Day 9 Update

[angel44240]

Today is day 9 off of Tramadol.. (In case there are some out there that don't know the history here)
I slept 8 hours straight last night! Wooohoo! :D
Amazing enough, considering I haven't slept much at ALL since last Thursday (Jan.18th). I'm still a little worn down from the dramatic change that my body endured, but hey! I'm ME again! hehe.. maybe not completely 'normal' yet, but who's ever claimed I was 'normal' anyway? lol
We may go see a movie tonight- first time in YEARS since I've actually gone to the theater to see a good flick!
I'm taking Vitamin B complex and see if that'll make a difference in my energy levels.. I've been using B 12 and it doesn't seem to be enough..
Again, I wanna thank everyone here for your support, as it's alot more than what I ever thought I could receive! Love ya guys!

I agree with this:

There is something contagious about your personality. Thanks for sharing it with us all.

Hey you! I haven't heard from ya in forever! (actually maybe a few days, but I'm used to seeing ya post on here.. you're always VERY encouraging!)
How've you been?? Everything going okay? I read that you still have your appt., which is COOL AS HECK, but if I were you, I'd only take the suboxone for like a week or so, so that it won't create a habit forming ordeal.. BUT, then again.. I'm not quite familiar with it, so I'm not really one to talk.. lol.. I just hear about it and what people say and how long you should take it for w/ds.. What did they tell you?
Let me know how you are,k? Thanks so much for your encouragement guys! Love ya all!

Have you tried 5-hour energy?  It's loaded with B vitamins.  Caffeine also, though, so that could be a drawback...

[angel44240]

LoL.. women aren't smarter than men, and vice versa.. we're all just learning tools! :D.. hehehe
That's what I figured that the Vit.B complex was pretty a variety.. I took some this morning..
welp, kids are fighting and I'm a great candidate for Prozac! lol
Thanks guys!

I am so proud of you , the sleep really helps......... keep it up .... I remember that was the first thing i did when i got clean ...i had forgotten how fun a movie could be :)

[GoingToMakeIt]

I get the distinct impression that YOU will never be normal!:) :) :)
But we like how you are turning out!

B-Complex is a full array of the B vitamins. B 12 is just one vitamin. For a season, you can take a fair amount (3x/day) I wouldn't do that for months but maybe a month or so. Then cut to 1/day.

I will say it again. You light up this forum. There is something contagious about your personality. Thanks for sharing it with us all.

Alli that is so great. You have done awesome and I know your gonna continue. You've got a real good head on your shoulders. Even if you are a woman. ooopps did I say that out loud. Oh no I'm gonna get killed for that one. LOL
Who am I kidding we all know women are smarter than men.

Good job. Sobriey is truely a beutiful thing, isn't it?

[angel44240]

I'm honored to be surrounded by NA sponsors and recovering addicts with over 4 years or more clean.. I feel very privileged to have that because I couldn't get so lucky! lol.. Especially being HERE..
You'll see me posting in my journal from time to time, and especially posting to help everyone else out, which is definitely something I want to do- give back what I've received in my recovery all of these years..
Hey- I do have a question however, how much vitamin B can you take? I have Vit. B complex and 12.. not quite sure what the difference is.. never really educated myself when it came to vit. B.. lol

[Clamity2]

That's great Alli!!!  Keep up the good work. If you get a moment that you want to use again. Come here. Pray and remember how much better life is without it.
