Day 7..still dexoting
Day 7 clean and still no energy. Sneezing,headache,bowel problems, gurgling stomach. geez when will this end. I have been on 10 mg Percs for the past few years for pain mgmnt. Thought I might try sobriety. Still have pain, but hopeful. The brain is the craziest tho. I can get a refill this Thurs. But, getting tired of living this way. This *****! I even looked on Craig's list today to score. Too much of a baby to try it though. Ideas? Joey
I hope today is better. Managed to sleep 7 hours with just taking a melatonin supplement last night. Still having some wd's but not as bad. Still not taking anything for pain. See how it goes at work. Hoping that turn in the corner is coming VERY soon..sure don't want to wreck.
i read from couple people's post here that whey protein is good to help heal the brain...idk...i drink one a day like i said earlier....maybe try muscle milk...heard it was good for energy too....just ibuprofen or tylenol for the pain?? good luck at work tmrw!
I would give the carnation a try but heck to the no ...on the ensure. Now what can I drink to cure my f'ed up mind? Head back to work in the morning. The pain is going to make it hard. Will see how it goes..dunno.
So glad you went to the party and saw your old friend . . . . 25 years sober is pretty impressive and inspiring (& pretty great timing to see him!).
On to day 9!!! It will get better - one day at a time. The Carnation and Boost and Ensure drinks are great suggestions to keep your energy up. You really do need to remember to take care of yourself even if your not feeling like eating/drinking. You are doing great . . . keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

You are doing great. I know how hard the lack of energy is. I couldn't even lift my arms to wash my hair when I took a shower. It was shocking and really upsetting.
Carnation Instant Breakfasts really helped me. Also, Boosts and ensures but I really liked the Carnation. They are full of vitamins and nutrients and taste so good.
I took Vitamins as well. Your energy will come back but it does take time. You don't want to lose the time you have already put in. Keep fighting.
