Hey just a guy... I downloaded that late last night... I plugged in and drifted into sleep. It was after 1am but I actually didn't wake up until just before 7am. The most rest so far. I actually feel pretty good and focused right now. Many thanks !!!

Diving head first into day 6. Im not totally symptom free but 1000 times better physically. Body ache and focus are getting better. Those who are going through it in the first days hold on push through and as never sick said crawl if you have to... Howell if you have to. Scream back at that f@#$ er. The people are right here it does get progressively better.. slowly a bit here and there.. Take sound advice become accountable.. reach out dont isolate. Vent there's a good place here to do it. Just don't use.

Getting to the point where I am almost starting to lose track of the exact number. Had to go back and look at my last post and do the math.

116 days. 4 days away from exactly 4 months. 120 days is 4 months btw.

Went dancing last night and am gonna go dancing again tonight.
 
Terrific, Ad Lib!

Sundays are my 1 week down, 1 week to go days. :) But really, the physical cravings for pretty much anything are gone. Most everything is purely psychological now. But then, it's mostly always been that way.

But this craving I'm about to satisfy right now... the craving for some morning coffee... I think that one's become physical. lol

Have a great one, folks.

Glad to hear your cravings are subsiding.. Mine peak and balance..still. I'm sure it will take me a long time to balance out completely after the years of damage I've done. I was craving some coffee but I bought this warm apple cider mix and I've been substituting it for my coffee and it's divine =D <3.
 
7 days today . I feel good today. I can't believe its been a week. I will say the cravings are ginormous but I deal with them head on. They are so strong im not leaving the house. Im bunkered in. There's plenty here to keep my mind busy... I really let thing's go while I was using. I used to think that opiates made me super man but today is was ablel to see what they made me neglect.

Everything is so Christmassy around this time. It does make me want to bunker down in my house sometimes, just to avoid any tempting environments.
All these suggestive party themed advertisements and bright flashing colors can bring up cravings or dumb thought patterns.
Gotta remember that enjoying this time of year in a healthy manner is something worth celebrating in its own right; something that you can be proud of in the future.

It's hard to believe when you look back how fast time flies. When your going through it that's not how it feels, but when you look back it's such a pleasant realization :). Glad to read you're doing well <3.

I can relate so much, the cold (even in FL) does eat at ya a bit. Definitely remember that enjoying this year in a healthy fashion will be so satisfying and such an accomplishment. I think it will propel you far into the new year <3. Keep it up!
