17 Days Clean!!!!

Pain Pills

Good morning, I am at day 17 and I feel pretty good. I still have to make myself get up and do things though. I am not all that tired I just don't have the erge to do anything. OH well, at lest I am not back at day 3. Those days were ruff. I got about 4 hours sleep last night. I started going to bed earlier and lying there; eventually I fall asleep. Have a good day. I am going to try and do a little around the house today.

Good for you... I really feel our bodies need a fewmonths to heal form the mess we put it thru...I say if you don't work, take this time for yourself, and don't feel bad about it at all....your energy will come in due time..

Travis... I am so proud of you! Good job! Yes, the energy eventually comes back... give it a couple of months. Then you can start doing a little more. Good luck and God Bless,Bri ;)

I can't wait either, for my energy to return. I have good days and bad. Today is a good day I just don't feel like doing anything, but to take a look around my house; I have to do a little of something. Thanks for your support it means the world to me.

See Travis,
Sleep is slowly coming back to you. That's how it goes. You've come a long way already. Just remember hoe bad it was. That's what really helps me. I never want to detox again. I've had to do it too many times also and this last time was the worse and longest. We have to help one another stay clean.

Travis, 4 hours of sleep is great! You will sleep more easily and longer as the days go by. You ought to be very proud of yourself for getting to this point...keep it up! Don't push yourself too much, be very kind to your body as it tries to repair itself and learn to function without the drugs. Take care, CAS.

Little by little, Baby steps,

I also think of days like today. I'm on day 17 and really I'm only at about 65%. When I think of relapse I say to myself; Do I really want to go thru another 17 days.

Thanks to all of you and I hope with our new clean and clear brains we can really appreciate the holidays.

Well my doc was norco 10/325s, but when I ran out and couldn't find any I would take whatever I could find. Oxys, percs,ect. I am going to hang tuff though. I would just like to have my life back. I know if I go forward in my recovery I can have it.

Happy holidays.

Yes you can Travis,
You right about your kids. How many do you have and how old are they? Do they live with you? I bet they will benefit too. I know my son has.

Belinda, I have a daughter who is twelve, and my son is 4. My son lives with me and my daughter is here everyday( I pick her up from school) But only stays on tuesdays, thursdays, fridays, and sometimes on sundays. Me and her mother have joint custody. They are the reason I want to be clean. At first when I was high I spent alot of time with them and then later all I cared about was the pills.


Thanks for everything

I hear you Travis. My son just turned 6 and I do so much more with him now. I too only cared about the pills. He was just getting in the way. Man, when I think of drving with him in the car loaded on tons of pills trying not to nod off...shaking my head to stay awake. It makes me sick that I got that way and it was breaking my heart. I did get clean for me and mostly because of him. I'm glad your clean and doing so well this time. You sound so different then you did last time. I see your posting way more too. Your kids need you and you need them too.

I just try to take it one hour at a time, one day at a time until these w/ds are over. I know what you mean about driving with your kids. I have left my 12 year old to take care of my son, who is autistic, to run out and get pills. That is horrible. Now I am a new person, well I am working on being the father I was when my daughter was first born.
