34 days and counting!
I made it to a milestone...ONE MONTH! I can't believe how fast it went and how good I feel! What took me so long! Three years of ups and downs, days without and suffering with withdrawals! Days with and feeling crappy when they (my demon Vicodin) wearing off. Now, 34 days later and I feel incredible! I knew I had to stop and wanted to but feared the withdrawals. Now I realize that they were a lot better that the constant ups and downs of using. Today, I still have sleep issues but even with 4 hours it's better than 8 with a hangover in the morning. I have as much energy as I had before, but it's constant and not up and down when my pills were wearing off. Everything I feared about recovery was ALL In my head and just an excuse not to stop. Sure, I have days im in pain and would loveto pop just one but I know it's a slippery slope and pop a few advil instead. It's good to actually feel again and I feel so free! To anyone who is afraid of detoxing suck it up for a week and stick up on vitamins, etc (see my other post) and every day gets better. Probably day 15 I felt really good. Now, I feel human again! Thanks for all the support!
Keep on keepin' on.

Good for you and congratulations. I am creeping up on 90 days and can relate that the good feeling continues although the newness of it does wear off some as it becomes who you are rather than who you're becoming. At least for me it's that way. I can bring back the new feeling any time I want simply by thinking of how far I've come from where I was. And I don't want to ever be where I was. Stick with it and be ever vigilant as the beast is still there he/she's just not in charge.

Congrats on one day at a time.... 30 day is huge 90 days too. I'am new in here. I stumbled on this site while asking google what is the difference between my will and God's will. Wow this is a great site to stumble on to. I have a little over 6 months and i am a relapser I had 18 yrs. There is no seat belts folks. Sponsor, meetings, 12 steps and commitments. These 4 things i stop doing... I back by the grace of God. So this site is just another tool i'll use if i can't get to a meeting.
