Cancelled online norco order...now very depressed....
I'm day three c/t and feeling very down. I had a norco refill that was to be sent out today and I just called cancelled it...it was very hard to do and it is taking everything I have not to call them back. I am very down today and I know that would TEMPORARILY cure the blues. I just want to scream and cry right now! I'm feeling the weakest Ihave ever felt emotionally adn physically. So damn alone! Kids at school and husband at work soI'm left to deal with myself. SOrry for whining!
you sound as determined as i am... i give you props for having the strength to cancel. that takes amazing will power. be proud of yourself and you are right it would only prolong the inevitable. i to am home alone, sister and boyfriend both at work, kids in FL w/ there dad. and i have to work today at 1pm. don't know how i'm going to make it thru the day. i just keep telling myself "baby steps" hang in there...
your not whining, i am going thru severe w/d and keep telling myself " hey ******* you wanted to lose weight so now you are" can't keep anything down. have to get the kids to b-ball tonight. can't wait for that, just kidding. stay strong it sucks.
Thanks...you hang in too...I called out sick today...can barely take care of myself. Try to have a good day and thanks for the encouragement. I thinkwe all need it.
IT does suck and I'm so pissed off at myself for getting to this horrible place. At least we are all trying to make our live more than the pills! Please stay strong and I will be getting my kids to ball/ballet today as well...Hope I can!
I recall that Day 3 was my worst. I felt terrible and didn't think it would ever get better. I had a small stash of pills in the bedroom and was sorely tempted to give up and take a handful.
In stead, I told my wife about the stash and suggested we have a special dinner at Day 7 with my pills as guests of honor. After dinner we would take them to the toilet and dump them.
Just the idea of this ceremony kept me on the straight path.
Maybe a short term goal will help you through these days.
It is hard right now. Your body is screaming, "Make me normal again, take some pills". But, that is a lie. Normal lies ahead. In a couple of days the w/d symptoms will subside, in a couple of weeks you'll regain your sleep patterns, and THEN you will be normal.
Hang in and stick with us...your new family. You are doing wonderful. We know what you are going through and think the world of you for being so strong.

Day 15
hey there how are you feeling?? you are getting through the worst of it, as we speak.. you should begin to feel a little more human tommorrow. and then the next day. everyone is different but you are doing great.. hang in stay close and post..
I feel a little better for a few minutes and then a wave hits me of anxiety/depression/aches/nausea. I guess this is normal. Thanks to all of you for your posts. THe encouragement helps more than I can say!
Yeah, I lost it on Day 5. I wanted to go to the clinic so bad, felt alone, no sleep, lots of pain. I was so close to giving up. One of the posts in here talked about banked pain time. It was important not to throw 5 days of pain away. I didn't go to the clinic, by day 7 I found a bottle of Methadone I had forgotten I had stashed. As much as I wanted to drink it, It was way more of a high to pour it down the sink. Kind of wish I had a ceremony for it.
Why didn't I think of that? :~)
Awesome Job George
