day 6 today clean because of all of you. i have my life back

Pat how are you doing today?  Know that I'm thinking about you.
I went hunting yesterday with an old friend.
It was the best day of my life in so long.
Remembering old hunting and camping times.
In the woods through the snow. Yes it was very cold but it was so awesome.
I wanted to thank all of you. Pat, leaAnn, sarah, ibk, toothfairie, nolife, clean_in_ks, needinghelp, selfinduced.

Just to name a few.  thank you all.  
Going out again today. To smell the fresh air and see nature. Even if i freeze my ***** off.
It feels good.
Have a great day everyone.

Wow!  I happened to wake up around 3 and can't go back to sleep, and I'm so happy to see this. Ya know, you don't know how you have helped ME too.  For real!  People like you help me stay clean too.  I'm so proud of those 6 days for you.  One day at a time!  If you do some aftercare, I believe 100% that you can make it.  I really do!

Congrats!  : )

I have been a tramadol addict for almost 4 years now. I have been up to taking 15-20 pills a day for the last couple years now. I have finally decided ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I tried to start cold turkey, with my last pill being at 1 am on December 30th. I made it 19 hours before I failed that already and gave in. I don't think I am going to be able to go cold turkey because of how long I have been abusing the drug. Basically I am just looking for support and advice right now. I want to go cold turkey because I want this torture over as soon as possible but I think tapering is going to be the way I HAVE to go. I am sure everybody understand the hopelessness I feel right now...

No work for me. I sold both of my semi trucks, my trailer.
My motorcycle, my snow plow truck, my hot rod chevy truck. My beautiful 72 chevy monte carlo. My 71 gmc 1/2 shorty 4x4. It's all gone.
And it's was because i was hiding in my house. Not wanting to face the world. I didn't sell it all to buy pills. I had script for that.  
BUT NO MORE. I'll get back up. Can't stop me now.
:-). Wonderful day all.  
Heads up. Walk tall.

Thank you Pat.  Your energy will return.  We all are different.  But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
I'm pushing myself because i want this in the worst way. I have no choice.
I have to kick this in the a**.  
I've never been one to just sit idol. Always doing something.
And i think that will be my savour in this. Go go go. Until i can't go no more.
Then it will be done.
You my dear are doing wonderful. Your clean days you should be so proud of yourself. I know im proud of you.
Your a wonderful person. And I'm so happy you are clean. It would be a shame to waste,  you on those pills. Keep trucking along. The world is a beautiful place clean.  
Talk to you soon.  Have a great day everyone.

Day 9 here...energy is somewhat back today.  Hurray for small miracles at this point.   Have a super busy day with work.  It's better to get wore out doing something productive and fun and not needing a pill to tackle or recover from it now.  :)    Proud of you!!!

Ok. Ladies,   I'm crying cuz I'm laughing so hard.
You all are wonderful.  
I did get rid of the pill last night when i got home. Got tired of looking at it.  Lol.
It's funny i don't crave the pills at all don't even think about them all day.
Dirty little things.
Today is day 7 and i really feel good. Sleeping good. I hurt a little. But that could be from my heavy pack and bow.  Idk??
My memory's the pits.  But I'm guessing that will be the last to return.  If at all.
Ha ha ha.  Easy way out " i just don't remember that". Huh.. ha ha.
You guys are the best.
And leaAnn i was just in black rock, Pocahontas, AR last month.
You probably could have kicked me then.  
Have a great day. I gotta get some coffee in me. Then off to the great outdoors for me again.  
:-).

ROFLOL!!    This thread brought a huge smile and warmth to my heart.   Not, you have helped me stay strong by staying strong too!!     I was going to go do some Christmas stuff with my daughter and grandson yesterday, but she called and said she wasn't feeling well and I wasn't either.  I was going to push myself to get out and enjoy the day, but the crud took over and I got lazy.  LOL!    You sound amazing and I am truly thrilled for you.  Life is good after pills!   Any day with no pill is better than what we thought was our best day on them.  :)

LOL have you been contacted by the Grammy Award's producer.  You're GOOOOOOOOOOD!!

I don't have a song.......but I have a book.  It's a potty training one that has a button at the end that you push, and it's a flush that sounds like a sonic BOOOOOOOM!  I hid it from Maddie when I trained her.  I'd rather change dirty diapers than listen to that! LOL

If NOTORDINARY has a pill, you better flush.  I missed that part from early on or maybe forgot it? Listen up......(well, look at my typing!) you better flush that pill.  Don't make me come to WA.  From Arkansas, I won't be in a good mood when I get there!!!!!!! : )

Is there a flushing song??
I just can't think of one but that's cuz I'm sick.  When I feel better I will.

Flush that stinking pill
You think you have the will
You may wake up one day
and think it's time to play

That's all I've got right now.  Stay tuned lol
