4th day off vicodin and feeling very well this morning!

[joyagain]

Well today I woke up at about 4:30 am, did the dishes, started the laundry as I am supposed to do before the kids get up for school, and I feel great.  Is this just one of those "highs" while coming off vicodin, or is this really me?  I hope it is.  Actually, I was reluctant to go to my sons baseball play off game last night because the social aspect just seamed too much.  I got there, minded myself for a while then was a me a total jabber mouth and had  great time!  Go figure, I haven't been to a game sober this whole season, much less any social occassion for about a year.  There is a catch here, I have not deprived myself of sleep.  I do have ambien, but honestly I am so thankful for it right now.  Is it ok to think that maybe I could taper the ambien my next stretch off of work which well be afer this weekend?.  Incidently this weekend is the first I will be back to work after getting off viciodin, I am very nervous about this because the minute I would get stressed out at work I'd pop a pill and functioned normally. Scary but true.  Thanks all reading.

Congratulations on your success.  For me (coming off of a nasty 2 year vic habit) day 4 was a turning point for me too.  That was the day where I wasn't depressed and I actually started feeling great.  My motivation skyrocketed and I really got focused on my recovery.  Sounds like you are doing a great job.  Keep up the good work and enjoy your new life!

You will be fine at work.  Try not to get overwhelmed!  You sound like you are functioning well right now, and that's great.  

Congrats on 4 days!
