[BlotOutTheSun]

Hi all todays day 5, havent had any bumps in the road like last time, im legittimately clean this time, last night sucked my arms and legs ached and i took some aleve and xanaflex and it didnt touch it, but when i went to bed i took tylenol pm and was out in 30 and didnt get up til 8 i was so happy i didnt wake at 4 again lol, hope you all are having a great day today, i may feel kinda crappy, but im happy ive accomplished 5 days, hopefully the physical toture will be over soon, hot baths do seem to help, while your in the tub lol

sometimes it takes ruining your life before you realize how fed up you are with it, sorry bout your ski trip, i love skiing, you can do it just keep it up, whenever you gets all the muscles aches and pains just imagine you had a very strenous workout at the gym and your sore from it lol, anything to get you through, stay strong, i dont know much bout norcos, but we all can quit anything if we try hard enough

GOOD LUCK

Ruined my ski trip with the family.  Now I think when it arrives I can say "NO THANKS!" 2nd day c/t from norco's 10...I'm tired from the ruined holidays looking for the next delivery!  Thanks for all the messages today...makes me stronger

even if you are confronted, jus dont even consider it, it feels so good to just say no, if only id known that before i got started, i had no idea how addictive these pills where when i first starting taking them, if i did id never took one lol, keep it up, i love hearing everyone success stories

Hey this must be the day for temptation. I got a phone call too. I said no. but it made me  sort of hyperventilate then I got a stomachache. My mind started going so I jumped on here. Holy cow. I though I was so far from that gripping temptation. Okay I feel better, but am going sledding with a little buddy at Buffallo Bills old hunting lodge. No phone there.

Hey great job on 5 days!!  I am at 13 today and feeling so much better!!  Day 4 was the hardst!  I was having a total melt down and in severe pain!  My pain was 10 now I would say 6!!  It gets better!  Day 7 sucked to just trying to figure out who I am with out my best friends!!  Now I am liking the new me!!  You will get better!!  Hang in there!

[BlotOutTheSun]

confronted again this time on the phone, told em i quit 5 days and i dont want anymore, today must be the day im being tested, keep em coming i can do this all day long, my mind is made up b4 they even ask

[BlotOutTheSun]

thanx i was so scared of the day i would be confronted with one, i think it felt better to turn it down than if id took it, i know the w/ds may not start over completey but i dont want to relive any of these w/ds plus taking it would have caused me such guilt and depression, which most of dont think about til weve already took it yunno, i think im finally making my way down the r2r

Great attitude!  You will get it done because you want to and you know you are worth it.  I fought cravings hard on about days 6-9 . They are still in the back ground but the memories of "hell week" are stronger.

[BlotOutTheSun]

when my addiction was right in my face my mind started racing, thinking well one cant hurt, but ive come to far to turn back, it really boosted my confidence level tremendously, finally i believe in myself and saw that i can do this, just got to stay strong and fight off the thoughts, imtired next time ones in front of you just dont take it and see how good you feel about it, it makes quitting so worth it, i already feel like im rebuilding my self-esteem, im so F***ING determined to get through this

[Imtired]

great job Blot!  I hope I can do the same!  

[BlotOutTheSun]

omg my co-worker just laid a 10 right in front of me and asked me what it was she didnt know, i told her what it was and told her to get it away from me, ive come to far to give in now, first time since c/t ive had one right in front of me, and normally id asked if i could have it or buy it, god it felt great to just hand it back to her, that i think was a big step for me, actually turning 1 down

GOOD LUCK TO ALL
CONGRATS ON DAY 11 TRAVEL!!!!!!!!!

[traveladdict]

Blot congrats on day 5. Almost through "hell week" great job.
Imtired great job on day three the psychical part is almost over for you also, keep fighting the fight.  Today is day 11 now for me and the first time I have gone back to my office I feel great and can stay on task for once.  You all hang in there I never thought I could feel so good without pills  I pm hop yesterday and again today I hope he doing ok.  He was having some big personal issues and I sure hope he was able to work them out.

has anyone heard from hopsing94 today? he's also on day 5

[BlotOutTheSun]

thanx i feel certain i have this beat this time around, i also think the thomas recipe helped alot, over the month of december and my several times ive quit ive gathered most the items and they do seem to make it easier, and your right i definatley dont wanna go through the first 3 days again anymore, i wouldnt even take a 5mg at this point, im sticking to aleve, xanaflex, l-tyrosine, and whatever other OTCs that seem to help

[Clamity2]

You are doing great!  Yes the phsyical part will be over very soon. Is'nt it insane that we sometimes use again and do the first 5 days over. Wow. Thats what I change my using thoughts to. UMMMM do I want to do the first 3 days again. NO WAY  
I'm so happy for you. Keep up the good work.

[BlotOutTheSun]

keep it up, the end of day 4 may be rough, but just fight through it, just think of what body builder say if it dont hurt you arent trying hard enough lol, stay strong ill be here if ya need me

[Imtired]

I was thinking about you this am. I'm finishing up day 3 on my way to day 4.  Not feeling bad, but not really ready to jump and run.  It's really cold here today, for Tx anyway, so that dosen't help matters.  Makes me want to stay under the blankie. I'm very happy for you making it to day 5!  Take care and post soon.
