30 days today!

[Baker3336]

Well, today is 30 days for me off norcos. I feel pretty damn good. I am having no issues except the occasional craving every other day or so. They usually come about when I am bored so I just try to stay busy if I can. My sleep was the biggest problem but the last few days it has been normal(bed at 11 up at 7:30) pretty nice. I still wake up a couple times a night but am able to get back to sleep in a few minutes. Thanks everyone that has read my posts and helped me along the way. I am trying to help other people on here when I can and just can't stress enough how important this website was and still is for me. I wasn't sure how life would be without my hydro but I want everyone out there currently going through withdrawals that life can be great again. I know there will still be times for me when cravings are tough but I never want to go through a month like march again. I have too much to lose. 30 days to feel tons better on the grand scale of life is not that much. The first fee weeks suck but it can be done. Good luck to everyone and thanks again. Love the website and I'm so glad I came across it. I'll be on the forums for a long time to come. See ya!

Oh by the way I have been walking when I can. As soon as the weather breaks I walk almost everyday.

Well I was only taking them hardcore for about a year. Dabbled for a little longer. This is my first time going through wds. Once I got my script I had a steady supply when I got low I had some easy connections to keep a supply. So this is my first "time around" and hopefully my only time. I really thought I had it under control but then realized the last few months I didn't. I lied to everyone no one knew except a few pals. I didn't get caught I just decided one day that I was done. I even had a script waiting for me. I feel like I am pretty strong and I know n/a a/a are not for me. I did this for me and my wife and kids. I basically have an ultimatum that if I get involved with the norcos or any pain meds and lie or any of that bs, I'm out.. My family and closest friends are super supportive and I feel that me and my will power and support will keep me clean off the meds. I know alot of people do need aftercare and I think it's great that it's available to people. I'll do my very best because that was the worst three weeks of my life and I do not want to go through that again. I do have minor pain from multiple things but I mostly took the norcos for the high. It didn't take long for me to have to up my dose just to feel normal. I wasn't really getting high anymore and I wasn't enjoying myself anymore so I am just going to etch it in my brain how everything went down. My cravings are few and short but sometimes I just go to YouTube and look at videos of withdrawals and I cringe. Not going through it again I feel very strong about it. So that is pretty much my plan at this point. If things change and I feel I need some kind of outside aftercare then I will do it but for now it's strength and will power and just enjoying life and my family again. Good luck to all and thanks again for all the help and caring. Like I said I will continue to be active on the forums.

a big congrats to your 30 days that is huge.you definitely have to keep yourself busy. have you begun an exercise program yet to get your endrophins started? you didnt mention any aftercare either. the w/d are over now you need to get some aftercare in place to continue your clean life, counseling,na,support groups. dont forget to keep your guard up. you have to remember you put toxins and poisons in your body so it is going to take some time to really flush itself out.
blessings to you
