A new day!

So yesterday was horrible! I hadn't slept all week and I just couldn't take it anymore. I needed to get my daughter from school and couldn't get up and do it. I had one pill left and took half of it... So disappointed but it gave my body a break from the wd's and I slept 7 hours for a change. I can understand why people have to taper because it was pretty much impossible for me to do anything after a week of wd's and no sleep. Not sure how far I set myself back but the urge to use is gone. I don't want them but yesterday I felt like I had no choice. I know I should have pushed through but mentally and physically I was done! So back on track today!

Great Job! You did it.................................You are strong and dedicated and amazing. Your done, it is all up hill now. Find a support group and good friends that can support you to stay clean. I am almost off hydrocodine, and the withdrawals were horrible at first, but each day is better, I am almost off. I am so proud of you, amazing person......Stay strong, exercise, stay busy, volunteer, play with your kids, laugh and be so happy that you are strong and amazing. I am thinking about you, and send you all my support.The worst is over and remember how strong you are. YEAH!!!!!! All my love and prayers to your continued success.

Thank you both! My DOC was lorcets and I know I could never take just one of those, I did take a half of another form of opiate and it made me sick, I had not had anything in days and it made me feel horrible. Anyway, the other half is gone and there is no turning back, gotta make it through however I can to get to my ultimate goal. I have tried every otc sleep medicine available and nothing will put me out. It is miserable. One day at a time!

Just flush the other half...just be ready cause the mental part is going to drive you insane. When you do something like this its telling your brain that its ok to take half or one, then next thing you know it your back up to your usual dose. You may crave really bad after this, maybe not but just be ready and start looking into some aftercare or make a plan for the next few days so you can get back to where you were. Just remember all it takes is that one to make you want it even more then before. I wish you luck. Much love

If you only have half a pill left just flush it and get back on the wagon.You will have no more temptations and will have to use your own determination and will to get over this.Take the vitamins and nutrients and an otc sleep aid and you will soon be at the end of the tunnel.You have got this far and can succeed and by Christmas will be evn better.Good luck and keep posting
