Congrats on day 2 Davidmel !! That high you are missing would have eventually turned on you.. I chased the high for a long time The only thing is I was never ever able to recapture those first times.. I was always chasing something that jus never happened no matter how many I took.. All I was doing was taking 20 to 30 pills a day to feel normal. It is amazing how much our bodies will tolerate till we stop breathing unexpectedly.. All you need to do is say you feel like you are coming down with the flu. If you are having problems with restless leg they sell a product called Hylands restful leg. it helps to calm the jumping you can get it at any drug store our buy a knock off. I pray your day goes quickly so you can get home and into a bath ! Day 2 Whoo Hooo ! lesa
Congratulations on Day 2!!! It will take a bit before you stop "missing the high". For me it was such a big part of who I was and how I functioned....it takes time to break a habit and to find a new way to live!
Be patient with yourself and it will be important to find out what will work for you as far as finding a new way of life. For many it is 12 step recovery, for others church or some kind of spirituality. But ultimately you will have to find a new way that will help you work on yourself and deal with the reasons you became addicted in the first place.
The physical really does get better you just need to ride it out. I'm not sure of your story so I can't comment on that. For me it was about 7 days and I began to turn the corner.
Keep hanging on and take care of you!
