Detoxing from Pain Pills

[mememet]

I am on day 5 from stopping cold turkey. All I can think about is going to the doctor to get my rx. I am starting to feel better but still sleepless nights. When does it get better... when does it just become something that was a past.

Hang in there it will get better! I know it may not seem that way right now but I promise you it does!
How are you feeling today? Are you drinking lots of water?!?!
Vitamins, water and protein shakes will help! You have to take care of your body bc all we have done was damage it will the pills.

Please stay strong... Post we will help you!

Congratulations on 5 days!! Depending on how many a day u took and how long you've been on them, I think it's safe to say that at 5 days clean things will start to swing towards the good.  We have the Thomas Recipe below and those items will help you through this. Also, hot baths will do wonders for just about all the aches and pains, restlessness and anxiety. I went they it 3 times and lived in the tub. I used Epsom salts with the baths. Sleep will be at a premium for a while longer. It's the last thing to return. Sleep while you can;when your body allows.

This whole thing will be over in a few and it's not worth it to go back and re-up your script when you've fought so hard to get this far. Your miracle is just around the corner! Once you get your life back and experience the first glimpse of the freedom waiting for you, you will really appreciate it. I know that if I ever want to go back on the pain pills, the pills and my addiction to them will gladly refund all my misery. (And then some)

Are you planing on getting any outside Support? This is one of the reason we need Support. When that head starts a shaking and keeps on thinking about just ONE MORE or ONE MORE TIME, you can pick up the phone or get on here, or hit that meeting. It takes a moment to think of it and a moment to re-direct yourself.
Be Safe and Guard up at all times.
