Hey there.  It's great to hear you are feeling better on day 4.  It does come and go.  So don't get upset if your body all of a sudden decides it wants to give you a taste of day 2 or 3 again.  For the most part, once you cross that first week, it gets so much better every day after.  You have made the BEST decision of your life.  These stupid pills are the crutch we use to "deal" with everything going on in our lives.  I'm on day 43 and I can't believe I let myself "check out" of life for so long.  EVERYTHING is SO much better now without the narcotics...Things taste better, thoughts are clearer, sex is WAY better, happy thoughts, no more lies or sneaking, more money in my pocket, and so much more.  When we place ourselves in that sluggish existence nothing seems to make us happy.  It's a wonderful feeling now to finally be FREE.  This forum was the key ingredient that I needed to kick this thing.  Just reading all of these posts and seeing that so many are going through the same feelings and fears that I was really made me determined to change this hell that I made for myself.  Everyone here is so loving and they help without judgment.  We share our experiences and advice so that others may be free too.  In a way, it a therapeutic outlet to keep us on track.  Keep posting and reading.  You are doing great.
