Tell yourself that you are clean. You are not going to relapse.

I had pain which is getting much better. I'm on day 9.

Drink LOTS OF WATER or tea, scream, yell whatever it takes. You only have this one day and this day is almost over.

Keep posting and more importantly DON'T RELAPSE. It may sound good right this minute but you have 3 days clean. 3 days!!! You are recovering.

Take Care, I care.

DO NOT SAY RELAPSE!!
Stay as positive as you can...I know that seems impossible!

I KNOW you want to BAD!!!

YOU CAN DO THIS AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE AT ALL!!!

Keep getting on here and STAY STRONG!!!!!!

Take care.....each day DOES get better...PROMISE!!!!!

I agree, get in a hot tub, and relax...also remember the mind is so powefull, if u say you will relapse you probably will..I hope you are still with us...

im detox off of methadone maintenance and when ever i think im gonna crack, before i even have a chance to have another thought i run a boiling hot bath turn on the radio  and soak for about an hour. when you get out of the tube you will be so tired all youll want to do is lay in your bed. i hope this reaches you in time.

you will not relapse you are stronger than the drugs and just thnk of the great gift you will be giving your wife and children a clean and sober father,check out the amino acid protocol on the health pages it will really help, I am over 80 days clean and believe me when i went through w/d's my dogs took more walks in the first two weeks than they had in 4 years LOL,walking will help really try reading to the kids to take your mind off the drugs!!!! good for them and good for you! stay strong we are here to pull you through

YOU are not going to relapse...IF you are day three and just tired and bored, and not vomiting, and in bed.., count your lucky stars...The walk i promise will help so much...Just a short one, and dogs will love u for it ...lol
stay strong!!!

Listen at my highest dose I was doing 120mg. not 2 mention percs and hydros, methadone whatever I could get, mind over matter, you can do it, day 3 was hard for me too. But I'm on 2 weeks now, it can be done. You are stronger than it is! Stay strong, you are not lost, you are coming around the last corner before you reach the finish line!! Take it one hour at a time. I remember going through my hardest times and just thanking Jesus for getting me through that one hour! Please don't give up!   -Beth

i have only been able to make it 24 hours ...so you are already an insparation to many of us out here...keep going.....don't let the devil within win

[cathy5841]

taking the dog for a walk is great.  anything that helps you be busy and occupies your mind.  and anytime you get desperate just post, someone will try and talk you down....do check out the aminos and the thomas recipe..they will help.  you can do this one miute at time till you can make it one day at a time!!!!!  find an na meeting and attend it...they offer great tools for staying clean.  recovery is what you make it....so make it good and give yourself all the tools you need to live a clean and sober life!!

[skoochie]

you will feel soo much better after your walk.  You are almost threw with the physical and then comes the hard part!  If you really want to stay off you have to keep yourself busy, maybe find a meeting.

[chriscjwwhite]

i have my dog here i guess i could take em for a walk ...im sooo tierd

[gizzy32]

Cathy is here, she used oxy's and can give you some more advice. Since you can't go to rehab, how are you going to stay off them. Many here have come off oxy's and very very high doses. you can do this. If you look in top right of screen you will see health pages and in there is the thomas recipe to help w/d's. Are you getting any sleep?

[chriscjwwhite]

yes..i would love to go to rehab but thats not an option.I have a wife and 3 kids who no nothing about any of this

[cathy5841]

get out and take a walk...jog in place inside....clean a closet...anything to get your mind pff the drugs.  nobody said this was an easy road...you gotta stand strong and not give into the addiction...if you do it will be harder next time...exercise helps the brain produce endorphins the pills have been supplying...so get to excercising...you can do this...its hard but soooo worth it....good luck to you...

[gizzy32]

Your not going to relapse, dont' even say that!!! Your on one of the worst days right now, but it will pass. Do you want to keep going through this? You did the right thing posting which means you want some help. Is this your first time quitting?
