but never let your guard down. This addiction can be so very sneaky. Be careful with the beers tonight, it can weaken your resolve. I'm not a goody-goody, I also love a beer, but I did find it gave me a ....what the hell...attitude. Be strong and stay safe. Mary
