26 hrs into detox

[katieblue994]

It has been 26 hrs since my last vicoden 7.5. I took maybe 5-6 a day max and more times than not only 4. Not to minimize at all. The withdrawals are such fatigue that its unbearable.. I keep moving and pray alot. By his stripes I am healed over and over again is my prayer. Now nobody in my family knows I have a problem because I am a grandmother who has it all together. I just need those pills to give me energy alot of times to do all the things expected of me. I feel overwhelmed by expectations of what has to be done daily. No one knows the thruth but me of what I endure however I am responsible for the addiction I created. I hope my next post says I am day 10..God Bless You All..

I have to throw my 2cense in about after care it is so important and as u no by now our secrets keep us sick.I will say this people use to tell me that at meetings the most important person in the room is the new commer I never understood why but I do now the most impoetant thing in my life is my recovery and the second most important is helping others in there recovery because by helping others it helps me if that makes sense.You r doin great keep it up and please please please look at some sort of after care.Wow I never thought of all people I would sound like gnarly or sara or lol I guess I finally got it.lol

i have to agree with the advice to get aftercare. I know u dont want anyone to know, but i can tell u from experience that i could only do it for so long on my own.  Please try NA or AA. You have come to far to have a split second fleeting thought ruin this for you. The groups can make u stronger and learn to cope with the urges. Going to the first meeting is tough, but SO worth it. I physically and mentally feel better after i go. just keep an open mind.

Hey Katie...so good to see you made it to the other side...most of this is behind you now its just the mental part you have to deal with now and it can be just as challenging...aftercare is the key to long term success so plug in somewhere it will help with the days ahead
good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

Yeah!!! I'm soooo proud of you!!! I've cut back from about 10 10/650 a day (That I buy from a friend) to 3 or 4 a day!!! I hope after a week or so I can cut down again...I'm already going through the withdrawals just from that cut back so I don't think the others will be that bad...Since I already feel like crap!!!

Good morning my friends. Today is a good day. I feel pretty good. I have not used pills since August 14th. Things are still hectic in my life and somethings will never change but I have changed. Went to the doctor about my blood sugar and now take pills twice a day and injections twice a day and check blood sugar 3 times a day.. Spend most of the day poking myself.  Just wanted to leave a foot note about the pills. When you take them for years as I have they hide symptoms sometimes of underlying issues and because pain pills take away the pain knowing when something is wrong with you gets harder and goes undetected. I struggle everyday every minute sometimes..But I am free..Glory to God I am Free
