Desperate For Advice and HELP

[justme2262]

I am a Narcotic addict. I detoxed once about 10 months ago with the help of suboxin. I relapsed about 2 months into my recovery. I decided it was time to stop and went cold turkey I was half way into day 3 when I made the stupid choice to take a pill. Im so afraid that I cant clean up but I am so ashamed at myself for using and lying to my husband and daughter about my drug use. My question is was the worst of the withdrawl over if I made it to day 3?Im terrified that I wont beat this, Im not strong AT ALL!! If I made it to day 3 was the worst of the physical symptoms over?  Help please, I really need help.

I'm on day 4 off of Vics and I can tell you honestly that day 3 (yesterday) was the hardest for me.  I still feel flu like but I'm better than yesterday and I ate today (something other than a small bit of soup) for the first time.  The pain in my legs and back is gone, stomach cramps just about gone, I just feel feverish and kinda tired.  Trust me - I'm happy to have this compared to yesterday.  At this pace, I should feel pretty good tomorrow.  If you're on day 3 you are on the back end of the worst part.  Hang in there!

Take some deep breaths. I wish there was a way to tell you that you can do this without w/d but its not going to happen. Plan on having flu like feelings x10. But you can get through it. Did you get your pills from a doc or on the street?

By the end of 3rd to 5th day it was almost over.

Good Morning Just Me, I am Montanagurl.  I know exactly what you are talking about.  I think all of us here go through the thoughts of not being strong.  Dont beat yourself up to  bad.  You are more stronger than you give yourself credit for.  I have done the same thing as you and this is my story- i had a relatively good night and when i woke up this morning i didnt hurt to much and told myself that i didnt need or want to take a pill because i have been taking 1 more pill a day than i should and so if i continue than i will be in the dog house again about7 days before my pills are refilled, anywho, what did I do?  as soon as i had my coffee and morning cigarette, i opened ny bottle and popped a pill.  i am not strong i always tell myself that next time i get my refill that i will take them as prescribed and not do this to myself every month.  but, as i put in my threads in the past, and you may know this, the pain is all to real and hurts so bad that on somedays i am bed ridden (spell?)  so i take the extra pills to be comfy but wind up hurting at the end anyway!            anywho, the reason for my blabbering is that i completely understand what you are going through!.......................til next time

You can do this. Day 4 was the hardest for me, now 13 days clean. Still have low engery and sleep is tuff somethime but it is getting better and it will for you. Have you thought of getting outside help?
Have you talked to your doc? 1 day, 1 hour, 1 min. at a time. So figure about 6 to 7 days
you are 1/2 way there!!!!
