Day 10 -Reached the double digits

[tavia14]

Hi All- Day 10 and I am feeling the light AAAAHHH! Slept 6 hours last night with no help!! Did not take one single pill of any sort :)..gotta say it felt good :). Tossed and turned a bit but nothing like the past 8 nights!!! Time to hop on the treadmill for a brief run to get started and then off to my duties! I have to thank GOD and all of you for helping me get so far. It;s so funny last time I quit during my detox I would think of when it would be that I could use pills again. How could I think of a next surgery to take place maybe I could hurt myself then I would need them legit ( sick I know) this time (last night) i was thinking I will never, ever take a pill again...I was scared geez what if I ever get hurt I must scream from the top of my lungs I am a drug addict always have been always will ( well now a recovering one :) ) try every alternative before you give me any narcotics!! Geez what a difference. I got this! It will be a fight forever but I will master it. we all will. And for everyone just starting it does get better I PROMISE!!!

Yay Tavia! We did it girl! I am on day 11 and also am finally feeling good today.... Slept well, took a bath, just because they feel so good, and now I'm tackling a bit of school work before my baby girl comes home. I felt so bad when she left last week I was on day 2 and couldn't lift my head to say goodbye. I knew in my heart that I would feel better by the time she came home and.... I DO!!!!! We are clean! I will never touch those things again either.... you know, I felt the same things about getting hurt someday.... I will do whatever I can tho, won't take narcotics no matter what. They are the devil! We made it through the physical crap.... now we have to figure out how to fix the inside.... Right now, this forum is my support group.... I want to find something more "regular" but I don't know yet what to do. I have no time, no $ and nobody knows the hell I just went through. I know I will figure it out though..... I can do anything! I'm clean!  Yay me!

Thats Great!!!!!

Another story of someone running on day 10, I love it.  Keep up the good work and don't let your guard down.  It will likely test you eventually but that is expected and it gives you an opportunity to affirm your decision to stop in the first place.  Be vigilant, be prepared, and do it one day at a time.  Of course, let us know if it does come knocking on the door as everyone on here can likely tell you a story of the first or last time they looked at a dealer or a doctor and said:

No thanks, I don't need those.
