Good Morning- 17 days, NO PILLS!

Wow, what a difference 3 days makes.  I posted last Friday (my 2 week mark), about "when am I going to get more energy?"  Let me just say this, I think my body is finally feeling the lack of poison being entered into it and it's is thanking me with clear thoughts, natural energy and the ability to find excitement in the normal things, like going to the movies or sampling a new cafe in town or the sound of the birds chirping in the morning.  Oh how I have forgotten about all of the normal joys of life.   It's been pretty eye-opening.  I have slept without the use of Xanax the last 2 nights too, last night for 9 hours!  I think this sleep has made a huge difference too.  Feels good to be free from the evil chains of Vicodin and Tramadol.  I can no do anything, go anywhere without having to count my pills to see if I have enough to last the duration of my trip.  Wasn't that THE WORST??  Things are looking up.
