Get me out of my head please.

Good day all.
Sun is shining. A plus.
I found this place. A plus.
Pain is persistant but more tolerable than I thought possible. 5 on the pain scale most days. But I am stronger than I know. I want free of this trap desperately.
Stay positive. Stay busy. Focus on good
STAY OUT OF MY OWN HEAD. not a safe place right now. I lie to myself. Or my addiction does. Either way best to keep a wide birth of my thoughts for a bit longer.
Anxiety high.
Restless arms and legs. And this weird aching pain tingling thing in my nail beds. What is THAT about. Comes and goes but I know it is some how related.
I had hoped it would be easier by now. But I struggle to stay persistant. No alcohol to numb the oxy withdrawal. My brains new trick. Well if no pills then booze will help. The pain. Anxiety. Withdrawal. Shut up brain. You are wrong.
Argh.
Keep on keeping on.
Living hour by hour today. Better than minute by minute I suppose. So. Another plus.
Give me strength.

Hi and Welcome

Keep up the good work on getting FREE.. You can do it.

I'm in the same place as you day 2 day withdrawals off of Codeine.

Look up the Thomson Receipt for things you should be taking to help easy your withdrawal symptoms. There are lots of over the counter vits and other things in there you can get to help.

Make sure to keep up your liquids.

I'm praying for you that you too can get through this and find a clean and sober life.

Keep us updated with your progress!!
