Sleep is still hard at times, but not every night. I fall asleep easily, it is staying asleep a full 7-8 hours that I still have some hard nights with. If anything wakes me I have a hard time going back to sleep. My stomach is better, but has it’s moments, I do have my appetite again so that is a plus there. Emotions are still in full swing and I am easily cold, or hot. I still have minor aches and pains. My head feels a little weird at times. I yawn, tear, and sneeze. BUT I am Fighting this demon with all I have got. If I can’t find a real smile, I fake one. If I have a hard moment I Hold on, they pass. All of my wds are the same, but less intense and manageable. Like I said before, I get little breaks here n there. That shows me where I am going and keeps me going there because that is my destination. Tinydancer said on one of her posts, I think her wd timeline. " It’s just a commitment!" That was a very smart statement. It is so true. This is just a commitment. At this point the un-comfortable times are shorter the easier times are getting longer I feel like a bit of a broken record because I have said all of these things already. I just want to be clear, It is day 18 I am still having wds, but I am fighting them and pushing through them rather than letting them control me. I am like GET OFF ME! I don’t have time for ya stupid wds. Then I go outside, or jump on the four-wheeler. Last night Lee and I rented movies and got Chinese food. I didn’t make it through even the first movie before I fell asleep and in reality that is how I was before opiates. If I get still after a long day of pushing through this beast, un-like any other person who works hard all day I am going to fall asleep, it is normal, if I could stay asleep that would be great, but everyone has told me that takes a long time to get right. Knowing what to expect helps you keep going through it because you know eventually It will change for the better. It just takes time. It takes a LOT of determination. I am hanging and pushing through and Fighting. I am taking my LIFE back.

Hope everyone is doing Great! Another day!
