Day 6 Without Oxycodone

It's a lovely sunny day outside, albeit cold. I am feeling somewhat better and am thankful to have made it this far. I am heading out today to spend a few days at my floating cabin on the ocean, about one and a half hours by boat from home. It's remote and isolated and it always does me a world of good to be there. I can go fishing or catch crabs from the dock or just sit and read a book. It's a great place, no electricity, no roads, barely cell service and lots of bears, whales and other exciting wildlife.

I've got my bag packed with all the necessary things... Imodium, Advil, L-Tyrosine and vitamins.

I would like to say that I am perfectly well today, but that is not quite true yet. My head just doesn't feel right. I suppose with time that will improve. I do, however, feel well enough to get out in the fresh air, which is already something.

I hope today finds you all keeping up the good fight. It isn't easy, I'll attest to that, but it certainly is achievable and it can be done.
