norco divorce day 4

[perchance23]

I have my feet firmly planted in day 4. 73 hours into this and still fighting. That's 24 pills i didn't take. Its not easy but I am trying to stay positive.  Just took the meletonin and hope to sleep. I was so worried about sleep and keeping my hubby up I've been sleeping in the other bed but tonight I m gonna try to stick it out with lots of extra covers on my side. Has anyone gotten heartburn from the vitamins?  I never get it but feel it now. Sneezing is a joy. My body is waking up!  Thanks to all my.cheerleader.

One week. One big yeah for.me!  Still restless and the anxiety is hanging on. But im here and just taking each day as it.comes.

Almost one week. Awesome.
Keep yourself busy.keep moving around.
Your brain chemistry is healing and beginning to produce again.
Healthy eating.positive thoughts.
A marathon not a sprint
Keep the faith.
Get some sunshine.
One foot in front of the other
You are doing it.
Keep up the good work
Hugs and continued blessings
Debbie

[perchance23]

So glad I am reading posts. Someone warned me about the blahs after the initial detox. So glad. I am so antsy.

[perchance23]

That's great!  Its hard but worth it.  And exercise and vitamins are key. 5.5 days in and looking forward!  Head up and ready to go!  

[kitascloudy]

Hi perchance! Im a day behind you, wding off of norco too..I read the same post u did. However, some say exercise and vitamins will help. Im banking on it! It gives me something to think about other than..how long this yucky feeling will last. Ur post inspired me..so keep up the good work cuz ur helping me! Xoxo

[perchance23]

Day 5 in the books. Still moving forward. Feels great.

[perchance23]

In the last two days my mornings are worse than my afternoon. But both are managable and clean!

[snakejones]

I am delighted to hear that you are doing so well! Hang in there and post often--we'll be your lifeline.......

[perchance23]

Still going. Day 5. Some.anxiety but im managing.

[perchance23]

Im still.going over 100 hrs in. Like 108. But who is counting.   :)

[perchance23]

Thanks all. I have stuck to.my docs advice and worked with the pharmacy on my vitamins. I am tired but its a good tired. Going to try to sleep. Thanks.

Hi, just wanted to respond to your post. I go through the same things. And, honestly, I have accepted that I AM slightly OCD and also been diagnosed with Manic/depressive. It *****, cuase for me it the UPS that drive me to relapse. UGH, but I spoke with my doc and we are working on it. Stay with it, it always gets better.

[LeaAnn807]

Yes......and I have a perfect younger sister to share life with! LOL  I swear, lately I've started thinking that I'm kinda borderline OCD and ADD too.  I can't quit moving.  It's weird cause during WDs, I couldn't sit still.  Then felt like NO energy.  Then napping every day.  NOW.....I'm bouncing off the walls until nighttime and I'll literally DROP into bed!  I have a 9 year old and 3 year old (next month!) and so energy is a good thing!!! : )  But I'm already obsessing about halloween costumes and Maddie's birthday next month!  

Everything has to be PERFECT!!!!!!!! LOL  

[atthebeach]

You are going to be just fine
Happy.happy
Hugs and continued blessings

Hello Day five!  I am starting to turn the corner. The vitamins and such are kicking in. Riding it into day 5.
Glad someone understands the perfection complex. Are you a first born?

[LeaAnn807]

Ewwwwww.....I have that perfection thing going too!  It's wonderful that you're addressing it.  And eating will help you feel better.  I remember the first time I ate something besides a cracker during WD.  I really noticed a big difference!

I'm proud of you!  You're doing great!

[perchance23]

I have an appointment with my.previous counselor next week. I know what my triggers are. Stress. Perfection complex. Anxiety at work. And im gonna work with her to find other ways to address this. Yeah me!  
Oh and I made dinner tonight and ate almost all of it. I see the light. Anyone starting out its tough but manageable with suppliments and a good support team.

[LeaAnn807]

Hey, that's awesome!  Doesn't it feel good to know that the worst is behind you?  Now, you just have to figure out how to keep it from happening to you again!?  

[perchance23]

I sang to the radio on the way home. Felt great.

[perchance23]

I survived the training class! Woohoo. Even.learned a few things. Gonna head home.and take a walk. Some one said epson salt to replace the salt lost. Well I took that a different direction. I love sunflower seeds and they really got me thru the day. Helped with the anxierty too.
