Day 1 WD Vicodin

This is day 1, I have been these animals (Vicodin 7.5/500) for about 7 years and originally used for back pain. Once the pain was gone I ccon't like an idiot and became addicted. I have seen a lot of money, dr's visits etc go by trying to get what I needed to feel human. I would have to take in am just to move, and of  course all through out the day to KEEP moving. I hate what they have done to me, how often I look to obtain them and the person I have become. I DON'T spend quality time with my family because I always just not in the mood. This is just not who I am, I hate who I have become and want OUT now. I am feeling a bit emotional right now and not sure why, no appetite and didn't sleep last night. I want my life back. I want to be happy doing things in every day life with those devils anymore. I just want to be ME. I know this will be the toughest thing I have ever done, but I am 42 and am ruining my life completely. I can't enter a program but I can do is maybe post here and pray to god I get better and fight for my life!  I have a horrible taste in my mouth I can't quite explain, stomach is little nasty and hands a bit shaky. Looking for advise, wisdom and a friend here to help me. I can not let anyone know this, it is my beast. I will allow others in later possibly. Is day 2-3-4- any better than 1st 24hrs? I have been drinking a lot of water and peeing a ton, is that a good thing? Need a friend :(

I promise it will get better!  I just hit day 30 and things are good...well, except for the Restless legs thing...gonna cut those legs off if they don't straighten up and let me sleep!  :)  Aftercare is a great idea.  Our brains are just messed up and wanting something we don't wanna give them.   You got a touch of that feeling last week..you know..the one where you felt good without the pills?  It will come back.

Thanks buddy need all the help I can get today. Just feel like I fell in a hole today, after walking on some good ground/attitude. I am still optimistic, I am still experiencing some WD (Sleep and a chill every so often) rest are pretty gone with exception of today. Tolerable, just annoyed today. Head down barrel  forward I guess and try and not think about it at all. Dang it.

To others watching, there is hope. I am proof after 7+  years and taking a very large dangerous dose of 10mg/500 X 15 and 20 a day at peak use. When I quit it was 5mg/325 X 10 a day.

It does get better! I was getting better at day 3, a world of difference. I have friends here, and for that I am forever grateful - Back shortly

Had a good weekend actually. Sleep is still hit and miss. I am still confident, just a little down today, and not feelin it if that makes sense. It's a long road, and once this week is over I will consider after care. Just like I said, not feeling it today...down, anxiety etc. I guess after 7 plus years  could expect this. Just wanna be well today. I felt so good at the end of last week it was amazing
