How's everyone doing today?!?

[Newmommy1207]

I'm just posting to hear how everyone detoxing is doing?!? I'm on day 9 Suboxone w/d. No sleep, and very tired but no diarrhea since yesterday morning with no Imodium! I honestly thought I would feel better by now but I started this detox with no information on how Sub works. Dumb, I know. So when I woke up day 2 and thought I was gonna die, I found this forum THANK GOD! Like many, I don't have much support. I hid my pills from everyone. Anyways...I hope everyone posts how they're doing! I can't wait to hear from everyone in a week! I bet it's a huge difference from today! Stay positive and stay strong!!

Doing good :) had kidney stone surgery, they gave me ONE lortab post recovery but I am still gonna say my clean date was last Tuesday. So what a week dealing with the stones, surgery, wds... I have been hell to be around!! But starting to feel better :)

[Newmommy1207]

I've been following your posts. That's insane! You should be very proud of yourself! I've had to carry my mom into the ER before bc she passes out in the car from pain with kidney stones. Hope you feel better!!

It has been crazy painful for sure!! I  so ready to feel good!!

I'm on day 2. Have the "flu" and cranky as all hell but otherwise I'm hanging in and hanging on. CONGRATS on. 9 days. Your doing GREAT

I'm on day 4 and must say, the crampiness is gone but the diarrhea is HORRIBLE!!!!  I had been taking two immodium since Sunday but only took one this morning and it hasn't stopped me from going. My stomach hurts and I feel exhausted. Thought I was doing so much better yesterday but now this!  How long did the diarrhea/stomach cramps last?

[Newmommy1207]

Mine lasted until yesterday. Day 8. But I think it vary's on DOC and how long you've been taking them. Just think of stomach issues as a way of your body cleansing out the drugs! Sounds gross but it's true. So every time I sneeze or run to the bathroom, I know my body is ridding itself of the crap I put in it!!!

I am here thinking about y'all, and sending you strength vibes,

Roads ahead are bright, if you stay the course, I promise!
There will be ups and downs, the more time passes the more ups and less downs until all the downs are upside down.
:o)
keep your eye on the goal, and stay hydrated, and when you can't eat, drink ensure or something comparable.

You will be out in the light with me hugging trees soon, I promise.
hugs,
Lily

Heeeeey team! :) Well 3pm starts day 8 for me!! And I am pumped!! The first 48 hrs were awful, then day 3 and 4 got a little better. For me the sweatiness, skin crawls, and minimal sleep hung around the longest. I still get waves of sweatiness/skin crawls and my tummy was a little upset yesterday and today. I took 2 Immodium yesterday but none today and I'm doing great! Oh and when I say "waves" they are more like little itty bitty tiny splashes and very do-able, so don't let that discourage any of you! Once you get past 48 hrs it should be downhill! Today I cleaned by house for 5 hrs (with an hour break to catch up on the RHOOC:). Man this house is sparkling and smells so good! It's so funny because I used to have to take a pain pill (or 2 or 3) to clean even just the bathroom. I thought I needed them to clean or to do anything! I used to hide one on my nightstand so I could take it before I got out of bed every morning. Now here I am, and only 8 days in, better than I ever was when taking pills!! What a feeling!! I've also found music to be incredibly motivating! I've jammed out for the past 3 days and it has really helped to keep going.

Oh and congrats to everyone on their clean time! Even 24 hours is HUGE when someone is coming off of their DOC and making the decision to change their life. It's amazing to watch lives change on this forum and to be a part of such a strong group of newbies that are sticking together and kicking this habit!

Oh gosh, I just got done throwing up and am still so nauseas!  Ugh!  Day 4 here. I feel like **** today!  So discouraging

[HappyDays2Come]

Stick it out!! Don't be discouraged and just remember that those nasty pills are leaving your body! Stay strong and remember why you decided to quit in the first place. Make a list of all the awful/horrible things that you've become because of pills and read it when you get weak. It will help!! You are doing awesome and you've been supportive to so many on here! Keep it up and keep posting. We need you on the team :)

I'm staying on the team, don't you worry about that but it's definitely one of the hardest things I've EVER dealt with. All of the GI upset and now crying uncontrollably over missing my mama - she passed away 3 1/2 years ago today and she was always my biggest supporter when I got down and she has missed so much of my sons life and I just want my mama sooooooo bad. She had just turned 66 when she died after suffering so bad from complications of diabetes and other health issues. I just feel like **** today and feel like I'm on the emotional roller coaster - just wish my mama was here to help me through all of this. But I'll get there. One day at a time.

I was feeling so great Saturday! Then the kidney stone and so forth. I agree days 2 and 3 were the worst. Was starting to feel normal. Can't wait to bounce back from surgery. I guess my quitting happened in Gods timing? I counted up my scripts from er, dr visit, and surgery. I would have had access to over a hundred oxy's/ lortabs. I didnt fill one of them, ripped and threw them all away :) I am serious about taking my life back, can't wait to feel better

[Newmommy1207]

My legs and RLS are KILLING ME today! It's the worst day of that so far for me. I've tried everything everyone has suggested. I guess I have to just surrender to no sleep for awhile. Rolling up on day 10!!!
