Day 4 off tramadol :-)

ahhh monday......today is a different kind of monday though....for me its day four off tramadol, with one pill still in the bottle. Not exactly certain as to why i have kept it....thought maybe i might need to break it and take crumbs if things got bad, maybe just to test my strength....who knows. I know ive already said it, probably ten times, but i love looking in the mirror and seeing my eyes look the way they are supposed to look!  Happy monday to all my a
Incredible supportive friends here :-)   s

Oh! I should post this in a thread...maybe I will...I have been blending up smoothies four or five times every day....bananas (extra bananas :-)), blueberries, yogurt, strawberries, flax, and spinach....I know how it sounds, but really its yummy...packed full of vitamins, and good energy!

Take charge of your life, call and cancel that refill.  That is your right.

Let yourself feel your emotions, that is a good thing!!

Deal! Its so strange, feeling norma, feeling at all really. I must say, now that i can feel, i have been quite emotional, lol crying at every movie, most responses ive had here bring me to tears, but i think i am ok with that! Feels good to feel again:-) The sole surviving little devil pill....not sure why i kept it, other than "in case" or as a test of some sort. I do believe that my mind set has changed....this time im not just wd'ing til my refil is due, this time i want it more than anything. I cant say enough about the gabapentin as well. It has been my saviour, helping so much with the wd, anxiety, everything. I just got in....ive been outside with my horses all morning, to tne grocery store, and im happy, smiling even....alot! So, i guess part mind is a very powerful weapon, part gabapentin, and obviously all of you here and your tremendous support, care, and kind words! I aplogize if im overdoing it, but im just happy, and pretty darn proud!!! Thank you so so much. True test will be on refil day....my gabapentin is due the same time....the challenge is ahead of me still.....

Go Shauna!!!! I knew you could do this honey!!! It's so great to hear you say you like you without the poison. That's all it is girl. It's poison. Eats away at your mind, body, & soul. It's day 10 & I'm so happy Ive made it here. I never want to go back. We will all move forward together, no back tracking. Deal?

whoot whoot...im so proud of you....and still have that one in the bottle...please flush it. you don't need that poison around. why do you keep it? do you like to look at it to feel stronger ? i did that with an oxycontin....but then i ate it. so i get the theory but it worries me too...im so proud of you...four days. don't loose progress now...or what id say...feet don't fail me now...you got a golden star too....im so proud. victory dance.

Wow!  That is awesome!  Day 4 for tramadol can be a turn around day.  I'm so glad you feel so good.  I think by day 4 I was still feeling pretty nasty! Day 5 got better for me though! Attitude helps so much!  And you have a great one!!!!
