CONGRATS. You'll be tired for a while Im just in front of you...day 22 or 23 for me hell I lost count. Anyway I can sleep around 7 hours a night and still wake up and be fatigue by noon and again at 7pm. Ive found laying down and trying to sleep when im like that works best even if I cant nap I get up feeling more energetic. I used to naturally sleep 10 hours a night so for me its real frustrating. But hey, I can poop normal and besides the occasional fatugue its all good. I hear it takes abbout 60 days to get rid of the lethargia totally.
You are doing great!!! 13 days clean...it must seem like forever, but it's a great start to staying clean...keep up the good fight!
Traci,
Congrats on Day 13.. You should be very proud of yourself. Sounds like your getting some of your natural energy back. It takes time but it will gradually return. I am very happy for you. Methadone isn't an easy detox but you give others hope... Enjoy your day. I am off to enjoy mine. It is chilly here in Tampa. I can't believe how cold it feels today. We aren't used to that here but it's nice for a change. Talk to you soon. Thanks for all the pictures. Rae
Yeahhhhh I even slept a bit more last night.........and even poo'd this am.heheeh for some reason I couldn't go at my bro's how weird.cuz I been going reg. since last week.LMAO gotta love this subject..the excitement you get just to go poo.LMAO heheheh hahaaha.as some said in my other thread lat week..Plop plop fizz fizz.oh what a relief it is....so so true..........
Congrats to your clean days Vegas.I lose count to...get my fingers out and start counting to find what day it is.,....I haven't had the desire to smoke cigs since I stopped taking the meds.but last night on our way home I did, so stopped and grabbed apack, but then left them in hubby's car so I won't have them during the day.I really want this time to be a clean time.but oh hell I am getting there...
just to see others make it thru many more days and months and years gives us all hope.........I read where around 2 weeks you start craving........I am hoping with the herbs I am taking that won't happen..........not that I would go back on methadone.NOWAY!!! but I hate the cravings feelings....reminds me of the anxity I had when I knew I had 1 or 2 pills left ..Hate it!!!
Your obviously strong, so dont worry....the cravings will present themselves at times, but almost always a trigger will be the cue..for me a fight with my wife. Then I want to blindly take some pills to numb the stress. The solution: know you will be weak and make sure you have no access to the drugs 1st and foremost. Second, for me I just remember how hard it has been the last 22 days and think hell no I aint starting all that over. Hang in there and soon you will be 110%.
great to hear you are doing good keep it up i am in day eight and i felt great when i awoke at 7am and until noon but it seems i dont know what it is but about noon i get on edge but about 3pm i seem to get tierd but no biggy i just went through the worst week of my life last week with the w/d it was hell going through that and chasing a 19mon. old daughter. the hydros were hard enough to come off of but i cant imagine methadone. cheers to you stay on that wagon. by the way i know i have a long way to go as well but i am giving it my best. one day at a time.
Tracey...that is so great! Every day will get better and better.
