quick question

[wherestheresetbutton]

I'm currently 48 hours Into my detox.  So far its been pretty mild (ill get into specifics later) but after a 5-6 month relapse how long should I expect the "rebound" pain to last?  I kno typically the worst is over after 72 hours, but this lower back pain is driving me crazy.  I have no real back problems (aside from poor sitting posture) and I took the pills recreationally. Any input will help. And ill come back with all the details when I feel I can actually move a bit.

Thanks for taking time to read/answer me.

Steven, I just wanted you to know that even at this early stage in the game for you that you are a great inspiration for me!  6 days is great!!!  My plan was to ct in 2 weeks, on the holiday weekend, but I got a new job and had talked myself into waiting....but after reading your posts, I'm going to go for it as planned.  I'm scared to death, but I will post the entire time like you have been and I know I will too get thru this with everyone's help.  Please keep posting so I can continue to draw my nerve up from your success.  Congrats to you!  Seriously.  D

Man, what a day today.  First and foremost, I owe everybody that posted today a huge thank you, it started rough, but just like EVERYBODY said, it ended up being a cakewalk, and by the end of the day I was actually having fun, pranking staff members like I used too, setting off firecrackers at the best moments, watching 12 people all jump.  I had a pretty good day, that anxiety this morning was hell.  Ill make sure I don't subject myself to that again tomorrow, as I don't go in till 11, I will probably have a few hours before to do something fun, like disc golf, or workout....I dunno.    
Had a much bigger turnout than expected, 175 people, busiest day in two years, and I'm in day 6.  Around noon I got to leave the job, and go to the grocery store to buy lunch materials to cook up for the staff.  Chose chili dogs, fast, easy, delicious, cheap.  So I took my sweet time at the store (lol everybody was bitching about how hungry they were when I left, but I still took my time and enjoyed it) got back, cooked up 40 hotdogs, and had to cook the chili without a can opener! What a pain in the ***, lucky I didn't wind up with stitches lol.  After I got this accomplished, I really got into the day, and started having fun!  Its been a long time since I felt the way I did at work today, while at work.  During my active using, I started to hate the place, because it took me away from my HIGHding place.  But after some well deserved rain, I could take in all the smells, colors, and overall atmosphere that I have been oblivious to due to the pills.  Just as predicted it turned out great.

Thank you all who posted to help me today, you saved my ***! Any time I felt down, I snuck off and would check for posts, and every time I checked, there was a new message waiting.  How awesome.

Had a good day, actually looking forward to tomorrow, not because of detox symptoms being easier, but because I'm enjoying myself again!  I know this feeling of happiness is short lived, but for the moment I'm going to live in it.

Today, I realized how much I miss ME, I'm such a silly person, and I've been destroying that with drugs.  As I progress further into my own recovery, I can see that I can not, will not, and refuse to do this without help.  Its not called recovery for no reason right?

Hey Steven! Just stopping by following your progress, way to go!  I admire your outlook and maturity at your age. I worked with at risk youth for years, many students are now your age and older. With that being said, I can say you truly are in a league of your own. Which IS a compliment. ;)

Hey, kinda grumpy is better than being in jail for threatening to kill one of them, right?  When I was detoxing, I'm pretty sure that would have been me!!!!! : )  You're doing great!  Hang in there!

Well look at it this way - at least you get to be around "crazy" people having fun.  It beats the hell out of having to be around a bunch of stuffed shirts during all of this right?  LOL  Keep going - you are doing GREAT!!  And it's after 1 already and it's going to be 6 before you know it!!  Think how GREAT you're going to feel when you get home tonight.  That thought alone will keep you going.  :)
