Day six begins

[Mcr2001]

So I realized that with when I stopped I am actually on day 5 and a half but I'm gonna promote myself to day 6.  Insomnia last night for a bit...anxiety was and still is bad but it's better than feeling like a walking corpse.  I took half a xanax hopefully that don't sap the little bit of energy I have.  But I do see normalcy returning slowly and I'm liking it.  I am estimating by day 10 or so I will feel worlds better...so 2 days of work and a weekend to go.  Will let you all know how my day went tonight.  Thanx for caring

I am not taking it for granted and will likely be tired tonight. Who knows how my sleep will be once I stop the ambien which I want to be very soon. Everyone on this site is amazing and supportive. I know on Day 2 I had to go out and I remember thinking I wonder how many people in this world are also on Day 2 and feeling awful! I imagine addiction in the US and Canada is huge. What a nightmere ....hopefully will be over soon. I read all the posts and know it is possible

Excellent job...You'll start feeling bits of normal here and there, then as the days pass, normal will be the norm; you won't hardly think about it.
Keep it up; you're doing great.

That's great that you're feeling better today.  I just want to give you a heads-up that you might continue to have bad days so don't let it throw you okay?  It's just part of the process.

But still important to appreciate those good days when they happen!  :)

You are on the same day as me. Day 6 today. And I feel so much better than yesterday it is unreal. Maybe my little prayer helped. I want to continue this journey and get high on life. Be able to cook, exersise, work and just live a life without worrying I might run out of pills. I am not sure what to do about aftercare. I might see if I can find something at work to help me...employee services. I feel that today is a test as yesterday I couldn't even lift my arms I was so tired but today I walked to work?!?  Well hopefully this will last and I am past the worst!

Congrats on day 6...over the worst part but dealing with the mental part can be hard...everything you are feeling is normal and will go away.  Try a short walk if it s not too hot where you are.   Helps calm the jitters.  Hang in there...you soon will feel normal :)

Congrats on day 6 your doing a fantastic job. The anxiety will become less and less everyday so don't seat it. So Keep on Keepin on. God Bless---Rick

Then day 6 it is!!!! CONGRATS ON THAT! As far as the anxiety goes, I played a little  head game with myself. I told my body the jitters were no different than when I first fell in love and we all handled that feeling fine than.....So this anxiety will soften with each day clean. Go easy on the xanax though. You defiantly don't want to have to kick that when these rain deer games are done. Keep up the great work.
