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.

Thanks again for the support. I actually took the day off of work today. I figured,  my health is worth more then anything....my boss will get over it.  Last night was really hard.  I woke up every 2 hours and my legs don't stop moving. You think by monday I will be ok? That's the 7/8th day.

Hi there! I used to take 30mg Roxys (although not as much, and i never snorted them)and I also live in Vegas! You will have a rough few days, but you can do it! Just hang in there and try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Remember to drink lots of fluids and take vitamins to keep up your strength. Although it may be tough, hopefully work will keep your mind busy and you won't just lay and watch the clock. Keep posting your progress. There is lots of great support here!
