4th day off...this is my breaking point...

Ah...vicodins. Nasty things. Sooo sick. weak. nauseous. Feel like I'd trade my soul almost...for one. HATE myself for feeling this way...scared.

I always jump off at this point...gotta go on..I've been here. don't want this again. But the PAIN.....

Trying.

Keep the faith! You're doing what you need and want to do and we're proud of your decision! It's does get better, I'm on day 7 today after taking Oxy's HCL at 15mg a pop and my norm were between 5-6 a day. Are you taking supplements and drinking a lot of fluids? I'm rooting for you! Keep me posted!

You guys are the kindest people. I feel so emotional. THANKS to all of you. I gotta keep going. I know.

Fluids, are mostly gatorade and monster drinks...This is really what is crunch time! God I don't want to fail!

You know, I wanna be like you guys! I want to see the world clear...not need a pill for EVERYTHING I do..It feels so funny. I actually do see that i don't..! wild.

Then, after this I have another beast i REALLY want to kill: my 5 a day advian diet...ugh.

Ohhh Watch the Monster drinks..I had anxiety to the moon for a long time..Besides the Dones it was the benzo & adderral too. I had to stay away from all stimulants..They seem to have given me more gitters and made my kidneys hurt...You just hang tight..I know you will..Hey are you taking 5 advian a day???

You're in the "thick" of it....tie a knot and hang on.......if you give in....you'll just have to do this AGAIN.....hr by hr.....it DOES get better.  If you don't feel like doing much with your "body"......keep your "mind" busy, watch movies, youtube funnies, check our Jeff Dunham and his ventriloquist humor.....he's an absolute HOOT.....just doing anything to keep your mind off the "battle in your head".......

Here's a few ditties:

"There is NEVER a good time to quit, only the time YOU MAKE to quit."

"If we don't have time to "be sick", we must take the take to get well".

You're doing it........keep talking to us......we're holding you up!

You certainly are! I joined here in Feb of this year right after my last BAD withdrawl. I knew I needed to stop this insanity.

Yes, by prescription, I take 5 2mg adivan a day...but I have for years...so it almost feels like they work for an hour and then nothing.

I went to a methadone clinic last July, and that's when they said it would poison me if I took it...OH I was so depressed. Like my only hope I thought. I knew i couldn't do 2 w/ds at once...

But, I know I will always need something for anxiety...just have natural nerves and panic attacks.

I like poems like this as well, I have read 1 about meth..How are you doing? day 3 and 4 are worst for me and as you can see, I cannot sleep...after midnight. Still got more coming I know, but this time I'm trying more than ever...

You ARE going to get thru this...I promise. It seems like you won't at this point, but you're at the thick of it...keep pushing on! Dont give up!! I know where you are...the point that you worry about never taking another pill...but the worry will subside...and the thought of taking another pill will soon make you sick! Honestly...it does get better. The word "time" used to make me ill...but now it is my friend! And soon it will be yours too! Dont give up...please don't! You will be surprised at what you can do my friend...sheer willpower and the desire to be clean can overcome all those feelings of "just one more". In the back of your mind you have to remember what lies ahead.....FREEDOM!! I wish you the best of luck!! Keep rockin it....you got this...even if you don't know it!!

LOL!  I lived on Immodium.  I know how rough you are feeling and I never ever want to do that again.   Pill dreams s.u.c.k.   Those are normal.  Its not the melatonin.  Here soon you are going to wake up and feel like you were given a second chance.  Its right there within reach now.  You are doing fantastic.  Hang in there!
