[Jimmy1975]

Hi all , well today is day 17 and I have no physical W/Ds but the anxiety still hangs on pretty strong ! I rather go threw Navy BUDS in Coronado then this **** ! Hey people can you do me a favor and tell me Approximately how long you had to suffer with this anxiety ? Thank you in advance ...Jim

Working out really helps get rid of your anxiety for a while. I quit painkillers in late june, took the suboxone road and now I am on nothing. I still have the horrible anxiety and depression. A lot times the anxiety keeps me from going out. So I go lift weights and run and I usually feel better. Listening to pist music about overcoming and rising above the influence also helps too.

LOL , I just came back and read this from a 3 mile run ........I know that helps trust me ..Thank you all  Jim

Hey Jimmy.... I am STILL having some anxiety and I've been CLEAN off of Norco for 36 days...maybe it's just ME but when I find myself anxious it seems to help me if I get out of the house and go for a walk... a little exercise can go a long way with helping the anxiety... Hang in there.. you're DOING GREAT!!!
