One detail I left out!

Ok my friends it's day 8. I slept ok last night but for some reason I started grinding my teeth and it kept waking me up. I used to grind them as a child but never as an adult. It's weird but oh well. This too shall pass.  Now- time to let one more "dirty little secret" out. I'm not sure why I chose to  keep this to myself until today. I also had a Xanax addiction along with my opiates. You know  elivis?!? Pills to get moving and pills to sleep. Dangerous and stupid I know. Well 3 weeks ago today I quit Xanax ct.  As soon as my mind felt better I followed ct with opiates. I had plenty of both when I quit. I looked at my children 3 weeks ago and thought they deserve better. Heck- I deserve better. Not sure why I chose the addiction path. I have wonderful parents. Great athletic, smart, funny, sweet, GOOD kids ages 14 and 8 and a husband that is a great provider, friend, partner. I have 2 loving sisters and my brother in laws feel like real brothers to me!! What Is wrong that I'd want to numb myself from reality when my reality is so wonderful?!? Food for thought. I need to figure that out cause I'm at risk if u don't. I know that. Anyways, I wanted to come clean About the Xanax cause if I kept it to myself I could use it in the future and who'd know this difference? Well it's out there now.  Thanks for everything and I hope y'all won't think bad of ne cause I kept that little tid bit to myself until I was ready to spill it! Lol. Love y'all and happy thanksgiving!! Day 8 COMPLETELY drug free is a blessing!

Gnarly... I just went back and read your post from a few nights ago. Thank you.  My attitude towards recovery is made better everytime I talk to my friends on here. Y'all are an absolute God send and made this process easier than I had imagined. I hope I can make you proud. I hope I can make my family proud. I hope I can make my friends proud. My kids proud. Myself proud. I know I can. God bless you.

Hi friends. Day 8 is winding down. Whew what a day. It's wonderful to finally be able to eat without that urge to gag. I took 1 valerine (sp?) root pill to see if that helps with sleep. I didn't make it to the store for melatonin but maybe this will work. It said 1 to 3 tablets but I wanted to start slowly and just see. I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving.  I did but my energy ran out. Luckliy my family was fine with me taking breaks as they know the deal!  Talk to y'all soon!!

I had a problem with grinding my teeth in the early stages of WD, I think it is just a nervous twitch, probably some form of RLS or something, but after time it went away.

Thank you pillfree. I didn't grind them as much last night. I slept from 10 to 2. Up till 5 and woke up at 8. This part I'd about to get very old!! Lol. Plus I'm still waking up sweaty as heck. Oh well I guess my body is still trying to regulate. During the day I'm actually pretty good, weak as a dog but so much better than being pilled up all day. I'm on day 9 now do hopefully I won't have to deal with this too much longer!

Hello! I am outta town just checking in on my phone... all is going good, I wasn't on adderall very long so no wd or anything. Feel way better without them, a little spacey maybe. I always sleep pretty good now, deep sleep and 9 hours at a crack for some reason! Its great to come clean isn't it? Admit it, kick it, and move on! Today at 4 im in double digits, so far no cravings to speak of but im sure them will come soon enough.. I too came from a great family, but because these pills came prescribed, I didn't think of them as drugs... in the beginning I mean, I got them from other sources once my doc cut me off... often drugs start in innocense, before u know it they are controlling ur life... god bless, I will try to check in more!
