Day 4... Exhausted and SOOOOREEE

[want2befree123]

ive been 4 days clean now as of 8 last night so a little more, still not really sleeping. and my body is hurting like crazy! going to school everyday is wearing me out very quickly, i guess its only two more days but that sounds awfull right now.... been awake since 3 am and frustrated.... slowed down on the immodium last night and turns out i guess it was a bad idea... lol ill leave it at that.... im just loosing hope that i can finish what i have to do as going to school all day and walking a million miles (so it seems) and thousands of damn stairs to get to class is seeming more and more hard everyday.....  bah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

made it thru school! one more day and i got two off! to do homework bahaha.... gotta keep up. Anyway i noticed i wasnt as cold all the time and when i walked with the headphones pumping i actually felt a surge of energy out of no where... liked it! started eating more today as well... my legs ache still but should be good.

  Great job!...4 days!  Try not to think about tomorrow, just one day at a time...and for today, you are doing it!  The aches will slowly subside, and I know it's not fun, but all the walking and stairs is actually GOOD for you!!!

Want2 - You are so strong to be pushing through with school and all you have to do - I seriously don't know if I could have done that so kudos to you.  I will tell you my pain while initially wasn't bad did really spike at about 2 weeks clean - rebound pain I guess but I'm at 59 days today and I cannot believe how much better it is - better than I ever expected.  If you would have told me a year ago I could manage my pain without pills I would have told you that you were crazy and here I am.  Hang in there it is so worth it!

Oh, hun, I know how you feel. It is so hard to be who everyone expects us to be and who we have to be while going through this. You can make it. What helped me is just focusing on making it for the next few minutes, then an hour, then through just one day. Any more than that was just overwhelming. I am thinking of you today and rooting for you. You have come so far and that is a major accomplishment. Hold on to each small victory.

Hugs,
