Here it goes...

If I could jump out of my skin, I would! I haaaaaate this feeling. I just keep telling myself "Well, you were enoying it when you were getting high" so, I'm looking at it like this, I deserve to feel like crap! It's no one's fault but my own so I'm gonna sit back and take it. It does not feel good at all! which every single one of you know that. I just wanted to post to try to take my mind off of things. Normally I would go for a short walk when dealing with stress but the weather here is very nasty.. The kids are in bed and I just fell back on the couch and said "Thank God I don't have to hide the misery"! I refuse to let them see me like this. I downloaded a word search app on my phone so I think that will keep my mind occupied for awhile. I really, really need something to help me with this creepy crawly feeling =(

Sleeptime tea and other chamomile teas helped so much. I drank them all day long. Stay clear of coffee until the jitters pass. Exercise as much as you can take even cleaning cupboards, organizing closets, washing windows. Listen to music. Day dream about life without drugs and how good that will be. Before you know it a week has past and your feeling sooo much better. Kepp posting ok, you can do this.

Oh i remember how rotten this feels but it does go away.  Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, gatorade is good and soaking in a warm bath can help.  My dog used to lay on my lower legs and it felt so good to have that pressure.  Some people have actually wrapped their arms and legs.  Download some games and keep your mind occupied.  You will get thru this so take a deep breath and tell yourself this is only temporary.  sara
