Wwll done!  I'm on day 8, and it DOES get easier as you go along.  I'm like you, just taking it one day at a time..... that's all we can do.

Hang in there my friend and take care - drink plenty of fluids also.

Very very happy for your decision to stop.  Yes it will take a while to start feeling a bit better, remember you didn't become addicted overnight.

Keep pushing through it and updating us and we'll help any way we can.

Thank you for all the support. Its day 2 now, I am pretty sick right now, I haven't left my house in like 2 days, and I am antsy but have no energy, and it hurts just to move. I hate the mental part of this more than the physical part. THe depression, anxiety, bad feelings, I hate them, Anyways, i'm still just taking it one day at a time. Today, I have the day off and am just at home, tryin to get better. THanks everyone.

HI and welcome to the forum ...im happy tp here your taking your life back it will be one of the best decisions of your life...keep in mind this is 1/3 physical and 2/3 mental so go into it with a win win attitude ....attitude is everything this is a battle one or lost in ones own mind ...for the next few days get comfortable with the saying.."you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile" by now you probably understand what im saying as the withdrawals build you need to use your symptoms to strengthen your will to do this
there are a lot of remedies out there but a good long hot soak helps a lot of the symptoms I found this to be the best overall therapy...keep posting and reading the posts YOU CAN DO THIS it just takes some perseverance ...good luck and God bless....Gnarly

I am so proud of you girl for choosing to get clean.  I know you feel rotten but this wont last forever.  Take some warm baths for the aches.  Bananas are good if your legs hurt.  Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids.  Keep us updated on how you are feeling.  Lean on us as that is what we are here for...........sara

Congratulations to you. I got off oxys -- i have 7 months clean time. cant believe i did it. i had a 3 year daily oxy addiction - eating them every 3 hours for at least 3 years. I came here in the beginning ALL THE TIME for huge support. I did a long slow taper off, it took a while to finally cold turkey. I feel great finally. i do go to NA and AA mostly although im a drug addict i prefer AA, im doing the deal and it's working. Good luck to you and God bless!
