I'm on day 16 of Vicodin withdrawal, I think about popping every now and again, but the cravings aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. I was walking down the hall today and hit my hip on the closet door knob, and it hurt like hell. And I was reminded of a quote from Surogates a crappy Bruce Willis movie, but really it means a lot. It is different when you can feel the pain. The array of sensation is broader, emotion is deeper and more meaningful. I've heard addicts talk about these dramatic negative emotions, but I submit that along with that you'll feel better at times than you ever could on the drugs. Pain hurts, for better or worse if you're a pleasure user like I used to be its temporary, now of chronic pain is your life I'm sorry and I hope every day science finds a way to mute your pain sans the narcotics. I hope for you all that we as a group of addicts can find our way through the woods and put down the pills forever. I will beat this...
