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.

Hey, work can actually be a good thing on day 6.  You have some energy, because you're exercising, so that will help a BUNCH!  Just get up and go do it tomorrow!  It will keep your mind and body busy.  You won't believe how much it will help. So......there's no need to dread! : )

You got this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inside my head I know I'm going to be ok, I have great support at work, my girlfriend is the cashier.  She has finished her testing and has been backing me up 100%, just can't help but worry about it.  But, I got myself into this mess, so I earned this slow crawl back out of my hole. Thanks for your post, helps when I have access to other peoples perspectives.

SLOWLY.  That's how I would handle tomorrow!

And tell some of your co-workers you're just not feeling well (you don't need to give them details) so they won't be expecting the world from you.  And if you have to - ask for some extra help tomorrow if you think you need it - you would do that for one of your co-workers if they asked you so why shouldn't you expect the same right?  You're not going to be feeling like this forever so needing any extra assistance at work will only be temporary!!  Good luck!!  I'm sure you'll be fine.  :)

Well, today has been good, stayed busy, worked out a little, walked 4 miles today.

But I'm stressing about tomorrow.  Tomorrow is day 6, and its back to work, no more days off.  I manage a paintball field, and we're expecting over 150 people.  That's 150 people who know nothing of saftey, walking around with guns that could blind or even kill somebody.  Anybody have any advice as to how I should try to handle tomorrow?

Other than worrying about that, all is still well

Hey good to see you feeling better its great to find clarity in life now fro the hard part .....staying clean....you need to get plugged in somewhere to treat your addiction it wont just go away because you quit using the pills .....it is the very way we think as addicts that needs to be addressed both N/A and A/A are free and good programs theres also conslors and therapist that specialize in this but dont skip this critical part of your recovery otherwise you'll be back here again in 6 mo this is a very treatable deseise but you gto to treat it good luck on your recovery become pro active in it and you will be successful .......Gnarly

Yeah, the clarity I feel now is awesome, short lived, but awesome none the less.  I saw this period of detox described as like I'm on a cloud, everything is awesome, since I haven't really felt anything real in 6 months.  I know that these happy go lucky feelings aren't permanent, which is why I must find some aftercare, as I am really ready to start my life, and god willing a family.  One step at a time :) thanks for your post
