you are doing great. i am at 25 1/2 hrs. I was taking around 15+ a day til Sunday and decided to end it. I didn't take anything on on Mon., took 2 on Tue, and 1 each of the past two days. (had to work, no choice) I hope this eases the w/d's. Just into day two and feel ok really.... just no sleep.
The support from the people I meet on here is awesome. I, like you, creeped on sites like this before but never posted til now. It helps to do that. I am glad that I'm out and told my Dr. NO MORE!! The moments of clarity are so great!
ZWe never really realize how important sleep is till we're deprived of it lol. But with the sleep I got I've been able to double my exersise from yesterday already, and its only noon for me. I plan on really pushing myself today. Its sad really, I used to be able to run 5 miles, bench 200+ lbs etc. Etc., now I can't even do 15 pushups in a row. Its amazing how I've let my mental and physical health go over the years. Gotta get at least some of it back!
Great day today, haven't laid down since I woke, walked 4 miles and done as much exersise I can in the time I've been awake. Really starting to see how bad I have f'ed my life up with the life I've been living. Its going to take a lot of work to get back to before, but with outside help, I'm going to take my life back.

Sleep is so underrated in our society and it's a great healer. Glad you're feeling better and I'm sure every day will be better than the day before.
Well, movie night lasted all of 30 minutes, and I passed out! Got almost 8 hours of sleep, and man does that make a huge difference In how I feel. Doing great today, already made my walk to the store, and will probably go again today, make it a 4 mile day.
Life is looking better, I can actually enjoy things again now that I'm not constantly high. Now the research can begin on aftercare, as I don't intend on effing this up again, this is my life, and I deserve better than I have been putting myself through, and I know I will need help in hard times.
Anyways, great day today, day 5 starting. Kinda worried about work on the heat tomorrow, but I think ill be ok.
Thank you all

The getting out of the house, and walking, music and movies really got me through today. Walked over 2 miles so my legs were nice and exhausted. Got a nap earlier, so I know sleep will be rough tonight, but since the nap, my restlessness is almost gone. So, ill call it a movie night, and see how it goes.
To anybody reading my story, and posting with your awesome advice, I thank you. My mindset was good pre-detox, but after getting over my shyness of posting, I now know what I really have to do to beat this. And that wouldn't have happened without everybodies help here.
Thank you all

Sitting out in the sunshine does wonders, I know it did for me when I was going through my mess! Keep going -- we're all so proud of you and what you've already accomplished!
