Ten Days Today free from OC!

[jvette]

I have been posting up here a little bit since I have finally made my last attempt at quitting OC. Search through my posts and youl see that I quit almost 2 months ago. Had 14 days when I was on vacation and relapsed within 2 days of coming home.

That relapse lasted almost another 2 months of daily abuse (200-240MG OC snorted). I finally found it in myself to quit ten days ago. I am feeling amazing surprisingly! Most of the withdrawls are gone except a few that I think will linger for awhile. Maybe some of you can give me some advice.

I have been having night sweats every single night so far. I have to get up and change my shirt at least twice each night. I am also still having diarrhea and bad stomach pain/cramps. Any comments? I was thinking by Day 10 that those symptoms would be gone!

Other than that I am doing great. I have had to leave all of hte people I used with in the dust. I don't call them and they don't call me. It's funny how that works. Once you stop using you dont' talk to most of the people you used with. Yeah some of them are friends but if I'm trying to be clean there's no way hanging out with them while they are doing it would do me any good! I have been attending AA every night and have a bunch of sober friends who are helping me out and the program is looking semi-interesting to me.

I am looking forward to posting up with 30 days! I am definitely still having a few cravings here and there..but I am sure those will pass soon!

Thanks for the support guys! The night sweats are killing me. I didn't have them this bed when I quit 6 weeks ago. Last night was the 10th night and every hour or so I'd wake up sweaty..if I stayed up though and didnt go back to bed I wouldn't sweat. It only happens when I go to sleep. At the same time though I am having sleep problems still too.

I know it is just my body running its course and clearing it all out and getting back to normal. Surprisingly enough I am not really depressed and am actually pretty happy! Felels good to have had control over my life the last 10 days and not use.

Anyway, hope the last few symptoms (sweats/diarrahea/sleep) get better soon!

Good job sounds like you have it under control for the most part.  I quit OCs about six months ago it took a great toll on my body.  I was at about 80mg a day my best friend used to deal it so I basically cut off all contact until I didn't have the physical withdrawls...Then I started using marijuana as an alternative which in turn gave me anxiety attacks.  Im 100% clean now I don't even drink and I just turned 21...Don't give up it's rough for the first couple months but if you stay away from people that do it your chance of relapsing is slim to none...  g'luck

I am glad you stopped socializing with those that used, that was a very difficult thing for me to do, I kept going back thinking I could stay clean around them, but NO chance. AA will help you a lot and it sounds like your very serious this time and working your recovery and that will ensure your success. Have you been using immodium? I would think the rest of the physical will pass very soon. The cravings you are having are normal and that's why it's so important to have a good support group. Stay strong and keep posting.
