Day 15!!!!!!

[Lovemomof2]

I am finally starting to feel like I am FREE! Today I felt better than I have in a long long time. I have been really struggling with my energy but felt like I could push through it better today. For the past 2 weeks, I have felt as if I am literally walking through mud with my entire body aching but today was better. I was able to go to the grocery sore with my 2 little kids, take them to play, came home and cleaned, and put something in the crock pot for dinner. I wanted to share because I NEVER would be able to do all of those things while I was taking pills. Sure it would give me energy for a bit (one of the reasons I liked pills), but it DOES not work like that....you have to take them every few hours and we all know how that goes. I am just so happy to be me again and all of the things I thought I would never be able to do without pills...I CAN and I am starting to feel good about myself again. Also, I am very slowly starting to enjoy things I cast off while taking pills. My interests like reading. Anyway, I would not be here without all of your support. I have been on this site numerous times a day reading posts, not always commenting. I just want to give back some hope to those that are trying or in the process of getting off these pills. It is so worth it.

Oh Im used to not sleeping and looking like a zombie now! hahaha Im almost to day 60 and I have slept maybe 20 GOOD days in this time! Yuck! But thats ok, because I know eventually I will sleep so I just hold out hope :)

I will try extra c, thank you! :) Yea, the sleep think is weird. I had been SO tired and sleeping pretty good. I have been knocking myself out though with trazadone. Last night though I just felt better and then of course wide awake. I hope tonight is better. I hope you get better rest too!!!

Sorry your sick, It can definitely s*ck when your going through this AND get sick on top of it! Like a double whammy! haha Your immune system is all out of whack right now. I take Vitamin C every day and it has really helped me to boost my immune system some. Just a thought? And the sleep thing, Well, It still stinks for me so I wont talk about that! :)

Anyways, Hope you feel better and Heres to Day 15 for ya!

Thank you everyone. :) Didn't get much sleep last night and now I have a cold cough bug, but going to make it through. It is so nice to have support. Thanks again.

Awesome!  I'm so happy that you're doing well now.  It's amazing what two weeks will do.  This post would have given me a lot of hope if I was starting out! : ) Congrats!

You sound great.

Congrats on day 15!!! Day 15 was such a HUGE turning point for me. Thats exactly when i started to really enjoy things again. i actually went to a movie right around that time and I laughed so hard and it felt so good to laugh like that, without pills! Getting back to the things you enjoy will be such a huge motivator to stay clean!

Good good job! Cant wait to see your 30 day post! :)

Another thing that helped. I went to a women's AA meeting on Sunday. I was probably given 5 hugs, given chocolate, and listening to others helped so much. I have a long way to go, but getting there.
