no wd i'm impressed

[JayFive]

so i've been up and down the opiate latter/game for about 5 years. have done many different opiates, mostly as a patient for pain. then abused it, we all know the story.

anyway, i'm on 36hrs of nothing and feel great. i mean, no withdrawal besides a little rls. don't get me wrong, today was a battle. i had to go to class, then to work. both are very easy besides work being work. i'm a waiter, and tonight was busy. i had on average 7 tables of 4 at one time, all requesting many things. I just prayed, meditated, and helped others when i ever i felt the urge to sulk or tell someone i was feeling bad.

i'm really impressed because simply put, God is good. He is so great. I have prayed and prayed this week.
If you are not a believer in God i'm not trying to push my faith, just share my joy. :)
tomorrow, i start again, yet i don't think i'll get much sleep. i've taken some benedryl and my mind is racing. haha.

if you are worried about the withdrawal just don't. the fact is, whether you worry about it or not it will still come. but if you don't worry and stay positive i believe you then have a greater chance of producing some much needed endorphins like serotonin and dopamine. also, you can ride the wave of the fight itself. it becomes you vs. the w/d. and no way can we give up now. we have made it this far.

thanks! everyone is so positive! i think we should carry this through in our interaction with people in public. just imagine, former addicts leading the way in kindness in a society that so desperately has a thirst for it.

God Bless you all.

It is so true, I turned everything over to God this time, and i'm so glad i did! It's made this a way easier time!

my friends used to laugh at me when i would tell them how much of a role God as well as prayer helped in my recovery. then some of them tried it for themselves, and couldn't be better!
