Day 2

[Bandog]

Hi again . Day 2 . Feeling terrible have cut down to half my dose of pills of codene over the 2 days & again half tomorrow. . I hate feeling like this is how I'm going to feel forever. I started smoking again ,just for this horrible stage . Think it's bad anxiety

Good you are feeling better. Take it easy and stay away from stress. Do something you like to do, going for walk, exercise, reading. Something that makes you feel great. Keep up the good work and keep positive.

Hi Everyone, sorry for late replys , been rough. Day 6 had no pills for 3 days today. Must admit I have some light today. Not so depressed . Still there but not as intense . I'm shaky from anxiety I think. Going to try to exercise tommorrow. I can't thank everyone enough for the on going support considering I don't know any of you & your the only ones that cared. Not of yet but I'll keep pushing. For those struggling all I can say is use this site to help & fight with everything you / we all of us deserve happiness . God bless x

Anxiety was the worse part of wds for me!! I was pacing the floors like crazy and my legs were bouncing up and down.  

For me what helped a lot.  Was I would make myself get on my treadmill and either walk or jog.  I needed to get some endorphins pumping and try and get some of the anxiety out of my system.  I must have rocked in my rocker like a crazy mad woman the first several weeks.  Lol.  But I made it and the anxiety is just ev now and then.  

You can do this!!!   lots of people get anxiety w wds.  Try and do your best to keep busy.  I know it's hard. But I would try and be productive to keep my mind off of wds and cravings.  

You got this!!!!!!

Been smoking more too... Which doesn't help the stomach !! I'm so stupid cause I know I'm going to get stomach cramps after I light up but I'm so anxious & do it anyway. Then my heart palpatates from all the nicotine. Wtf why do I have to be so stupid!

Oh, and WE GOT THIS

I'm on day 5 cold turkey. We've all been there. I have been smoking, too. Gotta do what you gotta do to get there. Hang in there, bud.

Hi everyone thanks so much for your comments . Hard to write at the moment . But I'm reading them all over & Over . Helps a lot . What did pep lie do before the net . Helping each other is such help & a good thing to see with the way the world has become x

[alex1234]

I just want to let you know I'm going through the same thing. Not sure what you were on but I'm miserable!!! I have to go to work today and anticipate a hellish day.
I don't have advice but just want you to know your not alone at this moment! Good luck to you!

[laurel453]

get ready for the anxiety to come....learn how to deal with it in a healthy way, pls ....by exercising, going for walks, some meditation time daily, healthy diet ( this is important ), maybe yoga.... work on a disciplined way of life. I know we addicts lack of discipline on our lives when we are using and trust me, all the advices above will help you big time in the next months and even years :) good luck and keep on walking on this clean path !!!

hi friend,
ive been there myself and I totally understand the feeling nd the situation ur in.for a starter leme tell u NO u will not feel this way forever.however at this point time seems to move like a snail and seconds seem like days or even years.good that uve cut down ur doses but then dont u feel that ur waiting for the time u can actually have ur next dose?i tried it myself and felt that once i felt safe to take another dose i was thrilled.then i realised this was a real slow process of quitting.so i went cold turkey.it was aweful and horrible but then i stuck on to it.its now 15 days im clean.and i dont feel terrible like i used to.its easier said than done but not impossible.dont let the devil get the better of u.stay strong,stay safe and pray
