Congrats on deciding to get your life back! Way to go on 4 days! You are so close to the downhill side of the worst of the physical withdrawals. It's not a easy ride but not impossible either. I found the hardest part is gathering up the courage to finally start the whole process and you are well past that. I have been through them a few times and have found out from past experiences that when you exercise it speeds up the whole process. It helps the sleep pattern return a little faster also. Have you checked in to the amino acid protocol? You can find that on the right hand of the page under the "health pages". It lists some vitamins and supplements that help our bodies heal a little faster from the abuse of the pills. Another thing that helps so much is getting on here and reading, posting, and answering others posts. It helps gives that extra motivation knowing we are helping other people. There are some wonderful people on here that do not judge and have been in the exact same position.
I'm so sorry about you losing your husband. I lost my sister a few years ago and that was and is very difficult. I pray that you have found peace.
Just keep going strong and know that with this forum you are not alone. We will help you every step of the way. If you have any questions, need someone to talk to, or just need to vent, please let me know! Best of luck and you will be in my prayers!

I have heard of others taking it and it works for some.. It also may not do much and you will find yourself awake and drugged.. If you have some tea a hot bath then a heating pad or blanket with maybe a Advil or Motrin.. this may help.. trouble sleeping is the last of the symptoms.. I had bought at the drug store Valerian root it is natural relives anxiety and just mellows you add a melatonin this may let you get a few hours.. I would try the Hot bath myself first. I once tried a sleeping aid like unisom.. turned into a linda blair impersonator lol they still sit in the cabinet never to be touched again..

You will be amazed at the freedom we have and the desire that returns to travel and just get out !! Every morning I get up I'm so grateful I do not need to take a pill to feel normal.. not just happy but to feel normal.. what you are going through now is so so worth it.. I'm so very Happy you found us and when we reach out to others with support we help ourselves.. it is a win win situation. I'm so pleased you are doing this now while your child is young. I'm a long time addict and I have fuzzy memories of my children's upbringing.. not all of them but enough to wish I had done as you. so congrats again this is the best gift you can give to your child and yourself..

I'm very sorry for the loss of your Husband.. I'm very pleased for you that you have decided to take your life back and join it.. Your child needs you and when we are clean we begin to Heal.. Grief counseling may not be a bad idea as we experience a lot of stuff emotionally as we recover.. I really do wish you the very best and I agree prayer does wonders..  I hope you decide to stay as this is a great support group :)
