12 days opiate free, having cravings, could use some love
12 days opiate free. 4 yrs on 120mg Vicodin a day from Failed back surgery. Went cold turkey and detoxed at home. I told my prescribing doctor no more. Told him after 5 days clean. I'm at the point where the cravings are killing me. Suggestions? Also not sleeping so good, maybe 3 hrs a night. Not enough for a single mommy of two awesome boys (my reasons for quitting) What do you have for me people? I need your strength and support. Xoxo much love.......

Agreed, tyrosine has been helping me stay active although I'm 6 days behind you. Try to force yourself to get up and walk around the house or something. Excercise could speed up your body healing process. Congrats on 12 days you're inspirational :)
Congratulations on 12 days clean, im getting some days of energy from l-tyrosine ( not to be taken with SSRI meds ) ive been taking it for about 13 days now. Available from health food shop.
Well done again : )

How good does it feel to say you havent had any in 12 days!!!! Thats amazing!! U r doing great!!!! Im about 5 weeks clean and to sit here and look back on each week leeding up to now i feel like i was a different person each week.... All the highs and lows my mind and body went thru. It gets easier please just believe that!!! I feel normal again!!!! My smiles are back and so is my laugh. Its just today we have to fight for!!! Life is soooo much better being sober!!!

Great job on your 12 days clean! Keep reaching out when you need to. Try to keep yourself and your mind occupied. It really helps to get through the cravings. Are you going to AA/NA meetings? That might be something to consider. They help a lot of people get through the cravings and learn new coping skills. Hang in there and keep pushing forward. Things will continue to get better and better.
First...congrats on the 12 days! HUGE accomplishment!
Your doing right by reaching out on the forum since you have cravings. Just look at how far you've come and realize that giving in to the cravings will be throwing all that away!
Keep up the good work!
