Cold Turkey from Hydrocodone

[PinkStars07]

I am so glad I found this forum.  I have been looking for one but all the ones I have found have been dated back to 2010 or even older!  I was on the hydrocodone bandwagon for almost 2 years.  Taking 1-2 a day.  Sometimes 3.  I know that is not a lot, but I came to realize that it is a problem.  This is my thrid time trying to detox but this time, I am determined. I am only on day 2, but I dont feel that bad....I hope it wont get worse.  You guys are wonderful with all the support.  I cant believe what a grip this has had on me.  I remember taking them once in awhile and then it turned into everyday.  I know I have to get better, I have a 2 year old daughter and she is my everything and my focus on getting better.  I have had panic attacks about my body shutting down due to taking those, I know I am being a lunatic, but I think that is what I needed.  My only fear, I have a dr appointment tomorrow for a bruised cartliege in my ribs, if they offer me something, what do I say?  I dont want it know I am/was an abuser, however, this pain I have *****.  Again, thank you all for the support.  God Bless

I wish you lived closer.  You could come and clean mine.
You are doing great and yes the mental is really hard.  You really have to want this and you need lots of support.

I do have to say, my house has never been cleaner lol.  Along with movies, I've been cleaning and organizing my house today.  Not much else to do when it's cold and rainy.  Just trying to keep busy!

Day 5!!!!!   Physically I'm starting to feel better, now the mental is taking over...grrrr.  Very stressed and short fused today'.  Trying to occupy myself which is hard since the weather is crappy today.  Been watching Happy Gilmore...always good for a chuckle

Thanks Pat.  I know I just got to take deep breaths when I feel myself getting angry.  I'm trying to eat, appetite just isn't really there, but I am eating and its home cooked meals...keeps me occupied.  I am drinking water and Gatorade though.  I am so determined to get through this!!

Yeah, think long and hard before you speak, lol.  You may say something you regret.  Make sure you are drinking lots and lots of fluids and eating healthy.  It really does help with the mood swings.
