For those goin thru withdrawls or r planning on quiting soon....

[ang_811]

I'm here to tell evryone who Is going thru withdrals or plan on quiting ur drug of choice it is so worth it. I'm at 35 days today and don't remeber ever being this happy n my life. I feel like I wen thru the hardest thing ( my addiction ) and came out stronger then ever. I was so weak against the pills and methadone. My addiction made me weak but at the same time if it wasn't for my addiction I wouldn't be who I am today. I'm alot stronger then I have ever been and I have a great positive attitude goine on. I do my best to try and turn the negatives into posiives. No matter what the situation is.   So if neone is having a hard time and think there is no other way out I'm here to tell it gets so much better. I was def a lost cause for awhile but I made it out with a brand new life and a sober life. If ur going thru withdrawls just know that it gets so much better. I promise. U might not feel like it will but is going to be better then u could imagine. I'm actually doing things I haven't done in years. I'm actually living my life again. So good luck to everyone out there. Once again I'm living proof that I don't have to live in ur addiction for the rest of ur life.

I'm on a natural high when I think about how many days I have clean. I never imagined I would ever make it this far.... Good luck with the taper and know it will get alot better for ya. Remember when u feel the Withdrawls it's only ur body getting the drugs out and ur just that much mor closer to having ur life back. Think about what u used to be like and focus on getting that old u back. Good luck again

Thank you for the words of encouragement.  I am tapering right now, getting off Vicodin, and it's hard for me to imagine 35 days clean from it.

I'm fortunate that I'm able to taper and have my husband's support, but I am "feeling" it, some withdrawals.  I'm going to taper as slow as I can with what I have left, and then take that leap.

It helps to  hear from someone who has recently done it, and whose life has gotten so much better.

Thank you.

I defintly know I have to keep my guard up. Working where I do I came to that harsh reality. We can never take sobriety for granted. It takes hard work every single day..... Thanks again for the support.
