day one

[mitches]

I had 1 pill left  yesterday around noon and that's the last of them...
Sooooo I'm on the couch freezing, trying to make myself get up & move but have no motivation! I've been taking hydro 10/325 for about 2 yrs now usually 5~8 per day.
Last night was probably the worst night of sleep I've ever had, I guess I'm here for support. I can't continue to live the way that I have!!! I'm a stay at home mother of three great kids & I feel terrible for doing this to them, myself & my husband.
My husband is very supportive, but being home all day alone has to be the hardest part of the w/d so far! Nobody knows about my problem, and I don't want to reach out to family and friends...

what a great post!  I am so happy to see all of the support. Mitches~isn't it nice to know that you are not alone! I am an addict of any opiate that I could consume.  As you can tell by my name, my downfall was morphine. Once you get some sleep things will seem a lot better.  Orion~you are an awesome supporter!  Keep up the good work.  
Keep posting and know that someone is always on here to lend support.  Like you we don't get much sleep.  Congrats on the 26+hrs!!

I know I WILL get thru this! I took motrin & it seems to have helped a little. The headache is still excruciating| but just a. Few more days of this!  Almost 2 days down!

Keep your head up. You're gonna make it! Not IF you get thru this, WHEN you get thru this! I'm praying for you! Stay strong. You'll feel better tomorrow!

I got a few ambien, so maybe I will sleep tonight!   Looking forward to bedtime now.

This place is great. I always lurked before but now I am posting. They are right about the mental part being the worst after the initial w/d. Keep coming here as you go down this road. Drugs will bite you in the butt when you are free if you don't stay on top of your addiction by getting some sort of after care. Keep going bc life is ten times better when you are free!!!!! I think that Dallas commented once about the money saved and he is right. I'm buying something for myself but I am also going to purcahse a large item for my wife. After two months bc she has always been a saint.  Peace. Gettn clean...

The really rough part has set in. Headache, legs hurt, but I'd say the headache right now is the worst!   I feel tired but can't sleep :~(
I sent the kids outside to play for a while so I can regroup. Told them I was sick with the flu or something... Trying not to snap at them.
I wanna just scream tho! Why did I do this to myself?  
If I make it through this I will NEVER touch another pill as long as I live!
