I am starting day 6 from coming off percocets, got to say I feel better as the days go on but still am very weak, no motivation. Can anyone give me some feedback please?

You are still pretty early to feel 100% better but trust me, you will feel better! I was at day 7 before I was able to work, had a party for my daughter and I was exhausted at the end of it all! At about two weeks out I was feeling much more energy and much more like self pre-drugs. Give your body time to heal...we've been abusing them for so long, the brain and body needs to adjust to working without the opiates. You are doing great and have made it 6 days, that is a wonderful thing!!! Just take it a day at a time! You will get your life back and it can be so much sweeter without relying on drugs! Keep faith in yourself! If you can, get out and walk or just keep yourself busy...sitting around made me feel so much worse, not only physically but mentally!
Thank you Marce & Bowhunter, I needed that encouragement from people I've learned to trust. Your wrds have given me the hope I needed to hear today.
Thank you both
Thank you both
coming from the "outsider", i must say that i am appalled at what is going on here. i used to come here seeking information "and comfort" in dealing with my sons and their addictions. it seems that so many of the people who shared so much with me...reached out with open arms and hearts have either gone, been run off, or just refuse to post...don't know...but nonetheles, the tone here has definitely changed. there are a few posters here that continually belittle and put others down...and no i do not mean sara...you guys should be ashamed of "that" treatment!...some of you should be eating crow this morning after reading posts from others stating that they too did not suffer withdrawals from vicodin...anyway, enough said on that subject. with the way this forum has been going lately, i would not recommend it to anyone seeking support...sorry, but this is just how i feel
while i was writing my post above, several of you posted before me...NOW THIS IS PRODUCTIVE...GLAD TO SEE IT!

How are you doing?? I miss seeing you here. You had so many kind and thoughtful words for me last week when I was going through hell. I wrote you a post, but, sometimes they get lost in the shuffle. How are your sons doing?? I hope they are doing well. I have decided to go from 3 to 1 pill cut in half for a few days and then down to none. We need you here for your caring love and support... Luv, G
two out of three is not bad...my c/m son is back in jail...what a surprise...this is the one i just kicked out of my mom's house...i would give my life if he could find that demon and deal with it...he knows i'm here for him and that is the best that i can give at this point...it's kind of like i told him when he called from jail..."the helping hand you are looking for is at the end of your arm"...i can't "make" him clean and sober...he has to do that for himself...
so good to hear from you
Kim
so good to hear from you

Im sorry to hear about your son, but, I think you are doing the right thing. You are not enableing him, you are helping him. Thats a great place to clean up, sad to say and if he is ready I know they have NA classes in there. I will pray for you, you have been through so much hell with this addiction thing.. Stay strong,,, Huggs, G
