Day 5 off norco and blew it today..will I go through withdrawls agin?

[Jellybean1134]

Well I went cold turkey off a 40mg-60mg norco habit. Today was day 5 and I blew it! I changed pocketbooks and 3 7.5's were stashed away in there.. Well, I had a moment of weakness and I took them. I feel horrible and so guilty. I was doing great and so proud of myself. I have no other pills, I can't believe these were in my purse since I always kept track of my norco stash. Anyway, I'm going to move forward, but my question is will I go through withdrawls all over again? I really can't deal with starting from day 1 again, I'm so mad at myself right now. Thanks for listening and for your support.

Hey Jelly,

I just did the exact same thing.  ugh, right!?  So, yeah, I was set back to about what it was like at the beginning of day three I guess... it's been a crappy day.  

Hang in there though, and otoh's right, don't beat yourself up... I'm plenty disappointed in myself but I know you and I will both pick ourselves back up now that that is out of the way! :)  

The important thing to remember is that at this point you haven't completely destroyed your detox plan... it's just a set back... power through the mild w/d coming and keep reminding yourself of how you were feeling just prior to finding those three little darling devils! hah.

hey don't beat up on yourself... keep your momentum. I was so miserable on day 5, and I had to go to work I took a hydro.( I'm coming off suboxone) I was so miserable anyway that it didn't seem to matter. I just kept plugging , I don't really know if it helped ,or hurt, but I don't feel like it prolonged anything.it is what it is . keep the end goal in sight. I'm on day 17.  thank-god. keep up the good work

Sorry to hear this :(

After my first detox I used at the end of day 5.  I didn't have WD again but the mental was a beast.  Everyone is different, try not to beat yourself up!

over the past 5 days, i realized i forgot how to live without pills. will that eventually pass the longer i'm off them? i just want to be my old self again.

For me once I was already in withdraw and relapsed I would go through withdraw again but you may not either so either way I hope you don't! Keep your head up we all relapse just stay strong and you can do this!
