Ok so here it is day 6 no sub and I just realized I'm not dope sick anymore!
I had a horrible nights sleep, maybe 2 hours tops, but once the coffee hit and I went about my routine, I realized that that nagging nervous, sicky crappy
feeling is just about gone.........its raining outside but the sun is shining in my world right now!!!!!!!! Thank God, and thank all of you!!!

Mind you not 100% but close enough!!!!!!!

Outstanding news!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember each day it only gets better and better. What a nice thing to look forward to

enjoy

That is great news! Being from CO, I like the rain...cleansing. Perhaps if I lived in Seattle, I'd be clean enough. Good for you Mr.Grateful! Keep sharing the good news.

Congratulations :) . It's a long hard road - but it sounds like you are doing wonderful! Keep up the positive attitude, that will help you a lot in getting thru the hard times!

I am SOOOOOOO happy for you! I am smiling like crazy. I am glad you made it. I have a long ways to go, but at least I have someone to look to. Although, I KNOW you are human. Not SuperSober Man. Good Job, sugar. Keep up the good work!

Mr. G,
I am soooo happy for you. Hey, you are right on time with me... six days to begin to feel a little like a dope free HUMAN BEING! :cool: It just gets better.

Pillz, if we can do it so can you. It is great that you have a support group on these boards and in the 'fellowship,' that was what helped me stick to my guns the most. What a great start you have made by building that foundation. You will make it and know freedom again. Hey, don't you LOVE the promises? They keep me 'coming back!' :D

CONGRATS!!!

Wow, 6 days, I'm only only day 2 but now I have something to look forward to now that I see your coming back into your own again, keep it up for we need courage from people as yourself, more important do it for YOU, keep it up, just think, 6 more days from now you will be saying it's now been 12 days and I can't tell you all how good I feel.

God Bless You Mr. Grateful

I too have followed your story and am just so thrilled for you to be coming through this difficult process and beginning to see the light! Congratulations for this first milestone Mr. G! It sounds like you may have gone through the worst of it ... We are here for you as you continue your journey into recovery.
Thank you for sharing your courage with us.

Wow.....you guys are great.......yhe first thing I do when I come to work is check email and then delete all the solicitations from online pharmacies and come to this board.......just knowing that there are people who know what its like to be going through addiction and recovery is so helpful. Its really my only outlet.....I know I should take in a meeting.....I will....JT

That is sooooo excellent!!! It gets better day by day, believe me!!! I've been clean well over a year now and life is so much better through the eyes of a "straight" person!!!! GOD bless and keep up the great work!!!

Hey Mr. G! WOW, I'm SO happy, excited, elated, etc., etc. for you! Now you have to recap for me, okay?! I've been off the boards for awhile now (many, many "issues")...but I do miss you all, and I want to hear how long you were on the Sub., how low you went before stopping completely, etc. Give me all the details! I'm scared TO DEATH to stop, but seeing posts like yours are so inspiring! I'm sorry to ask you to so many questions (especially since I could go back and search for the answers, I'm sure)...but due to my extremely limited computer access, I wanted to ask you in this particular post. Please keep updating daily on how you are feeling/doing....and know that I'm behind you 100%, just as everyone else here is! Keep up the awesome work, my friend...and God Bless! I'm SO proud of you!

No problem CM, I made the decision to go on sub in early Feb '05 after reading these very boards.....I went March 19, (I think) started at 16 mgs ( 8mg 2x daily) 4 days 8mg once a day 5 days, 4mgs for a couple maybe three weeks, then 2 mgs for about 2 weeks, then 1.5 for 5 days, 1mg for 5 days and my last day was April 21, 2005. I was mezzo-mezzo Friday (4/22) bad Sat, bad Sunday, fair to poor Mon & Tues, but Wednesday the dope sickness was gone.......almost.......even today Day 8 my stomachs a tad queezy, but the jonesin is over, I'm in love with life again and all is well,......JT

PS My Doctor is very compassionate and totally understands addicts and gave me some support meds to just kind of knock me out over last weekend, it helped a lot.

It sure makes it nice to come here and read post as yours,
today I felt so good about myself and looking forward for tomorrow to see how I do.
Well anyway keep it up and post as often as you can to let us all know how your doing and remember not to go back to the meds because you now are drug free and you must stay like that :bouncing:
