Day 10, NO PILLS:)

[akitagurl12]

I am really starting to feel better, more and more everyday.  Yesterday I hung out with a friend, (who had no idea I had relapsed and was back on the vicodin) tell me I seemed different, I was in a good mood. :)  I thought that was cool because it was true and it was nice for someone to acknowledge the change in me.  His comment also reminded me how nuts those pills made me.  Even thought I told myself they made me high when I took them, they really just caused me to become mean and annoyed towards everything and everyone. Something I didn't consider before was how this addiction has affected those around me, especially those who had no idea i was on anything.  Guess this is the part where I should start making amends.....

I am on day 3 of no xanax too!!! :)  I was taking it unprescribed so really not in a position to taper like it was suggested. I got down as low as I could before I had to come clean to the person i was taking them from. I guess no longer being high on vicodin gave me a conscious. I didn't want to really encourage anyone else to stop xanax cold turkey because of the reported dangers associated with it, but for me, it was the best thing i could do.  2 days of feeling weird- (depression, nerve pain and dizziness) but today i feel much better.  Thank you so much for everyone's continued support!  It is so awesome!
