Lousey day 5

[Shotrock]

Day 5 started great now it sucks, chills came back big time, if I hadn't gotton rid of those Norcos Yesterday I don't know.  I read one post where hydroaddict indicated he was in recovery but still doing occasional Vic. Is this possible? Guess I havn't come to terms with giving up my Friend Norco.

I am so glad u did not cave....This passes if you will give it a few minutes or get busy with something else...then u r like...oh yey...i was thinking about taking a tab...glad i didnt

I have to agree with Worried on this. It will keep going and going and u will be back at square 1 or even worse.

Thanks worried, my dose was 4 norco 10/325s every 4 hours. Day 5 just had ruff afternoon was jonesing for the old days. Off to practice now no energy but i'm in this to the end. Thanks for your concern. Want My Life Back!

NO...I am not sure what your original dose was but u know that is not a very smart move...it will be 2 then 3 then 4 then 5 then right back where you were....repeat the reasons you quit...look at the health pages and read the craving intervention by cathy

Head starting to pound, sniffles, chills, have to practice tonight. Last night was 1st time I practiced w/o hydro in 4 years. Felt good, good energy, today nothing. If I take 2 7.5s will I be right back to square one? I must be going crazy.

The chills were the worst...I think I have become a freeze baby now...like permanently....hands and feet-sucks.  Funny you should say that about occasional use.  I was just thinking about that, while your post was uploading....I really am craving right now, but that's just the opiates playing tricks....trying to snatch our sanity from us, steal our pride, our clean time, "f" them....I can't go back....ever.....wow, I kinda went off there!!!!  I'm sorry about your chills.  I wished I'd a had an electric blanket sooo bad!!!!

There are some people who still take an occasional pill for pain...we do not feel as if we have that option.

This is our 6th day off methadone...I felt better earlier myself.  The feelings come and go so quickly.....so if you do not like how you feel.....it will change soon.

That is quiet an achievement...day 5...you have just about got this!  You can do it...this forum helps so much with all of the compassionate and supportive people.

Please read over my journals as I think some of the info could benefit you.

peace & love...keep posting
