Beginning Day 5...

[Kfred]

... on what I hope to be the final time I "quit"...  Not having the physical, driving, craving anymore - but the drug is still in my thoughts if that makes sense.  Strange as it's not a craving feeling or a want but just 'there'...  anyway, hope everyone is doing well and gl for the weekend to all the starters like me  :)

Right there with you. I'm on day 7 today! I am thinking about it, but it is almost as a defense mechanism. I WANT to know that I'm living my life clean and I'm just thinking about it so I don't get too comfortable thinking I'm "cured". I am so happy right now because I am clearheaded, spending time with my kids without one eye on my cell phone and trying to find a way to sneak out to get them. My handwringing is gone, my sweats and chills are gone - still a tiny bit lethargic, but I don't know if that's lack of energy from the lack of drugs or how I really should feel all the time!

Regardless, I have never been more committed to anything and you need to stay just as committed. The worst part HAS to be over. Everyone have a good, safe, CLEAN weekend!

Just a thought, I detoxed through a Dr on benzos and a sh1t load of other stuff. Try to stay busy, i know that sounds like a bunch of ****, but im gonna try to mow my yard today. At this point Im not even sure what makes me happy anymore, but you made it through the physical now PUSH through the mental and your home free. hope Clay TX

I am also on Day 6 from oxy and I feel the exact same way as you..No physical w/d..dont even want to do it..but i cant go more than a minute without thinking about the "situation"..just hang tough and try and occupy your mind..the fact that we dont have the physical w/d makes us extremely lucky, if you have read many of the other posts on here.We can go out in public to take time off our hands and off our mind..most people cant do that..they dont even have the energy to walk around..my girlfriend came into town yesterday and i was great up until about 6 oclock and then i started to get anxious but it went away..all i took yesterday was some immodium and sleep md and i slept for 9 hours through the night..our lives are coming back man..we just have to allow it

on what is the final time you quit you mean right!!! the thoughts of my drug are still there every single day too, but not cravings, just thoughts, it makes sense, but it *****. there will be times you crave so stay on your toes and continue getting support. your doing great so far.

Don't "hope" it's your final time to quit...say it is your final time! Positive attitude! You can beat this and you will.... I understand what you are saying about it being there but not really a craving.....totally makes sense to me!
Have a great weekend....and you will do great!
