I'm doing good. I do have my moments and when i start feeling that way or thinking of them i get up and find something to do. I have a lot of support behind me also i'm 24 and i just left my husband and moved back in my parents house and they knew i had a problem and everyday they tell me how proud they are and i know that might sound cheesy but it really does help. Also talking to you helps me, we are going thru the same thing and i feel like i have came so far, a week with no pills is long when you take as many as i did, and to tell somebody who is just starting it that it will get better encourages me to keep it up. At night it sucks sometimes its 4 before i actually fall asleep i will toss and turn all nite, My arms hurt more than anything. Physically... it is rough no lie but my kids seeing me sober for the first time means everything. I still have aches but tylenol does help. I'm not a very religious person but i really have started praying a lot to make me strong to get thru this. Mentally... saturday at work i broke down couldn't stop crying and couldn't pull myself together but i made it thru the  day. I'm so happy to say i'm proud of myself. Pride is everything. Do this for yourself so you can quit watching the clock for the next pill. I promise you feel so much better because your not lying to everyone or yourself anymore and it just makes it easier. Let me know how you are doing, Please keep in touch

I'm curious how you are doing now.  It appears you are holding it together.  What are you doing for the w/d?  I know keeping busy is a great idea.  Just wondered what you do at night before bed.  I get so restless and my shoulders, for some reason, ache like ****.  What are you doing? Did you try the thomas recipe?  Anything else?  How is it going physically vs. mentally?  I wish you luck.
