Chicken soup, epsom salts, Imodium, a heating pad and 12 more DVD's!!
Congrats for wanting to get clean. We are here to support you!!
that's awesome glad to hear you set a date make sure to post progress that does really help and sounds like you did your homework and you seem to be very prepared so i wish you the best i know you can and will succeed so remember ONE DAY AT A TIME and everything else will fall into place.god bless,jeff.
Thanks to you both for the support and advice, it is much appreciated. =)
I've got some more stuff, based off some other advice in the forum, like that "Restful Leg" thing and a puke bucket (kinda seems standard issue, hehe).
Tomorrow, the day before detox, I'm going to swing by the store and get some foodstuffs, Gatorade (lots of it), red bull (hey, im not kickin my caffeine addiction here...gotta keep that bad boy goin) and some Dramamine for the drowsiness. At this point making it out of the house 1 - 2 times a day is getting rough....stretching 10mg of the hydro for a whole day is really taking its effect, but its just the warm up before the big show.
Attitude is good. I'm a "trainer" , if that makes any sense. Meaning that im used to having long periods of physical and mental training before any given event ala sports/competition. I've gone through plenty of "hell weeks" in my time and that's how im viewing this; a period of physical and mental breakdown for the intended purpose of rebuilding a stronger persona/body. So that's what I've done here. Of course this means i obsesses over details so if I've missed any please do let me know! =)
You are ready...Keep that good frame of mind and let time do its thing. It takes guts do what you are doing. Cmon! two more reps, you got it. You got this. Feel the burn and get it over with. Congrats.
Well its been 24 hours since my last sliver of vicodin and so far not too bad. My back pain is still about the same, thank the gods, and the inevitable expelling of body liquids en masse is still waiting to occur until the most inconvenient time possible.
So so far i give it a 7/10.
Though there does seem to be an awful lot of strange noises emanating from the bowels of....my bowels. Thinkin i might pop two imodiums as a pre-emptive strike against the terrorist occupation in my innards.
HI....well you sound prepared and you have done as much damage control as you can weening down to 10mg this probably wont be nearly as bad as your expecting but the normal aches and pains the bathroom issues and the lack of sleep will probably be most of it for you....dont know what time zone your in but if you can get to a vidio store rent some movies it will give you something to do wile your up all night also dont forget about the hot baths these are worth there weight in gold they take care of most of the symptoms
even help with the restless legs keep your attitude where its at and you will push right threw this thing keep posting for support good luck and God bless......Gnarly
