Thanks everyone. It's the middle of my fifth day. Legs are easing up and so is the need for Loperimide. I hope. I'm still not getting more than 5 hrs. sleep a nite but I guess I should be grateful for that. Almost felt like I threw my back out last nite. First thought was, "what if I HAVE to use?" Pain is my weakness and bondage to these pills leaving me. Emotions running a bit high though. Like a roller-coaster really of ups a and downs. It's actually quite refreshing if not inappropriate at times. I'm not going to listen much to the BS that those little bastids are already whispering in my ear. I do hope my scatterbrained thought process dissipates soon also. Who'd a thought that a narcotic would make my brain SEEM more focused? Weird. Still digging freedom though. A lot. First time in almost a freaking decade. I just broke free of my DOC folks but I can assure you that I am already feeling the benefits of that freedom. Big time peace and strength to all.
