Off Lortabs for 6 weeks now :)

I have not been on here for a while.  We got through our move and are back on a schedule....ish.  Lol.  I have not had a Lortab in over 6 weeks and I am SO HAPPY I decided to do this!  Life has been amazing sober!  I do not have any withdrawal symptoms anymore.  I feel everything (the good and the ugly but hey I will take it).  I get excited about things I have not been excited for in a long time.  I cry and hurt about things I have not been able to feel in a long time.  There are still days that I sit there and think "If I had one I could take it and feel a lot better" but quickly remember where I was and where I do not want to be again.  

For anyone trying to get off these just know it is 100% worth it!  I LOVE that I am not thinking, counting or worrying about having enough pills to get through the day.  I love that it is not on my mind 24/7.  I love not waking up and a Lortab being the first thing on my mind.  I love the freedom I have!  

Once you get away from the pills you start to realize that there were never chains on your wrists keeping you hooked to the pills.  You look down and realize you were holding on to the chains the entire time and you just had to let them go!  It is SO WORTH IT!  Be encouraged!  You CAN do this and you WILL!  Be blessed!!

Congratulations on your 6 weeks clean!! That is great. So glad to hear that you got all moved and somewhat settled. I know all too well how stressful moving can be! Keep up your hard work and know that things will just continue to get better and better.
