22 - on to 30. Excellent progress. Like you, and most of us, I too experienced ups and downs during my early(er) recovery. For me the weekends were difficult because I didn't have work to help pass the time and keep my mind off pills. But, and it's a big one, it seemed like after about four weeks the major dips stopped; good days, bad days - yes, but the detox emotions weren't there. You are on your way. Congrats and keep us updated. And sleep will come.

wow Steve, so sorry you had to go through that.  I hope you are feeling better now.  This is a much harder battle than I thought it was going to be from the sounds of it but it's nice to be prepared.  Keep posting.  I'm glad you got some sleep.

Congrats on 21 days!! For some reason,,,On my 21st day I had the same issues. I thought everything had passed and BOOM it came outta nowhere! Just ride the wave,,,this will pass. Just something we gotta get thru. Its almost like this addiction is reminding us that it is still alive and well within us. Believe me it will rear its ugly head the minute you stop thinking about or think you got it beat! Hang in there!! (9Hugs)) ~Bkitty

21 days is great... It will pass. Stay positive, focus on the end result and don't look back. I'm on day 16 and my energy is low too. This weekend was a tough one.
