I just got back from a nice 2 mile jog on the beach and chest/bi workout. Stopped and picked up amino acids to go with my multi vitamins and protein shakes. I hit my 24 hour mark just now! Got a small glass of whiskey...dont worry dont drink that much. Had a fake id since I was 14 so been there done that. I am still young, with a career and gorgeous fiance. I have lots of friends and a very loving mother and brothers. With all that I was very depressed....and I realized it was the pills. I will let yall know how I feel over the weekend. Although like the past 4 times its always the mental that gets me. I got 7-10 days think my system clean and take one a day. Then 2 a day then, well, you know the story.
Thanks

Hey Buck...just so you know, exercise is what kept me on track after a 5 year run with the meds.  I'm in my 40s so my exercise goals was to regain my strength from my 20s...I'm pretty close and have a six pack again.  By concentrating on those goals, I was able to forget about the meds...almost 11 months now...

Keep exercising and if you start to feel down, exercise some more.  There were times I exercised 3x in one day...cardio, weights, cardio, etc...

You can get over this hump...

Stay Cool...

Well bucksfan ......just think about me up here trying to even take a 2 minute walk in zero temps with snowflakes swirling when my heart is scuba diving a coral reef and looking for de crayfish and moby grouper - - - count your blessings and then live them without the pills.   I am pretty sure that you will be able to - - - - -

Lortab, Vicoding any type of opiate. Thanks for the post. I am hoping I can stay positive and be ready for sober work and life by next week.
