cold turkey
i have been taking pain pills of all kinds for about 5 years ...never thought nothing of it ..till the other day i stopped and after three days i knew now i was a total addict i relapsed that night and now im on two days clean ...i dont know anything about time and how long it lasts but this is the hardest thing i ever dealt with ...the pains in my head and stomach are unreal and the mental side affects are even worse ...i twitch all night i cant sleep well ...i throw up or gag alot i have a constant headache that wont go away... i read some peoples stories and ...we all sound the same ...i just hope i can make it ....it all started becouse i got hurt at work and then it was just so easy to get the pills from dr ...monthly and then i realised i was taking them in a week (120)vic 7.5 and my friends started taking them and then it moved to perc 10s then oc10 0c40 ...it spiralled down from there ...this is going to be a long road ...i already lost my wife ,kids,and anything that mattered so i cant do it for them ..it has to be for me now
That's wonderful! When you start to feel like yourself again you have a burst of optimistic enthusiasm for a period of time! Just be careful for the little dip that follows that after!
Keep up the good work!

Wow, you are doing good. Hang in there. Going to a meeting is a big step. I wish i could. I live in a small town and if I went I feel everyone would know. Cant go that route, so I am hoping for some support on this board. Let me know how it goes.
DAY 10 and im going to go to my first meeting tonight with a friend im feeling pretty good
I think for most to be successful...they have to do it for themselves. The strength to get this done comes from within.
It is wonderful that u r doing this. I quit alone as well. Took a few days off work and cuddled in my house cept to hit the gym each day if it killed me! LOL My addiction did not really interfere with anyone....not on a deep level...I stopped cos my addiction bugged the stew out of me and was financially ruining me as well
Congrats on 8 days....be sure u get support
