8 days clean

[tnlovesjd]

i everyone. I dont know if im doing this site right because everytime i post i barely get a response if one at all. I look at other peoples posts and they always get a lot of people to respond. Ok, anyways today is 8 days without any pills and its getting hard. I've been back to work since last friday which is good, but i cant get my energy up. Naturally that is. What can i do, i take all my vitamins everyday. I make sure every night to exercise. I walk a mile with my daughter each day. We even run, and nothing. What does it take to feel good, not only physical but mentally too. I have days where i feel good and i can concour all, then i have days like today where i feel horrible and want to give up everything just to swallow a pill and feel good, i wont this time because i dont want to endure that horrible withdrawl again. I must admit at times i day dream about a bottle of pills, i dream at night too and the whole night im chasing pills in my sleep. Please help, i feel so weak. By the way, today is my first day off since i've been back to work and i feel so bored out of my mind. The only thoughts are of pills,

I echo what addict3 said and would add that you can look on the Thomas recipe for the natural things you can take for energy. It is about 30 days to normal but it will progress daily. Best to you. Don"t give in, the pills are evil.  Time is the answer.

Congrats on your 8 days! Stay with it.
It is good you are moving about.
Exercise and a good diet will go along way in getting you back to normal.
The biggest thing you need now is TIME it will come back but it takes a little bit.
Have you considered any after care? That will help also.
I recall my 8th day...it felt like it was day 2 or 3 again! Hang in there it will get better with time I promise.

I had my first dream about the pills last night!  When I work up I went...ahh, it was a dream good!  I am in day 16 and having a bad day as well.  I do believe it will get better.  I am bored and trying to stay sane.  I know it gets better, I just have to be patient.  I hope you can too.

        This is withdrawals from the pills.  They will make you feel bad because your system depends on the drugs.  When you take the drug a way then it goes into a panic mood.  This is only temporary but you will have the pain you are talking about.  Your still working so dont run yourself down with to much exercise B 12 is for energy you might try.  Keep up the good work.
