day 20 and still making it

[solost170]

well here I sit and day twenty is here. and even thou I still deal with the pain from my back and those stupid headaches which will never go away cause of my injury to my back and neck, but there is over the counter medicne that I can take for it that doesnt make it go away but makes it bearable, last night I was sooooo tired that I went to sleep with the tv on Ihave not done that sense I started my detox I had to have my room dark cold and very silent to even catch any zzzz's but last night I could stand my bf to hold me while I drifted off to dream land with the tv on. that is major for me. then morning came got up went in the kitchen got my coffee which makes me a lil jittery but I love my coffee and just dealt with the jitters. but his morning I drank it and it diddnt make me jittery just tasted yummy. my legs are still sore but they are getten stronger everyday and the rls is almost gone. the anxiety isnt bad either I'm facing new things everyday and dealing with them last night went to friends house and hung out in their garage and enjoyed being there. so things are so much better plus being by myself doesnt freak me out anymore I'm bymyself right now. and doing good plus the best thing is I dont dread the sun going down anymore I dont even think about it. life is good guys it really is good and each day the voice gets a lil more silent. oh I know I will always want them I'm an addict but I can say no cause I dont want them ever. love and light guys

this is to everyone thank you all so much, your kind words and encouragement keep me strong, and waterlilly my dear friend and inspiration what can I say other than you are so special to me if I ever saw you in person I would have to bear hug you even thou it prob wouldnt be much of a bear hug I'm only four eleven and weigh a 100 pounds I lil bity, anyways I hope you are right about the headaches it does wrry me cause before I started the medication the headaches were unbearable I would be bedriden for a couple days with them and would get very sick to my stomach with them, even with them being that bad I have not fallen or gave in to the pain its just pain I can deal with it in another way other than medication, I just wont go back to that ever I'm one of those ppl l do it whole heartly or nothing at all my bf says I'm an extreme person he is right I just wont tell him that LMOA. today the headache was really bad but I diddnt take anything other over the counter excederin migraine which made it ease off a bunch and I got on with my day. I have been so busy these past couple days its been great. I went with my bf today to his friends house and spent all day in the garage and our running the roads with him loved it. I hope all is well with you I have missed seeing your post lately and how well you have been doing. love and light to you my dear friend and many blessings sent your way

I am so proud of you!!!

Those headaches can still be from the WD, so don't go thinking they are permanant. Everyone is different, and it takes a full month for all the symptoms to wane, for everyone some hang on, some go. FOr me it was the anxiety, but a friend of mine had the headaches for 29 days, then they magically went away, like many other symptoms.

keep doing what  you are doing, you are TERRIFIC!!!

hugs,
Lily

It sounds like you've just about arrived. You'll have good days and bad days - such is life - but you'll enjoy each one and handle situations with a clear head.
I'm amazed each day at how wonderful living is without pills. I don't understand why I didn't do this long ago.
Congrats and keep up the good work. Three weeks tomorrow!!
