Thank you for asking. No, I have no support at home. I live alone, I am divorced and I have no children. My ex-husband and I were trying to adopt because I can't have children, but everything just went south. The morphine has totally taken control of my life and I want out. That's why I came to this board for help. But I guess because I feel so bad, I spoke badly about sosad and everyone jumped on me. I've read all of her posts and I think I spoke the truth. I apologized to her and I will never again say anything about her even if I think she needs to hear it. Thank you for your concern about me. I just feel horrible and want to take some pills but I am planning to see this through. Thanks again,
Sick
I am so sorry you're having a rough time. Do you like to read? I am trying to do anything to keep me from taking a pill. Don't worry about the exchange that went on. You have a right to vent too and nerves get so frayed when people are going through withdrawal. You will find support here and I hope you will stay here. It has helped me a lot and I finally decided to just do it for me. If I can help you in any way, please just let me know. I am feeling kind of lousy today and back and forth from computer to bedroom. Keep up the fight!!
Always,
Mariyah
I'm new to the site, too. I'm day #2, but too chicken to do it c/t as y'all say. i am tapering. but hats off to you, hang in there. i experienced morphine w/d cold turkey once, last year. Those were some of the most painful, difficult days of my life, not to frighten you but to let you know i feel for you and understand your pain. once i got over the cold sweats and gi distress, i sufferred most from the sleeplessness. take it easy on that, though, you will sleep again normally. keep a wicked-good book next to your bedside, rent some movies, whatever. Just don't lay in bed tossing and turning for hours. i would give myself about 15 minutes of lying awake, then i'd quit fighting it and read or watch a movie/tv. during this time, i also had some short-term memory loss, so don't be alarmed if you do as well, it's probably temporary. i also had odd muscle spasms and tremors but those went away after 3 weeks or so. hang in there. hot baths helped as did making myself eat even though i had no appetite for a week. but my body really needed the nutrition. start small though or your gut will rebell. do you have anyone to help take care of you for these first 5 days? i suggest you try not to have to work for at least the first week. but then some structure might be good for you and if you're like me, you'll be surprised at how much getting up and out helps. NA mtgs might also help, especially if you live in a larger area--sometimes small-town NA is just too kooky. good luck to you and let us know how you're doing.
Sorry I can't stay - Thelida wrote to me and I quote, "you keep saying you are going to leave, but you are still here.
This is just escalating the situation.
None of us including yourself need this added drama in their lives.
If you are going to leave, just do so & don't respond to any more posts please.
I don't want to chase you away from the forum, but this all needs to stop now.
Many here are in a very fragile emotional state and this is going to make it even worse."
Obviously my fragile state doesn't count.
You see, sosad is special and fragile.
I am fighting w/d from morphine and fragile too. But I don't count because I'm not special.
yes you do count... e1 here does to me... I've gotten this far for my children and because of e1 on here. You have your way of venting and so does e1 on here... e1 is different. We're all goin' through hell. I'm here for you and e1 on here... god bless you, ask me for advice or just talk to me k? :) Lil.
