Day 10

[MikeInFrance]

I can't say I feel good,  unless I lie..... It used to be that I always felt good, when I was high.  Now I have reached Day 10, of no drugs at all....I know this route is best, although I do fear a fall.  I take it one hour to the next, no giant leaps...the one thing killing me, is the lack of sleep.  So today here's the plan, of what I'll do....I'll push myself to get out, try to shake this feeling of blue.  
I'm most scared of the if's,  rather than the facts....one thing is sure, it's I can never fall back!

it only gets better before it gets any worse. the larger the numbers of days for your sobriety become, the easier it WILL get for you. keep the positive attitude, and like you mentioned, try to get outside as much as you can. don't overdo it or anything - but just try to do something outside. even if it just means to get out of the house and go for a ride.

i now one thing that i did when i was going through what you are, is i went for a ride and absolutely blared the music in my car. for some reason, it felt a little more liberating than i thought that it would. but was totally worth it.

Hi Mike...
Listen...You are going to have good days and rough days...Learning to cope with life after the pills is a journey.  Recovery is accumulative and if you keep taking small steps towards it, I promise life is a beautiful place through sober eyes.  Putting down the pills and detoxing is just the first (and very brave) step towards reclaiming your life.  Have you thought about aftercare?

If I lay perfectly still for a few minutes on the bed (when possible) I feel ok. The moment I move I die! Just someone please answer me this.....am I truly past the worst? Is it only getting better from day 10? Honestly!
