I think that's a great idea. IM really happy to hear that you are able to sleep. That and the body aches were the hardest for me. OK you get rest let me know how you are tonight or tomorrow. IM here for you. Heather

Drink lots of water and take lots of water.  There is ThursdayNexts  Detox and the Thomas which everyone uses.  I'm on day 6 and still feeling some cravings and a lot of anxiety today.  You won't relapse because you can't.  It's not an option.  Keep that in mind.  What your going through now is nothing compared to what will happen if you get in trouble with the judge.  Stay posted and we'll help you.  There are a lot of us up at night so just keep posting.  
Wishing you well.

Jesus is the answer!

I was crying out to my savior all night the first 2 nights. Everytime I did there was a comforting feeling come over me. But I wanted saved out of it! Then the scripture, yay though I walk through the valley of death came to my mind, and I knew he was with me, and it would not get worse than I could bare. It sure does feel like the valley of death, and when you read the post I made about my friend, it really could be the valley of death!

Right here cheerin ya on!!!!

What is written are just guidelines, everyones withdrawals are different. My w/d was slow, too. I was a couple days behind. Just keep your chin up and hang on for the ride. What you feel like when you come out the other end of w/d's is soooo worth the suffering. It feels so good to be clean from my demon!! Mine was Methadone. It was about 13 days of pur hell! So, if I can do it, so can you. I'm more ALIVE than I have EVER been. You will be too.
Are you religious at all? Maybe some praying would calm you, some music. You never know???
Stay on here, it good for ya! There are some GREAT people with some wonderful thoughts, you will need them.

I was once very strong with my faith. But this addiction seems to have lowered my faith dramatically. I sometimes feel like God has left me because of the things and the people I've hurt to get more pills. I just want my life back. But I'm so scared of falling. I keep thinking if I just had one pill all this will go away. But if I did that I could end up in jail for not living up to my end of the bargain with the police. I hate myself because of this. This should have never gone this far.

One pill wont help at all. Sorry about that, but you will only be starting all over again, and have to endure a few more days if you take one.

You are almost through the worst of it, and it will get better as you go. I cant say how long it will take you, as like was said everyone is totally different, and reacts different.

You will love all the new feelings, and smells, your mind will become soooo clear. Life will have more meaning for you. The pills do dull everything, and as your body wakes up you will have lots of different emotions.

I am about to end day 16, and still am overcome by different emotions. The good part is most are greatly needed. Makes you feel more alive than ever before.

There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Oh I would give anything to sleep through the night, as I am still not doing that good. May be because I have the flu now, but the no sleep was the worst to me.

Maybe this is a good time to regain your faith in God. He does not judge, and he does not punish. Remember? Oh, you may feel like he is punishing you now, but it is really your body that is giving you the punishment... It will get better, i promise. I cannot say how long it will take you, but if you stick with it and don't give in to your demon then you will see your NEW life through clearer eyes. Smell will even become better. All your senses will awaken and you will have a much crisper mind. Concentration will return, annd so will your memory.
Trust me, jaybird, everything you are going through right now is so worth it. I know right now you feel like ****, but that will give way soon enough. Just ride it out, and take every measure to keep your demon away from you. You will see, soon.
God Bless. I'm here if you need me.

Hello sweetie, My name is Heather. You and I have never meet but we sure are a lot alike. About the same amount of time and pills we have done. One of my biggest wake ups was when I went to pick up a scrip and was told to wait a minute. Well, I didn't I got the he*l out of there. (I had made a copy) Man some of the things I did to get my pills. Anyway sweetie, these days you are going through are so hard. The good news is you are over the biggest hump. Maybe if I tell you how I was when I also quite cold turkey then you will have something you could compare it to. (if that helps) The first three days were really bad the fourth was better the fifth was really bad all I did was cry. Everyday after that was better but not great I still felt crappy for 8 days. On my 9th day I woke up and felt like there was a sheet lifted up over my eyes. I could see things different, smell things and even feel. It was really wired in a VERY good way. That is also the day that I meet all my new friends here on the forum. Everyone here is VERY caring and supportive. I just cant say enough good things about them ALL. From reading your posts my best advice to you is to ask the great lord to forgive you for all your sins. To help give you strength, wisdom and most of all his unfailing love. Jason, HE IS VERY FAITHFUL AND JUST. Remember he will never give you more then you can bean (handle). He is the one who can help you the most. You stay strong you are doing great. It will get better I PROMISE. By the way today is my 19th day clean and that was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I know you can do it. You've made it so far don't turn BACK now. You would hate to have put yourself through all that sh*t again. THAT'S NOT WORTH IT. IM here if you need to talk. With support, Heather

Did you get caught for the copy script. I did get caught and this Tuesday I have to go back to the police station for the second time. Having this over my head is surely not helping. It is hard enough going through withdrawal but with this hanging over my head it heightens my anxiety.

No, for once I was lucky to have got out of that one. I can understand why you are feeling this way. But, for now your best bet is just get better. Doing that is more then enough work. When you go to court you should just be honest. Tell them you had a problem and you are now clean that you now want to get your life back on track. We've got people out here getting into big time trouble and walking away with probation. TRY not to worry to much. Everything will work out. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!!! XOXO, Heather

Thanks Heather. I'm going to go rest now. It's hard to stay on the computer when you feel like this. I am going to lean on these scripture verses " I can do all things through Christ"," For whom the son sets free is free indeed." and from 1st Peter " after suffering for a short while God himself will strengthen, establish, and restore you" Good night heather I will shut down after you respond. Thanx
