Day 8 and still hanging in there

[Pollyanna7]

I am on day 8 no pills and wow is it harder today! We have so much stress in the house since we are in the middle of a huge cross country move. Normally I would be doped up and not feeling much of anything but I have to deal with it! I tell myself all day the problems without the pills .. The WD etc are better than the problems with the pills. It's a hard day but with Gods help I am determined. Feel like I took two steps back with WD. Zero energy, anxious, extreme fatigue .but I have to pack. I can't pass. I have to deal with this hand. God bless us as we all get clean and stay clean

Pollyanna, as hard as it might be to do the packing. It will do wonders for your brain and body...congrats on your clean time and good attitude!! Keep it up. God be with you!

Congrats! Just think, all the packing and moving around, you will sleep like a baby tonight! Keep up the good work. It gets better and better.

[Pollyanna7]

Yes and really the movement helps even though I feel like zoning out. Pushing through..

[SJS49]

Movement really helped me in the beginning too. I had to FORCE myself to get up and do stuff, but once I did, I was feeling better and getting energized at the same time!

Hey, Pollyanna, congrats on 8 days. Love your screen pic. Have you started aftercare yet? That's been the one game changer for me as well as other folks on here w/ long term sobriety.  

[Pollyanna7]

No But I have too. The last time I went off pills for 9 months I didn't do any after care. I know that was a huge mistake. I find a meeting. Thanks!

Im 5 days off methadone. Went from 120mgs to cold turkey at 3mgs. I have mininmal w/d's ranging from stomache discomfort/soft stools, anxiety, sneezes, RLS and chills/sweeating. I know im not outa the clear yet but this is all because of my diet along w the taper. I would start taking a b-complex and a multi vitamin along with protien. Hope you feel better soon:)
