Day 7 and things are great

I am now on day 7 with no vicodin.  Every day gets just a little easier, and I love how I don't need to make sure I have enough pills to get through work anymore.  I still have moments of restlessness and anxiety, but I'm getting my ambition back fast.  My energy is still lacking, but I started drinking coffee at work to help with that.  Otherwise, I'm starting to feel healthier and more clear-headed than I have in 4 years!!!  Can't wait until I can say I'm on day 30:)

Congrats on day 7! Sounds like you got a pretty easy ride, not that it is ever easy...
It is truly amazing when the opiate fog lifts and you see the world again, isn' it? The WDs were rough for me, but tolerable. Week 2 was a little crazier than I expected it be. Anxiety came in a big way, severe detachment, I had no clue what I was doing, just going through the motions. Very disorienting to me, but I managed to get through it. Just a heads up, if you start feeling like that, it is part of your healing. Keep up the good work, life is so much brighter and worth living without the dope.
