What a LONG day.. and LONG night at work!!
Good evening all!!
Tomorrow will be day 8!! Yay!!
Figured I would start out on a positive note... since I consider this whole process to be an overall positive one.
That being said, TODAY SUCKED!!! Fatigue like crazy, yet no sleep :( Work tonight was really rough; I was simply exhausted!! Yesterday rocked though, so I will take the good days when I get them :)
I can honestly say I feel strong in this recovery. I think cold turkey was the way to go for me because if I am sure about anything (at least at this moment!), it is that I don't ever want to get those withdrawal symptoms again!! I want day 8 to turn into day 800 eventually!! I have a long, promising, and most importantly HEALTHY life ahead of me!! Hoping for some sleep now, and hoping tomorrow (it is going to be a BEAUTIFUL day!! Excited!!) is going to be another good day!! Say a prayer for me!!

it's great when we discover the life we can have without the worries of the "pills". I never forget how was my life with them and even the worst moments without them are much, much better .
you are doing great , mo , keep your attitude and enjoy the weekend with your son being clean of this slavery addiction and enjoy your shopping :)

Maybe I will buy myself a new pair of shoes or something today!! It is so nice to use the money I made last night on something other than pills!!
Good Morning all!!
Thank you for your well wishes.. it means a LOT to me :)
Last night was REALLY rough, until I gave in and took an Advil PM at 4 this morning. Then I got 5 SOLID hours of sleep!! I feel GREAT today!!
I am actually taking my son to breakfast then down to the waterfront to look at boats, "just because." I don't remember the last time I did this or even had the urge to do something like this!! It's awesome! I don't have to worry about if I have enough pills to get through the day!! SOOOO refreshing!!
It's gorgeous outside which helps as well!! It has been a rough 8 days, but SO worth it!! For those just starting out this weekend, know that exactly one week ago I was where you are at!! Curled up on my sofa!! It DOES get better if you see this through!! I hope all who are tinkering with the idea of quitting the demon pills stick to it and pull through!!
