Addicted to tramadol/oxy. First time

[PositivePolly1988]

I have been taking about 8 tramadol and a few oxy the last year and tomorrow is my first day with nothing. I'm ready to beat this. I have all the Thomas recipe suggestions minus the benzos. Any suggestions? I'm real nervous. Terrified actually.

That's perfectly ok. You do what makes you feel comfortable. I have been though it with the lope to. For me to start feeling better was about a week, but to actually start feeling like myself again was about 2-3. Everyone one is different though. Exercise is a great way to get your bodies natural good feeling juices to get pumping again. You can also take a multivitamin to help your body heel. Hope you are feeling a little better each day. I know it might seem extremely hard but you CAN get though this. I kept a journal of how I was feeling everyday and kept telling myself when this is over I will never have to go though this again. Being off pills is the most amazing feeling in thebworld!!!

What an awesome decision you have made to quit!!!  It will be one of the best decisions in your life!!!  
So glad you got the stuff for the Thomas recipe!  And you got lots of good advice above too!!!  It was true for me too that even though WD is hard it is so much better than I had it made out to be in my mind!   I did LOTS of crossword puzzles, read hundreds of posts on here, watched lots of movies and took lots of walks with the dog!  Even though it was cold out when I detoxed too it was still really, really good for me to be outside even if only for 10 minutes!!  
And keep on posting!  I posted at least once a day for my first week and it helped so much!!!  You will find lots of support and wisdom here!!!
Hurray for you!!!!    ♡
