Detoxing from Oxy while at work? Day 1 :(

I have a huge oxycodone habit and I hope posting here helps with me get through the detox process.  I was taking about 12 30mg Roxys per day for the past 2 years.  Unfortunately I preferred to snort them and honestly I think that I’m more addicted to that then anything.  The feeling that I got from the actual snorting sensation is very addictive.  Anyways, I’m attempting to start my detox today.  I took 1 subutex today, which helped a bit.   Starting tomorrow, I will not be taking anything.   The other unfortunate part – I cannot miss work.  So, I have Imodium and 800mg IB. I figure if I can make it to Friday then I have the weekend, by Monday the 7th, I will be decent.   I’m a 33yo male.  Does anyone have anything they can add as far as getting through the withdrawals while working?  I’m really worried about the energy part of it.  I appreciate any feedback.  Thank you.

Well.. I have 51 minutes to go until I get to leave work.  Just when I feel ok for a second, all of the sudden I get a wave of hell hits me.  Thanks again for all the comments and support... it really helped me get thru the day,

Doesn't mean much now, but just think of the stories you'll be able to tell. I did a couple of things during my days in detox hell, and when I look back I have to laugh. I've posted a couple of my "adventures in hell".  
If you can, keep your sense of humor - it will be as important as anything else during this process.

Haha, keep up that attitude and you will be fine.
I know a few people that detoxed at work.  We formed a Secret Detoxers Club.  We told one girl just to hide behind the filing cabinet.  We made up fake guns to aim at people that annoyed us.  It just went on and on but it was fun and it helped a few people through working while detoxing.  
Good luck and Keep Posting
