Vicodin withdrawal hour 132

I made it through work yesterday, maybe not with the energy I would have preferred, but I still did it.  I think today will be better still, and I'm looking forward to not being dependent on the high to function, yes I do feel a little sad now and again, but that's life right.  The point is I made it 5 and a half days without the pills after a year of taking them regularly, and I'm not dead, I don't miss what they gave me, only what they've taken from me.  I will beat this...

Great choice to get clean. I was taking any pain pills I could get for almost four years regulary. It was my way of life. My husband and I divorced recently, he cheated, but I know the pills were toxic also. Personally, I think it is okay, right now, to deal with your w/d however you want, and if that involves not telling her, then that's okay. I have a great boyfriend right now, and I met him at the height of my addiction. I don't have the strength to tell him about my addiction, but maybe I will one day. There are going to be ups and downs. I was on day 20 yesterday and was really aggravated and depressed. You've made a great start. Keep posting.

I might one day tell her, but for right now.  I just can't, I thought about it last night...but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.  I would be doing it more for myself than for her, to clear my mind, and that's not fair.  She's having a tough enough time with her own health and stressors.  I think this is one of those rare instances where my own disgression is required.  I think the biggest thing I can do for her is give her back the man she married.
