Thank all for your support. It means so much to me to have people like you to talk to when i'm feeling so low. It is very hard and i can't even imagine how bad it will be days from now. I'm trying so hard not to be scared but It keeps going threw my mind over and over again.

I am on day 2 also and I agree that it is very hard not to think about it! I just keep telling myself that each day it will get better. It has been a hard 2nd day but so far no pill! I am so proud as I have never made it this far before! Keep it up just don't give in. You can do it! I am proud of you!

Day 2 is really good!  You have to tell yourself that it will never get any easier to quit.  It has to happen now.  If you took pills again, you would feel (maybe) better for a little while and then you would have to do this all over again.  It is way eaisier said than done to kick these *&%&* but it just has to happen.  Otherwise, you bottoms will get lower and you will likely end up ruining you life like I basically did with mine.  I wish I would have never gotten back on them after quitting once early on in my addiction but I did.  Now, I am clean, but my life has spiraled out of control in the process and here I am sober and filled with anxiety and depression while trying to pick up the pieces.
I really hope you can stay clean!!! Also, keep in mind that it is normal to obsessively think about the pills, especially on day 2!  I seriously don't think 5 seconds went by during the first few days or weeks, even where I wasn't thinking about pills.  It is an addiction, a habit, and a lifestyle all of which lead to nowhere...or maybe jail or a coffin.  If I can do this, believe me, you can too!
Good luck!!!
