week 3

[frootbar]

well, here it is, about three weeks now, and it just gets better (my issue was codeine).
talked to the doc, says good show to me, keep it up.  i'm still sittin' on a stash, i often
forget where they are, it's an emergency i'd rather do without, but, if i ever really need
something, but my goal is to not need them at all.
to those who said it does get better and better, it does.  i feel more and more like myself,
and no headaches or anything, and really, not much anxiety.
so thanks for the help and encouragement, i cannot be here much, but i appreciate it all.
i will make sure i post any physical benefits i notice, i think that's maybe important, and
may possibly help someone.  i just notice a few minor things so far, and the big one is
just a general feeling of well being.  however, i do have a few oddities that they've not had
any answers for, which i will not mention unless they are fixed by no pain meds.  then i
think i should make it known.  bye for now.

I'm sittin on a stash and I often forget where they are........Paleeese!  Be honest with yourself.  If you have them you will take them.  I can almost guarantee it.  Get rid of them or give them to someone.  Your setting yourself up for disaster.

"i'm still sittin' on a stash"

Wow.  That's not something I could or would do.  It would not be safe.  I have never kept a stash that didn't end up inside me sooner or later.  I will be interested to hear how that works out for you.  

In the meantime, if you haven't yet, you might find information about PAWS to be very useful to your continued Recovery.  One good source of info is available at http://www.tlctx.com/ar_pages/paw_part1.htm.

hop, yes, it can really stink doing this, and sure, mentally, i have had a tiny urge to
say oh what the ....and grab some pills....but no.
it does feel great!  and it keeps feeling better....so, i think i'd rather have the odd beer
or something later on when i'm months clean hopfully, rather than any of this junk.

avisg, thanks for that, and yes, it is soooooooo great i have to say.  a few weeks ago,
i would have and did think, oh man, this is pretty brutal, but, you get over that one
hump and it's way better....anyway, i'll check in on sunday...take care and thanks.

Thanks for that post. I will be at 2 weeks at 6:00 tonight and I hope your right about the headaches they are driving me crazy at times. I needed to hear something like this. Physically i'm alot better just fighting the mental part of it and dealing with the fact I cannot use again. I'm coming to grips with that part right now. Your words are very encouraging for me. Thank you
