day 6 no norco/hydro and going great

[feeldown28]

Oh my how glad I am that I am almost at that 7 day marker!!  I made it into work and ate all day long lol I am going to be putting on quite a few pounds! But overall my physical part is over besides the restless leg and fatigue. I am home cooking dinner and starting to clean. I have found it comforting and relaxing to crank the radio up and get things done!! I am so proud of myself and could not have a better support system then you all!!  I swear I would buy hundreds of stocks into this sight and forum if possible LOL no other place has ever helped me like this forum and that is a true story!!

Feeldown starting to feel UP, great job. I'm one day ahead of you so come catch me. I returned to work today after having hell week off for vacation. Immediately the thoughts of false energy from the demon pills, plagued me. I can't wait until week 2, 3, and four to leave those little bass turds in our rearview mirror.
Proud of ya.
Bones

Well good to see u made day 7 a week a big deal now the hard part don't let your mind play tricks on you so stay strong and hang on there

You are so right one week is HUGE to us :) I do not understand how we were able to allow ourself to ponder over those pills and really think they are what gave us our energy and will to go. My house is more clean then ever now and my emotions are the best they have been in years. I am having less mood swings now that I am clean then when I was using all day every day!! And best part having the money we would have spent on pills!! I am going to keep praying and keep busy with the kids. I have tried numerous times to quit and could only make it a couple days and at most 5 days but this time the wd was not that bad and I swear it is because it was gods will and this was supposed to be my time to quit ;)

Day 7 is magic; a week without meds, something that none of us thought possible while in the hell of detox. Early congrats. You deserve to feel good, be proud.
Now comes the day to day part of the journey - staying clean. Be careful of the mental side of recovery. Pay attention to the triggers, get involved in some sort of aftercare. You know the drill. Way to go.
