4-5 days in off oxycontin...feeling GREAT!

[mychalupa]

Hello all, I just wanted to stop in this morning and let you know that I am feeling good. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever make it this far! I am proud! Very very proud! I know this is only the beginning of a lifetime battle but i am proud with where I have brougt myself so far! I was lying, stealing, spending money that coulda went to my kids and I am sick of it! I feel so good today, I feel better then on a day using 2 or more 80's. My skin is glowing and I am happy! The first 2-3 days were pure hell but as the saying goes it does get better. Goung through it it is hard and is hard to believe you will ever feel bettter. You feel alone, guilty and ashamed and feel that the feeling will not go away. It does go away and I am proof! Push through those first few days...the excrutiating pain is worth it, almost rewarding.
I truly thank this forum for such great support.I will continue to come here and continue my journey to sobriety.This has been completely life changing....so far.

Thank you, I am going into town today so this will be the test for me. I feel confident I will not use, I have no desire to go through what I did a few days ago. I know I will have up and down days but am thankful for this up day. I am smiling and my skin looks great! i actually can stand to look at myself!
Thanks so much and I will reply later tonight when I get back.
Thank you again!!!
