Another Monday

Well, it's another clean Monday - the 4th since my last use-day on 9/29.  Hope everyone is doing well - I've been tied up with this and that since Saturday, so it will be a while before I catch up on the posts.



Skip: You're quite right, I need to "just do it" on the exercise.  With that in mind I will leave work at noon at hit the "Y."



Staff:  Although it would be nice if you could boot the folks abusing this forum, please don't shut it down if it can't be immediately stopped.  I think most in here smart enough (especially since we're all on notice) to note what's-what and who's-who; and it would be a shame to see such a valuable resource be wasted.

He is right about the just get up and do it.I finally got up and started just walking and one thing led to another and now I am working out at home with light weight and exercise bike.Something I haven't done in years.I feel so much better.

I can relax a bit now.Take the advice and get up and go do it.

by bmac, Oct 21, 2002 12:00AM
Yea,it's ashamed that all these people here are fakes.You know not one of 'us' addicts are worth a piece of **** I guess.You

think since I am so lame and such a loser I should just put a gun to my head and go ahead and just end my pathetic worthless

life.Thanks for showing me the path to intellegence.Post on Hacker dude/dudette!

I believe we have a Sybil invading our forum. But you know what. We should actually feel sorry for them because it's evident that they don't have a life or they wouldn't try to take someone elses. You poor thing! I really pity you. Didn't your mommy teach you it's not nice to lie and the truth DOES ALWAYS come out in the end. So just keep typing, it's your butt, not ours.

they know who it is, some kid who got banned from the site,

peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there...if you are really committed to seeing this through, use the rough spots when it is very uncomfortable to write, and reflect on how you are making way for a new you to emerge.  Cry if you need to, scream if you need to, but hold on and know that after 4 days you feel much, much better.



I have not caught up on the forum yet, didn't log on at all yesterday, so I don't know what happened or who got hacked, but am going to read below and see for myself.  



I'll be leaving in a little while to get my epidural. Please pray that it works!  I probably won't be online again till tomorrow, but my thoughts will be with you.



love,

OK new to this but at the end of my rope.  I am a 39 year old female addicted to codiene.  Ok now I said it out loud.  Going into second dayw ithout any.  Only because I can't get any legally or otherwise.  Can someone please tell me how long this takes?  I had cut back to one or two at the most a day, so sure I don't have that much in my system.  But I have been on codiene for over 2 years now.  I used it for my back, two crushed disks from a car wreck.  But have had the mri and all that bull **** and they doc's say no pain med.  They say get off it.  Well fine and dandy, but they don't bother to tell you how to deal with withdrawel.  I've come clean today with my husband and daughter and my boss.  They seem to pass it off as no big deal.  I've got the cramps, diarreaha and major headache.  All I want to do is sleep.  I've even called a back up doctor for refill, his office just called, no such luck.  I feel nervous yucky and totally pissed off at the world.  My back hurts some but not near as bad as I thought it would once I ran out.  But fact is the codeine made me happy, it gave me energy and I like the high I get off of it.  Time to face reality here and I'm not sure I like it.  Any advice?

Nobody is posting and I'm kicking and some jerks screwed up this site, I want some pills so bad and I have no place to get them today and so I sit inside twitching and being mad at least I'm not throwing up this time I think the darvons helped me with that my eyes are all blurry, I don't feel very positive I take some if I could.  I need them to feel normal, how did this happen No I'm not dead yet justwaitng for this to be over /should I start taking the receipe again and what is the tyloyzine that makes me a little sick, I hope an oldtimer will post soon.

Hey- dirtbag...  You're sticking in there, and that is all that matters. Some people have said that every time you detox it gets worse, but I have found that I got better each time for me. The first time that I went 24 hours without, I ended up in the ER (I didn't realize I was having withdrawals)-- The last time of 3 or 4, I just felt like I had a bad Flu. Everyone's body chemistry is different, but remember that what you are REALLY struggling with is TIME. It is all a matter of time, and ANYTHING you can do to distract yourself (I find the HOT baths and walking until I'm sick are the best) kills TIME.



I hope that helped a little at least, you.... You... Dirtbag.



I guess I'm finnaly getting used to that name of yours!

Hang in there, and keep posting.



You've been around long enough to know what to expect the next few days, but after that it will become easier.



No one realizes the comfort of a really hot bath until they've tried it.  I stayed in one for hours on end.  



The recipe will help you a lot too.



No one can take this away, but we will all be here to help you through it...just keep posting in between hot baths.  You will feel a little better, I promise.



We'll be here to help you get through this.

dirtbag:

i'm with jessy, that is a rough handle to grab on to. i don't know if i'm an old timer, but i'm an old fart (51)! i've been on and off opiates for 35 some years...



get on the recipe and stay on. try cutting the l-tyrosine dose into 2 or three smaller portions taken at evenly spaced intervals. don't forget to take lots of imodium. drink as much water as you can.



keep telling yourself that junk w/d won't kill you. it's not really such a bad deal when you think about it...you get to be reborn and you don't have to die to do so...that doesn't work?? ok just keep telling yourself "there is a way through this!"



for what it's worth i've been where you are at. it's a path worn

smooth by the tears and footsteps of many junkys before you or i.

there is a way through.



keep posting. you are not alone. you will not be forgotten. there

is a way through!



keep an angel on your shoulder
