Day 12
Wow Yesterday was a tough day. I was doing good but then got an email back from an online pharmancy. I had sent it in on my second day.. dumb.. I know, but my mind was crazy with WD. I feel better today that I know.. number one, I am not getting them, and number two - I don't want them. For all of you who are starting out... I did not think it was possible to live with out pills. The WD are gone but the cravings are here to stay. I don't think about them 24 hours but some days 12 hours and others 6. Over time this will pass. I came clean with my family and my fiance made a comment last night that I thought was iteresting. He is a nurse and sees this happen all the time. I had terrible stomache pains from not going the bathroom. (He told me the Vics do that to you.) Now I am getting back to normal. Also, I seem more alive. I thought the pills made me have energy. I walked outside today and can actually smell the fresh air. I was too foggy to notice things like that. It may sound strange but it is true.
Congratulations on your progress. You have some pleasant surprises ahead...I assure you.

Week 6
To me it frequently seemed like I had switched from viewing the world on an old, small B&W TV with dust covering the screen, to viewing it on a brand new, squeaky-clean, wide-screen HDTV. This aspect seemed to reach its peak intensity at about 6 months - everything stays that vivid, but it's just not overwhelming now.
People in sustained Recovery frequently talk about peeling away another layer of the onion. I find that they are right. I am more than a little amazed and grateful when I discover every few months that another layer is gone. It's an amazing journey.

It feels good to not have to worry about how many pills you have left, and how are you going to get more, and should I take one, or should I save it. Its a lot of stress worrying about those things
Today is day 12 for me too; c/t from over 2 yrs of 480 mg of oxy, sometimes more. I actually drove yesterday for the first time, I had been too weak to drive. And I slept more than 2 hrs last night; I slept 5. I still feel foggy and weak but it's getting better. But the pain in my legs that I was taking it for has returned so I'm having a real dilemma. Addicted or in pain? I just don't know. But I'm taking it day by day.
Congrats to you,
