Day 3-worse than day 1

[Ronda8899]

I'm on day three. I've been doing pretty good up until now. Today I'm sneezing like crazy, high anxiety, and my sciatica nerve pain is acting up. It's so infuriating that I actually needed the pills for pain and I couldn't just take them for that so now I'm stuck in severe pain. I don't know why today is worse you think it would only be getting better.

Hey, saw you struggle with sciatica pain, and as a fellow sciatica sufferer, I wanted to link to some stretches that can reaaaally help with it! I do them anytime mine acts up real bad.

You've got this, Rhonda!  It will keep getting better.
I'm only on 3 months off oxy.  I cried a lot, was mean to people, couldn't sleep...for the first several weeks.
Great advice you got here from everyone.
I just wanted to add that I started getting massages and they claim it helps rid the body of the toxins.  Not sure if it's true, but it sure helps me relax .
Hang in there.  It will get better.

RONDA!!!!

It is that Stinken-Thinken in your Head! Do not let the Bad Guy in! YOU will be able to do ALL these things AND even BETTER!

Put up those BOUNDARIES and STOP listening to Addiction. It is trying to bring YOU back..TIME & PATIENCE! TIME & PATIENCE! Over & Over Again & Again tell Yourself. Have your Family, Fiance, Any Support tell you this over & over it will take TIME to balance out and everything will FIRE back UP!

MOST of US out here can tell YOU this is so TRUE!!!

Right now you need to stick close to here and/or get to a meeting or any outside support group!

I can't even describe how miserable I am if I wanted to. I can't stop crying. All I want to do is find pills. My whole body hurts so bad. I am so depressed. I just want to be able to spend time with my family and do stuff with my fiancé and I can't. I absolutely can't stand this and I'm not feeling strong or positive at all anymore.
