opiate ad-
thanks especailly cause i could not do this alone
i always read these. the wd's seem worse than they are. its your mental making you think you cant handle them. You this far along,,dont go back .just kick this now that you have started to. It will be better soon. take a hot bath a very long one ok. that will help relax your legs and you. please please dont give up ok. ill be here for a while so if you need me..just yell my name ok
anything else i can do to help let me know.
in a few days you will look back and say..dang ..im glad i stuck this out i feel like a new person.
Hey J. Just remember that you will go up and down... there will be some lows where you just get the 'screw-it's" be prepared for the roller coaster ride OK?
the family and I are headed to see "Pirates" normal stuff huh? I wont be able to post for a few hours but will try to read tonight aroung 10:30 pacific.
The normal stuff will come to you to after a little hell.... be looking for it, (the normal stuff) Keep your head up and don't stay horizontal for too long eh?
Take a small walk?
im right there with you jenn.. i feel like im crawling out of my skin as well.. i actualy bought some b stress complex today and it really helps me for a few hours after i take it.. in the meanwhile im trying to distract myself with movies and crappy cable television.. you have to hit rock bottom before you find your way out it seems.. try the b vitamin and make sure youre stocked up on sleeping aids and what not.. its going to be all right.. it really is.. (something i have to keep telling myself since it feels like im in hell right now)
you know what too, guys? maybe this isn't the best advice, but i took a ton of sh** to help me sleep last night, and today was much better.
even when i wasn't a "junkie" i had sleep problems, and lack of sleep makes everything - EVERYTHING - worse.
so one thing i found that really helped me between yesterday and today was getting SLEEP.
also - one other thought - i don't know everyone's story here, but most of us do not have an incurable disease (well, maybe a manageable one anyway, some none at all) and all we have to do is GET OFF THE DRUGS. WE have a choice. many do not have a choice to feel like sh** - so in a way, we're blessed to feel like sh** (PLEASE don't take this wrong...) because we CAN get better.
alot of people don't have the choice or option of getting better.
so maybe tonight, i will count my blessings for that.
food for thought.
thanks everyone again for all of your help. i don't know if i could have done this without this place.
with love...

Hi J.
It is tough yes but the good part is that you aren't really that old and your body will heal fast.
I did post earlier, Can you get to a doc for some help?? don't have to do this all at once you know.
Best
Jim
We are reading and thinking of you... I know this is hard... Do you have a doc that could give you some clonidine?? It would help much more than the benzo's.. banana's help for cramps.. as well as Hylands Restful Legs.. salty foods help with the chills, lots of hot showers and baths..
You can get through this...
girl-- i just love the way you worded that...We are lucky in that way...i totally understand what you mean..Makes me think about the really sick people( not that some here don't have real pain) but i mean like last stages of cancer or something like that..Your food for thought was great and worth thinking about
god bless everyone
.. and that wasn't the drugs talkin', baby!
thank you for your kind words.
:-)

Hang on................it will get better. We are hear for you and we are listening. If you come across one of our "funky" patches here in the forum just scroll back to the archives, someone will say something that you can relate to, it never fails.
I have heard that advil pm helps for sleep and others swear by the Thomas Recipe. Whatever you do just don't use that drug that got you here, k? Stay with it and it will pass.....
hey i read your post down a few to me on that detox one--thanks alot it really does help and hopefully i won't offend anyone when i am ranting and raving haha and then ya all ignor me completly anyways i sometimes just need to vent especailly when i am feeling like SH**
