Day 5--- meh !
Day 4 was LONG! Stomach discomfort, the spins, etc.......Read the OBITS again, did some laundry and cleaned my sons hiking boots.....it rained here with some Thunderstorms yesterday....very unusual for Southern California---but that was actually really relaxing listening to the rain fall along with the booms of thunder!
I'M NOT KNOWN FOR BREVITY....
Day 5 ...still have the spins and a killer headache. I took some Mortin and that helped a bit.....I think I'm done with the OBITS! Going to venture to the market later.
SERIOUSLY - I may sound like I think this detox for me is a joke.....it's not ! I have felt like total crap for what seems like forever! The days have crawled by....even with my best efforts to distract and try to keep busy.....each day it took every ounce of will power to do something, anything to keep going.
SO in trying to get through this....I've tried to apply some humor to my journey by sharing some of the absolutely true and bizarre things I've done....in the hopes that those might help someone...even for a few minutes.
Tomorrow morning I'll have the stress of going back to work, unsure I'm ready but knowing I have to push through.
This community is amazing! It has helped tremendous....from gut wrenching to victorious posts ..... those are and continue to be my inspiration - F * * K YOU OPIODS!!!! I'm BETTER than you!!!! I CAN conquer you !!!!
Thanks --- T.

Hi Krissy!
Yea I've been able to eat.....surprisingly so! Since I've NEVER had to, nor do I ever plan to detox again, I'm just trying to take it in stride. Every person is different and so are the symptoms , time line and severity!
Made it to the store earlier and while there broke out in a serious sweat! While that was happening , I didn't panic but a sense of accomplishment flowed through me!
Thanks for the support.....and to everyone else here too!

Are you or have you been able to eat? I remember nearly passing out and being dizzy quite a few times well going through detox. I figured it was all part of the detox until my husband told me I hadn't eaten in days except a few pretzels and yogurt. It was hard but I had to force my self to eat. I did feel better to. But I could only stomach tiny bits at a time or id just vomit.

I wish I had a banner w/ huge font that says:"Newcomers, you are supposed to feel like utter sh!t,with the energy of a boneless chicken, the emotions of a juvenile Charles Manson, the fortitude of a rock." In other words, you are exactly on target.
In all seriousness, in the small amount of posts that I've read of yours, it's obvious that you have a lot of personality. What a cryin shame that opiates cloaked that for so long. It's that way for a lot of us: so talented and interesting, and we've numbed it all. I bet there are lots of peeps that can't wait to see that personality come on back.
If you want to know where the meetings are around here, private msg me, and I'll be happy to tell you. Oh, and don't think about work tomorrow. Tomorrow doesn't exist yet. It will only make you more anxious! As rough as it is, stay in the now.
Great job.
