Keep on trying! I am sorry you had to quit your classes. I've gone back and forth with myself over the same thing. I am in school and on a taper and it's just now beginning to get a lot tougher as I go lower. I haven't long to go, but enough that this semester could be ruined if I can't keep up. I have trouble with my cognitive abilities after 3 or 4 nights of 2-3 hours of restless sleep in a row, and it's really only killing me in my Portuguese class. Practicing a foreign language really takes a lot of focus and brain power (for me anyway) I have fought that same battle in my head as to whether I should quit school, but I am almost at the finish line, so I will hold out as long as possible. Quitting my taper is not an option for me though. Also, I am not going CT like I assume you are. I give you so much credit for taking the time to get this together and then giving your all to school. You sound like me with the running, but I don't play b-ball. Get active asap too, as it will help.

Today makes 1201 days clean for me. I haven't posted in a really long time but I do try lurk around the forum once or twice a month.

I had relapsed so many times prior to joining this forum that I thought my addiction would rule my life forever.

However the encouragement and goodwill I found here had a huge impact in my recovery. The first six months after I joined I was here everyday for as many hours per day I could.

I owe everyday of my clean time to the good people I met here. To those just starting out with clean time I can assure you it will get easier and learn to trust in the community leaders here because they do know what they're talking about.
It's been a little over 3 years now but I still use a calendar to mark off each and every clean day when I first get out of bed. I'm proud to be working on my 4th calendar with a big red X on each day.

sitting hear, just about at 59 hours!  Can't believe i have made it this far.  I am feeling a bit better and starting to eat a bit more.  My left knee is KILLING me, but other than that im not in the worst shape.  My legs are still very tired.

I may take tomorrow off or take a half day and go in around 11:30, i cant decide.  I was so bored today so thats why i want to go in and kill some time.

Thanks!

I was deff praying I wouldnt go through hard w/d , so far so good.. still scared its going to hit me outta nowhere. im almost at 45 hours,, an im feeling ok.. havent been laying in bed today, just playing games on computer & keeping my mind busy. also when laying in bed watch movies with no commericials, it helps you relax more.  I hope some of this may help you.. thanks for your support , as every bit does help keep me stronger.. best luck to you..

Glad you are doing so well this time D!
Just keep it up and don't ever go back friend. Many of us never stay clean long enough for the proper healing and more specifically, readjustment to take place. You must give it time with opiates especially.
   Let's see I think I am getting somewhere close to 600 days soon with no mind altering substances and there is always something else to quit and to start on. ;)  I quit drinking coffee energy drinks last week and am in the process of quitting wheat now too. It's fun to quit stuff. LOL    well.....except quitting air I guess. ;)

Wow, Congrats! That is a big step! I've never tried Oxy I heard it was like taking Vicodin like ten of them or something I was like wow. I think I might have tried it once and it got me a headache I guess or feeling really HIGH.

Through 1 FULL DAY!!!  25 hours to be exact!!  Taking it an hour at a time, which ***** cause of clock watching, but my goal is to get through this day and to 48 hours tomorrow AM.  I am going to take the day off of work tomorrow and try my best going back on tuesday.  Tuesday morning when i go back will be 72 hours so i think i will be feeling better.  Sleep by far the worst but obviously still dealing with all of the other symptoms at this time too.  Going to go take a hot shower now!
Keep up the good work everyone!  Lets get to tomorrow! You guys are all doing great, I can use you to back me at this time too! thanks

In 5 hours I will be 7 days off oxy!  It's been horrible, but I've just now stopped with the chills and cold sweats, clammy skin.  Wide awake in the middle of the night here though.  Oh well.
