Update: Day 7 :-)

[jc1002]

Good morning everyone!  I am happy to let you know I will be a week clean as of 4:00pm this afternoon.  Feeling much better.  Most of the physical wd's have gone.  Still have some aching in the back, a little of the bathroom trips, and of course the tieredness that I know will last alot longer.  But all in all feeling alot better.  The biggest thing is that the head fog is gone.  I think I will be able to be much more productive today.  Thank you everyone for all your support, kind words, and brutal honesty.  :-)  (bones haha)

I couldnt have done this without you guys!

Congrats on Day 4.  Glad that I could help someone.  So many here have helped me.  You are almost out of the physical part.  Just a couple more days.  Day 5 more me was one of those days where I needed to be extra strong.  Rough day at home, and was the weekend so I wasnt as busy as I am at work, so my mind was messing with me.  But I reassured myself that I wasnt going to do this again, and told myself that a pill was NOT an option.  I made it and now on day 7 I feel so much better.  You got this!  Be strong, tell yourself that you will not take a pill no matter what.  I pounded Gatorade and Vitamin water all weekend.  :-)  

You can do it!

Congratulations!!! You  have given me some much needed strength and encouragement. I am on day 4 of with drawls, with the help of suboxone. I still feel week and a bit fuzzy. I thought I would be feeling much better by now. Hearing that you have been clean for a week and still feel a bit shakey, makes me feel that things are going to be ok. GOOD JOB! Now you have become an inspiration to me. Thank you.

Thanks waz.  Im a huge pusher so I have to be careful that I dont push myself too hard.  Makes sense that it will cause anxiety.  I am very competitive so it will be tough for me.  Hard to accept small victories.  :-)

I was the train wreck!  lol

How awesome is this news!  Remember... you have just exited a train wreck.  Proceed with great caution!! ; ).  Give you body time to heal. Live for today.  Don't look to tomorrow.  It's there and waiting when you get there.  Small triumphs.  Beyond the fact you just conquered a HUGE one.  Nourish your body and mind.  Push your body and mind.  Not in giant chunks.  It will force your anxiety to rise.  Little bits.  Little pieces.  Wee goals.  I'm cheering for you and always have!
