Feeling a little depressed

[catlover8]

I know it is silly cause I haven't started detox yet. That will be Thursday. But I felt a little depressed today thinking about all the changes that I have made. I am scared of what is to come. How sick I will feel. I got the stuff for the Thomas Recipe today. Hope it helps. I have no way of getting pills, so I cannot go back now. I am just plain scared and sad it had to come to this. I am still assured that I made the right decision by giving up my sources. I think it might hit me a little harder tomorrow or Monday cause I get a little depressed those days on a usual day. Love you all! Thank you for all your support so far. I could have and honestly would have never done this without you. You inspired me. I will keep reading and keep posting until my fingers turn blue. Thursday is D Day!

I am going to go to the grocery store today and get healthy foods. I am going to clean my house, so I have a clean environment to detox in.

Cat,

although the WD's are very very difficult to go through, it's not like what you see on TV.  Its the very bad case of the FLU.  The only problem is it last a little bit longer then the normal flu.  Stay strong.  Read past posting and you'll see it's bad but doable.  The reward will be well worth it.  I beleive WD's are God's way of reminding us to never use again.  I beleive if it was easy to WD a lot of us would use again.

Oh, and the Thomas Recipe does help. The L-Tyrosine got me through the sadness and zero energy the first week. Drink plenty of water, take vitamins and try to eat healthy. All that really helped me out so much. Good luck!

I was in your exact situation right before I decided to stop. I've been clean now 22 days of NO tramadol and 18 days clean of NO vicodin. I stopped on a Monday and I remember the thoughts running thru my head a few days before that and especially on that Sunday before. You can do this and once you hit day 5-6 your going to feel like yourself and a lot better knowing that you kicked this demon habit. I'm so much happier now and feel like myself again. I started doing stuff that I used to do before these damn pills. The only issue I'm having now is sleep. UGH! I hear that's the last thing to come. Hang in there and try to think positive until your actual quit day and know you're making the best decision for yourself. Hang in there, I know this feeling all to well. Your gonna do great!

Yeah babe, its normal.I was crapping myself. But an addiction is a monster and will try and tell you or make you believe anything to protect itself. We were not always like this. But it will tell you all sorts, once its finished with physical withdrawals then it will try mind benders on you. You lived before the addiction you will live again sweat heart keep posting, make lots of friends. I am three weeks and 1 day clean. Its been scary but not as scary as the place I could have been. None of us on the site are ready to die yet. That is why we fight. And its a very noble cause..

Well..analyzing what u said..and being afraid is normal...being afraid of change is human nature and we all fear change to some degree..but ur change is a positive one....and in the long run u will know u feared the wrong thing..continuing to use is so scary/kinda like a nightmare u never wake up from and each night the nightmare gets worse and worse//addiction doesnt get better//only worse..and if u do not stop then that is the only alternative/the lifelong nightmare..and to be honest that would scare the doo doo out of me..so in reality u r doing the only sane thing u can do..so try hard not to be afraid..keep posting all the way thru this//and longer if u can// and seek the supoport u need,,,u can do this//cos u want to do this  (:
