Day 5 C/T off Oxy

[twolve]

Today is Day 5 for me and aside from not being able to sleep past 530-600 am, the physical withdrawals are almost gone. I have shared how I believe being mentally prepared for this is almost the full battle. i remember when i was using if i knew i didnt have the money for one day or just couldnt find one, it would be the worst day possible. Since I decided I "wanted" to quit ct i can honestly say i havent experienced anything nearly that bad. when i sit down i have noticed i will tap my leg, but i dont have any flu-like symptoms and the mental side has gotten better somewhat. i havent even thought about calling anyone, i deleted phone numbers, and ignored calls from people i knew were calling me to buy one. it wasnt even that hard for me to do,,i guess my point this morning is that if you really want this, you can do it. think about how long you suffered living off these pills..are you telling me you cant handle 5-7 days of flu-like symptoms? thats why this truly is a mental battle..if you tell yourself your about to battle flulike symptoms it is something you certainly can handle..drink gatorade, eat fruit, take vitamins..aminos..maybe even some tylenol pm or something to sleep..anyway my girlfriend is coming today and i am proud to say that i feel almost normal..not quit normal..but not like i was a few days ago..good luck everyone!

I have not actually had to turn one down in person yet, but im not sure if that will even have to happen because you know how secretive people are about their pills and nobody is willing to give one away lol..my girlfriend being in town for a week i feel will be more help than i can imagine..obviously with her here i wont have any opportunities to cave and that will put me at almost 2 weeks when she leaves..i just cant wait until my bed feels so comfortable again, naturally this time, and i can sleep till 10 am if i wanted to..thats the only thing that worries me, because my gf is gonna be here and im off work for the week shes here and im gonna be up around 530..that kinda ***** but oh well..good luck to you guys, you can def do it, but you have to want to

i think that was partly my problem, i didn't prepare mentally. i never quit before or ran out of pills so i didn't know what to expect. you're doing awesome. getting healthy really  helps. good luck to you.

Good 4 U.  My battle was vicoden and i dont really know if its that much of a difference or not.. Today is my week without. And man i sure would love to get high, but as you said this is a mental battle.  And i know about the phone calls.  My worse is over only at night i cant sleep cause my legs are achy and i toss and turn, but that will be gone soon to.  At first for me it was the hardest thing i have ever done.  Its like these lil demons are everywhere.  I am offered them every day, but i have stayed strong and said no.  You are right this can be done.  I think im gonna buy me a bottle of unisom sleeping pills this weekend and give them a try..
