sorry to hear of your relapse. I recently relapsed too and now on day 15 clean. I had almost exactly one year clean to the day when i relapsed too. My WD were prettty bad this time too. I was hittin the pills hard during my relapse, crushing and eating them around the clock. would get up in middle of the night and take more. so my WDs were just as severe as they ever were in the past. Good luck to you. You can do this, no doubt about it.  Go catch your "FLU", suffer it out and get on with it. not much else you can do, cant avoid it. take your lumps  lol

how much r u taking now? If u quit now,  3 weeks should not be as bad as the first time/not near as hard/u know the plan now and how u will feel so u can do it more effectively this go around....if u do it now...mommie dont mess up...too much work into getting clean to blow it now..pm me later and let me know how u r doing...get this done soon or it will be harder...like mentioned/r u going to any type of aftercare like meetings?  u need to sweetie..it is so much better and makes relapse less likely...  what were the reasons u quit momma?

Dont kick yourself. Everyone has relapsed at one time or another. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start again.  Don't look back just forward. I know you can do this. Remember we are here to support you not judge you. take care and keep posting

In a twelve step program they give out key tags to mark your clean time usually spaced three months apart until you reach a year and then you pick up yearly, now having said all that the three month key tag ia RED for stop, slow down look at your recovery, are you doing all you can to stay clean one day at a time.
I don't know about your particular detox but after I relasped @ three months and used for about 2 weeks, it was not as hard as the first time I got clean.
The first time was the hardest because I didn't know what to expect, now you have some experience to draw off of and you know you can do this.The longer you stay away from deoxin the harded it will be to get back assuming that you will
The winners are the ones who Keep Comming Back.
I'm glad you posted, by doing so you probally helped someone else who was thinking of using again.Keep it in today, one minute at a time if necessary, and please please find a support group.This is a WE thing, not a ME thing.  Best Wishes

hi mommy, sorry to read about your relapse.  trust me we have all been there.  you can do this but you have to work at it.  it is like physical therapy for a knee injury.  you need some aftercare.  it is so important to long term recovery.  it gives you tools you need to fight the cravings and stay on the path to recovery.  if you attend some na/aa meetings you will learn the 12 steps to recovery...please if meetings are not for you get an addiction therapits or a pastor...some type of aftercare...keep posting too

For me its always harder to detox off my DOC after only 3 weeks i dont think it will be as bad i relapsed a few weeks ago and the detox wasnt bad but i only went back for a week, so that said no really knows what they will be like but i do hope you will do this. Your life is way more important than be on drugs again.

No one can tell you how bad the w.d's will be. W.d's are w.d's and they stink no matter what. If you have been using every day for 3 weeks, I can't see them being too easy, but also they shouldn't be too, too bad. At least not what you may have experienced before. But who knows really. What are you using and how much?
