14 days on my taper. now today is 5 days clean!!!

I never would have thought i would be here. Never..
But with the help of everyone here. I have made it to day 5.
Today I'm getting out of here to the woods.
That is what i have missed the most all these years. (Feeling the fresh wind and the smell of pines.)
My energy is coming back slowly. I think. I have to push myself. And know that it is bests to do so.
It is nice to wake in the morning and stretch your body. Something i have not done in a lot of years.
I think a few more days and I'll be out of the woods.
Still yawning and sneezing a lot.
I'm hopefully that today in the woods will help that along.
Have a good day everyone.
Keep your head up. Tomorrow is a new day and one day closer to being clean.
Thank you all. I would not be going today with my old friend if it was not for all of you.
And for that i thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Promise me you will get rid of that one little pill.  It's not a reminder of anything.  It will take you back there.  You haven't got this beat yet, my friend.  You are going to still have some strong cravings and if you have that pill sitting there you will probably take it.
You have trusted me this far.  Trust me on this.
Promise me you will flush that pill.

Thanks, how are u coming along?  
I know you already know. Don't try to taper to fast. It will back fire on you.
And i don't want to see that with you.  
Keep dropping as u feel it is tolerable for u.
That my friend will work best.
Go as long as you can.  
I know when i got down to a few a day.  I would try and go all day without. Then one at night to rest is all. Some days were ok others not so much.
You will get there.  I can see the determined you to handle it.
Stay strong you will get there.  And bro crank the music.  It helps me so much.  
Have a great day everyone.

Yes i think you are right. Makes sense anyway.
I think it has been so long that our muscles have not worked the way they should.
There Just trying to get back to the order of things.
Oh how i never though about. Not stretching while using.
Now i welcome it. It feels good.
Everything is starting to feel good.
I will not give up.
I still have that little pill sitting on my table i found the other day and have not one desire to take it.  Because i know where it will take me and I'm not going back. It's just a reminder of what they took from me   i look at it everyday. And tell myself, life is better now and getting better as each day passes.

Congrats Not!   I love the fresh air and outdoors too.  Makes me feel alive.  Today is day 7 for me and Im still doing some yawning and sneezing here and there.  I don't know how long that lasts??   I find myself stretching more too.  Is that a side effect?   It must go hand in hand with the yawning to get the blood and oxygen flowing.  Hope you have a great day...keep it up!

Wow, I'm not a woodsy type of girl but that actually sounds nice.  If there is one thing I really enjoy being clean it's fresh air.  I think I have been cooped up so long that I forgot what it was like and I almost crave it now lol.  
Enjoy your day.  You really earned it and Congrats on Day 5.
