Day one
Hi everybody. I have a question. I am going cold turkey off of a big norco habit. Today is my first day, I am scared but I am so ready to stop living this way. My question is this...I have about 7 Ultram and about 10 darvocet. Would taking one of those per day help to ease my withdrawal symptoms? If so, which one would be better to take. I'm afraid if the withdrawals get too bad I will return to my old ways. Thanks for any advice.
Thanks Mom. Every time it gets bad, I keep telling myself it will get better.
I'm a big reader and I figured getting into a good book would take my mind off things, but my eyes are so blurry I can't see to read. I keep coming here every few minutes and reading. Thanks again.

I had the chills, sweats, tremors, dizziness, nausea and diarrhea for the first 1-1/2 to 5 days. But I swear, it gets better.

It has now been 26 hours since my last pill. Not feeling great but I am determined to stick this out! I am hot and cold at the same time and haven't been able to eat anything. Back2me...there is no way I am leaving my house for the next couple of days either, I looked in the mirror and I look like death right now. We can do this!!!
In the middle of day two for me and it is way worse than day one. No way I am getting out of the house
today. Just hope dAy 3 is better for me.

Well you and I sound like we are in the same age bracket. But I don't have any grandchildren, but all my kids are grown.
First of all, I also live in a very tiny rural town and community NA meetings are NOT an option for me. My secret is very, very buried and I understand your need to keep your addiction and WD out of sight.
Therefore, use this site for support. It has been amazingly helpful for me.
I see lots of people post about aftercare, but there is no way for me to get aftercare because the only NA meeting is in my very small town and the only other meeting is in a town 2/1-2 hours away.....and I can't do that.
So I am relying on this site to help me beat my demons.
Keep posting, we'll help you and stay strong. You are not alone.

I am looking forward to a life without pills. My daughter wanted to bring my granddaughter over for a visit, any time she wants to do that I have to calculate if I will have any pills that day or not. If I wont have pills, I make up some excuse for her not coming over...what kind of Grandma/Mom is that??? A bad one. I can't wait for the day that pills no longer run my life.
