welcome and thanks for sharing the post! you will feel better and better as the days go on....just keep pushing thru! this site is awesome for support...and i agree with NoLife....aftercare is very important after the WDs are over....good luck and keep posting when you need to!
Thank you for the support... so needed right now!!!!
Thank you for your response. I am set up with an appointment with a therapist that deals with addiction. I have always got my prescriptions the right way through one doctor. He just had no idea how many I was taking because I would just withdrawal and call for my refill when the 30 days was up. At my last appointment I told him that I wanted to try to get off the Norco... so he said at the next appointment we were going to try a new non-narcotic med for my ruehmatoid arthritis. I have no other contacts to get this med so I know I can't get anymore from any other source. I live in a very rural area. Can you give me suggestions on how to get through the mental part. Right now I don't have the cravings but I know in time I will. I am worried about how to function normally again without my little energy pills. That is how they worked for me... I was able to accomplish everything and looked like superwoman.. I hope the aftercare will help with some of these emotions.... I feel ready in my heart to be done. I deserve better for myself and want to be free again!!! Thanks again for the support. jj
Hi and Welcome! So glad you got through the worst of it. As you know from reading it is more than just a physical detox, but a mental one as well. Do you have any after care of support planned? Also, you said you refill ran out. Does that mean you can't get any more? That's the biggest thing that causes us to relapse, knowing we can get more somewhere or sometime? Until we truly cut all our sources we aren't free. We can never go back...our minds don't forget where we left off. As I was told, we were cucumbers, then we were pickled. Now we are pickles and can never be cucumbers again. That means we can never be normal pill takers again. Hope to see you around more!
Congrats on your clean time and good for you, I know how hard it is. It's great to hear stories like this to give other people encouragement that it can be done.
Thank you for sharing.
