Official 60 Day Clean of Norco

Its been a rocky road but I won and I cherish every day clean . The biggest down side for now is managing my emotions and feelings .I still have the urge to take a pill to deal with strong emotions,anger,pain,fear anxiety etc .But it is not near as often as it used to be .Being clean of opiates is like running naked through an emotional minefield sometimes but it is getting better ..Yay to being free of pill counting and an pill schedules...worrying if I have enough for the day or whatever excursion we go on . Loving the freedom!!!

Great post. Few really think about all of the contortions they went through in order to get pills, count pills, plan vacations or family activities around pills...
It takes so much time and effort.
You will start making memories of events and activities clean, and eventually those will take the place of the ones when you were using.
Just be sure, really, really sure, that all of your sources are gone; that you've let your doc, dentist, etc., know that you are an addict, or at least an abuser. If not, then it is only a matter of time before you feel like you can "control" your addiction and you will relapse. All the best.
