Am I really better??

[GabbersMommy22]

So I have tryed so many times to stop taking those stupid little pills..... The hardest part is I do have pain issues but personally I think Ive come to a point where I would much rather deal with pain then take those stupid pills. For about the last 10 months I have struggled I'd get clean, then Id go back but I really truely think im done. Im on day 5, I admit I did however taken 1 5mg vic the 1st 3 nights to sleep. But compared to taking 8 10mg vics a day that was a dramatic change. So my question it, even though I took 1 those first three nights am I threw the woods?? I really feel better today I just dont want to phsyc myself out.

I can not answer that for you really as we are all different in our wd for me it would of prolonged my wd if I were to take one or one and a half each evening or for any evening.. I'm glad you are feeling better today :) and Congratulations on day 5. I also live with chronic pain and have found after awhile the pain has become more manageable without the opiates and Motrin 800 works well.. Who would have guessed :) The pain of my active addiction was much more painful then my physical I also found I get out more and this has just helped my emotional state so much.. If I were to suggest anything it would be to get rid of any remaining pills and make a commitment.. I went to my Dr. and told him no more for long term pain I'm a addict.. He was very pleased with me :) I have done these things in order to give myself a better chance at Freedom and Success I also received therapy that benefited me very much.. the more honest you are and the more tools you gather to fight this addiction the better your chances at success.. I wish you all the best. lesa

If you have been still using it at night for sleep that is most likely where you will have the problems.exercise if you are not on any anti depressants a supplement called 5hpt I believe magnesium supplements help for sleep as well it will take a bit before your sleep patterns come back but it does happen .Good Luck we are here for you.

Well I didnt use any of them last night and I still feel good today... I didnt use them everynight of the 5 nights just when I was in alot of pain and couldnt handle it and had to sleep. I flushed all of them yesterday. And have told my doctors absolutly NOT to give me anymore. I just want to be done and get my life back. I dont want to depend on the pills getting me through the day. Im hoping since I have taken a total of 3 5mg in 6 days compared to my 8-10 10mg I was taking the worst im hoping is over. Today was actually really productive I got alot done. AND best of all I DID IT SOBER!
