day 6..can't believe it

[bray123]

its already day 6...i can't believe it! I couldn't really see myself getting this far. Energy is still low...but its getting better. There are times when I feel really good and have energy..other times when I still feel like **** and don't wanna move. But all of the other symptoms are gone and I'm thankful I have made it through the worst of it. I'm still at the beach...will be leaving day after tomorrow. I'm having a lot of anxiety about going back home. It's easy at the beach because I can't get my hands on anything. The true test is when I get back home. I know there will be a lot of temptation. My heart goes out to everyone who is going thru w/d's while working and with connections still close by. I don't think I could have done this without being away for a few days.I'm glad I found this site because it really does give me strength to know that so many of us are struggling with the same thing. And to know that there are those who have made it through this. God Bless

Congrats on day 6. That's something to be tremendously proud of!!! I noticed it felt so nice just being outside when I was out pruning the bushes today(which by the way I butcher my bushes) Don't know why but I keep thinking oh just a little more, oops need to make this side the same, oh there's a spot...LOL I can't help myself...somebody take the shears out of my hands!!! Sending lots of energy dust your way:-)

Great job day 6...detox at the beach,,,now theres a good idea.

While you're still vulnerable I would really try to change your number or delete people..I think you know what to do..... When you're mentally/spiritually fit temptation will be a thing of the past. For now cut off everyone.

I changed my number, which got rid of the connections plus a few fair weather friends as well..

You're doing good...keep it up..we love a sucess story....thats why we're here.

great job on 6 days and it only gets better!  Cut ALL ties with your DOC, doctors, dealers, friends, whatever and wherever you can get them cut it off now before you go back.  Our minds love to play wicked tricks on us and your brain will feed you lies that you need it or just one all that crap, so prepare yourself now that you are feeling strong.  We have good days and bad days and you want to be prepared for anything.  Now comes the challenge of heading home and dealing with the mental part of addiction, do you have some sort of aftercare lined up?  I know now you are feeling good and strong and might even think you got this under control, i just want you to prepare yourself for when that trigger comes and you are prepared.  Best of luck to you.

Congratulations on 6 days!! Ita not easy, but doable, as time passes you'll find your fog with get less, and your brain can actually function, properly without those little devils!!  
Your temptation and anxiety might be a little greater when you get home, hopefully your source to all meds and ties to sources and so ion have already been severed, if not do it now,, your mind might say you can have just one, you deserve it.. Lie! Don't listen!.. Keep it going, only great days ahead... Enjoy the rest of your vacation, one for the books right?
