day 5 nervous for the future

I am feeling pretty good today. I didnt think i would feel this optimistic.. i actually feel like i can head to work tomorrow and just do it. I sure know the cravings will set in soon. I worry i wont handle it very well. But i will be here and hope you can all talk me out of it like you did yesterday. And if i dont post. I have turn to the other side and maybe i will shamfully crawl back for round 500.  Need toms of prayers for this week ahead! Thanks again everyone!

Well there ya go.  Sounds like a 110% commitment to me.  I'm a firm believer of living in the moment when we're going through this.  Don't look too far ahead.  Not even until tomorrow.  It will be here soon enough.  Be proud of you right here and now.  And then tomorrow?  We'll hold you strong again.

And keep your expecatations for tomorrow kind of low - I know that might sound strange but if you start out thinking it will be a great day and it's not that feeling of disappointment can trip you up.  Remember ONE day at a time is the best way to get through this.  It's so much easier to think how you're not going to use today as opposed to forever.  Totally doable when you think about it like that.

Good luck to you!

Kme, I am on Day 10 and feel better than I can remember. You are VERY close to turning the corner. STAY STRONG. I really had the moment on day 7, when some pills were right in front of me, yet I did not want them. I just see an entrance to a road to hell and oblivion with the thought of taking another opiate. Day 6 at work may be a bit tough , but you CAN do this!! Day 7 is so CLOSE!! Endure!!
