Day 30, in 10 minutes!
Good evening! I am so thankful to all of you and this awesome site! I will have 30 days at midnight. I am grateful for every minute of this time. I was sleeping well the past 10 days or so but am having issues tonight. I can't explain it, it's like I can't lay still, almost like I want to jump out of my skin. Withdraws are obviously over. Maybe this is part of PAWS. I can't stand the way I feel right now, very uncomfortable. Suggestions?

Congratulations on 30 days!!! I had read, here, when I was still lurking, that milestones could bring up a lot of emotion and be quite tough.
I clung to SR and family support at 30, 60 days, 1 year, etc.
Just knowing that it was fairly common helped me a LOT!
The crazy feelings don't last, just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and don't use
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Well done truefan, keep at it. I'm at 43 days. Most days have been pretty decent, but I go through periods of restlessness, boredom, listlessness, fatigue. These mood issues seem to be a common theme amongst anyone just getting sober. But I'm determined to just ride it out. Drinking won't help.

Hang in there. I am at 49 days today and felt the last few days really seem different. I felt fantastic today. A couple more weeks and you should feel really good...one day at a time. They seem to go quicker after the 30 day mark

Try Sleepytime tea with milk and honey. Make it strong (I use 4 bags). If you can find the kind with valerian then get that. I took valerian in a tincture while going through withdrawal from Lyrica, and it helped me so much. It tastes horrible though. It calmed me down as much as a benzo like klonopin, and its natural.
