That's right! It just gets better everyday. That doesn't mean there will not be bumps along the way that we have to overcome but if we keep things in perspective and stay in control of our own actions we will make it.

How have you been doing?
 
Glad to hear that you are doing better. I was a little nervous with the short supply that you had and how well you were going to taper down so fast, but you did it and should be proud of yourself!

I can relate to the restless legs! I'll post tonight.
 
Thanks

Yes, the taper SUCKED big time but my will was strong for once and still is! I know, what a crazy statement coming out of MY mouth. I feel strong as a Ninja! hahahhahaha

So I woke up this morning with the tiniest of leg jumpies but I did some PT exercises for my hip and back and they went away. Right this very moment I FEEL GREAT! The only thing right now w/d wise I have dealing with is that darn tingling between my shoulder blades I get when in w/d or a bad craving. Last night the cravings were kicking in but you know what guys? I KICKED THEM RIGHT OUT! I felt darn good about it too. I took a hot bubble bath with candles, and a book about getting healthy for pregnancy. I was so happy!

This morning on my short commute to work I turned the radio on in my car and a newish fun song from Carrie Underwood came on. "Cowboy Casanova" I think that's what it is called. (yes, I do listen to country music along with many other varieties) Anyway.... I just started singing it at the top of my lungs (sounded pretty good too I might add hahahhaha) and it sent this feeling of pure happiness all over my body and mind. I was bummed when I got to work and had to come in! hahahahha

I just wanted to share that little silly story to let people know if I can do this, believe me....... please beleive me..... SO CAN ANYONE ELSE.

I just feel so good about this. I am actually HAPPY. DRUG FREE. I have not felt that way for 2 years at least now.

I do have hard times but I don't let them last long.

XOXOXOXOX
 
Hey Guys!

I was so excited when I woke up this morning that I got ready for work as fast as I could (I even forgot to put mascara on my right bottom eye lashes) ahhaha Anway...........

I FEEL SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bouncing::cool::round::bouncing:

Seriously, I have very little w/d left. A little anxiety (but I have that everyday) my legs still have a little spunk left in them but not nearly like before. I just feel so HAPPY! The last 2 days I have felt so great. (yesterday I was slammed at work so I could not get on here but I wanted to so badly!

Every other time I have tapered and quit I always felt so depressed and this time I just don't and I hope it stays that way because I just feel like I am on top of the world right now. I feel strong and yes, there have been cravings but I am able to make them go away a lot quicker than ever before.

I just had to write today to share my GOOD NEWS with all of my dearest frienRAB! Thank you for you support and frienRABhips! I just want you all to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel for those of you out there who feel there is not.

I hope you all have a GREAT DAY.
XOXOXOXOX
 
Hey There, Ninja Woman

Glad to hear it is a good day for you. Also great to hear that you recognize what a withdrawal symptom is and put to use the things learned to corabat them. Hot baths are wondrous, huh?

And that singing? I recommend this to everyone going through withdrawals. When feeling low, feeling the depression start to set in, employ this tactic... sing at the top of your lungs and smile while you do it. Force yourself to sway to the tune and paste that smile on your face no matter if it is a fake one. I don't know the scientific explanations ( if there are any) behind this, but I do know that these things helped me greatly. I would experience relief for a while. Real relief from the symptoms.

So sing away and do some Ninja moves while you are at it, Secrets. Help yourself heal. Smiles.

Thanks REACH!

I had to laugh at the Ninja woman comment because I could totally see myself singing and doing some ninja moves..... My husband would say that is nothing out of the ordinary. hahaha

Yes, I do feel stronger than I have in a long time and I am so happy about it. I just can't explain the feeling well enough.. It's GREAT!

Thank you so much for your support.

Off to heat my lunch up!
XOXOXOX
 
Hello Secrets
I don't know if you remeraber me, but I was posting back last August I think, or maybe last April. You helped me a lot. I am so happy for you that it's about done with. I am 4 days off Norco, and I feel much better today than I did yesterday. I relapsed for several months, I am sorry, that's why I've been MIA. When I read your posts, I feel hope. You are doing so great, and I hope you respond to my post. I guess it takes what it takes to get off whatever it is we are addicted to. Keep up the good fight Secrets, I'm rootin' for ya'

Your post has made my day, Sweetpea.

In the worRAB of an old friend, "Keep on keepin' on." Smiles.

Love

HEY!!!!

Both of your replies put the BIGGEST smile on my face that I have had in a long time! I just feel so good.

GypsyBoots, I do remeraber you! Welcome home! Yeah, as you can tell I had a pretty nasty relapse myself but I feel worlRAB away from it right now!!! I am so proud of your strength to start the fight up again against addiction and I am here for you all the way!

Reach, I don't even know what to say to you anymore... hahahaha. You seem to always be my voice of reason and my inspiration. I am so happy to have made your day :cool: And I love those old worRAB from our old friend. Thank you for your support and honesty and also for always being my cheer leader in life. It really has helped more than you will ever know. The other side of the berry patch is looking better and better each and ever moment!

So I agree with Reach..... KEEP ON KEEPING ON!

Blessings!
 
Secerts,
Way to go Girlfriend! Im so damn proud of you....We both know how hard this journey is, but looks at us go .....
It only gets better from here on out!
 
I'm so glad that you are feeling so good. Happiness is the BEST way to corabat the cravings. You are doing everything right! When they hit, think about how good you feel NOT being on the drugs. I'd be hard pressed to be singing and doing ninja moves during w/d's, but after they are gone, they sound good. I like to sing when I'm cooking. Drives my son nuts. Enjoy your day and stay happy! Your mood is contagious.
 
Thanks

Besides the stress of work which is horrendous right now... I FEEL GREAT! A little more tired than normal but it's to be expected. Everyday is going to be new and better. I just know it. That is the promise of recovery.

My ninja moves are more hand movements than anything if you ask my husband because with my sore hip and back my legs are not leaving the ground too far unless I ocassionally break out the praying mantis move!! hahahhaa
If only you guys could see it :eek:

Thanks for your encouragement! Every bit I am soaking up and all that positivity helps!

So thank you.
