I was on up to 4mg of Klonopin a day for about 10 years, as well as 20mgs of Ambien for about 20 years, and in the last few years became a very heavy drinker as well. I am almost 6 months clean and sober and I am having terrible pounding headaches and muscle pain. But part of the reason I was on the meds was due to an auto-immune issue that causes pain. I was told to expect about 2 years. I've had more good days than bad, especially recently, but the headaches are really bad. 5 months was a really big turning point for me…I am starting to understand that the clarity I have about my sobriety seems to be much more apparent in retrospect, looking backwards (no, I am not Edward Bellamy) really helps me see patterns. I anticipate that will continue.

Congrats on 100 DAYS!
