Day 56

[sickofpills]

Just wanted to check in w/ everyone.  I've been so busy w/ job and kids, it's hard to get on here everyday.  Mentally, I've been feeling pretty good.  The anxiety is pretty much gone.  Now I have noticed that all though I sleep through the night, I am soooo sleepy throughout the day.  Hopefully, the fatigue will pass soon.  To be honest, I would rather have that than the anxiety, headaches, and GI problems.  I hope everyone else is doing well.  56 DAYS!  It can be done, and the normalcy is returning.  Those of you that are just starting, you can do it!  Hang in there!  To the veterans, thanks so much for the reassuring comments and advice.  To those of you thinking about stopping, it can be done!  Just try to have family and friend support, a doctor supervising you if possible, go to meetings, pray, and keep posting on this forum!

Way to go on almost 2 months:) It sounds like things are improving and they will continue to do so. For most the energy is the last thing to return, but it keeps getting better. CONGRATS and keep your guard up, your doing great!!!

I'm very proud of you and your accomplishments. Today I'm able to come to you all and say that I'm 22 days sober from the pills, and I couldn't have done it without my strength and willpower and change, my amazing hubby-wuuby [haha] and all the members who did reach out to me when I was self detoxing here at home without the assistance of any other medications or my PCP even.

I know what you mean when you say that you sort of feel bad for not posting too much lately due to being so busy with work, etc. I was on here all day everyday but alas, I can't leave everything up to my husband to pay for things so I pushed a 13 hour workday yesterday and have to go right back in today around 5pm. I hope people understand, but I just wanted to come here and tell you that I'm proud of you right now!
