hey guys

188 days here. Can't believe it. Haven't been on in awhile.  Finally got a job. Just trying to work through the mess I have made of my life. It has taken me years to get to this point in my life. Heck I don't know why I waited so long.  
But I am really happy now. It's nice to be able to go to work and not have to worry about a pill.  Will write more later gotta get to work.

Thanks everyone.
It took awhile to get my energy.  I was ok after the first few weeks but not 100%.
I still have days I'm tired but I'm 53 so that doesn't help.
but its so nice to go to work and not have to find a pill first.
I promise, it seems like you'll never get through this but trust me you will. I have been on this site 4 years and it took me until may of this year to get clean. You just gotta want it.
hugs to all.

Neveragain, YES, physically I feel "normal." (I'm almost 5 months.) I've felt physically fine for quite a while, too. It really depends on health, intensity of usage blah blah etc.
