Hydrocodone addict

Hello I've been reading the posts for a few weeks in preparation. And I'm now only 24hours off them as I write this. At this point I feel a little restless but I'm confident I can do this with the help of my love. I was reading the posts and crying this morning because I kept hearing my all to private and debilitating secret being told over and over. It's really comforting to know that I'm not alone. So the main difference in my story from the others I've read is the number I take every day. Up until about a year ago I was pretty steady at 15-20 a day. I'm at the point now that I'm not really sure how many but I'm sure I took 30 a day at least on average probably up to 45 or more even. I stopped keeping track, probably because I didn't want to know how badly I was/am treating my body. So I guess I don't have any questions really, just wanted to share and hopefully help someone. Please comment, it would really help me get through this.

I'll take all the help I can get :)

Thanks,
Sean

You may probably be one of the rare ones who are extremely lucky to have only mild withdrawals. With Hydrocodone you should be way farther into some unpleasant symptoms by now and on top of that you are sleeping. That tells me you will probably get off lucky this time. I have not slept for 8 days before even on just hydrocodone!     Even though it is easy this time you should never go back because it may not be so easy next time and that is also a poisonous dose of acetaminophen you were taking. Great job on getting those 37 hours in friend. !  Keep it up and never go back ;))

I've been taking a lot of Epsom salt bathes and the restless/jittery body feeling I had the first two days is subsiding. Overall I feel better than I did yesterday

Ha! I think you're thinking to much. It happens to us all. Try to stay out of your head and just be. (If that is possible.) Try to watch something that will make you laugh, or put on some good music and dance! I always counted starting the next day. So if you took the last of your pills on Tuesday, Wednesday would be day one, Thursday day two, and today day three. So a huge congrats on day 3!!  How are you feeling this evening?
