DAY 4 IT IS BAD

I AM ON DAY 4 TRYING TO GO BACK TO WORK TODAY. WOKE UP IN MY USUAL PUDDLE OF SWEAT AND MY CRAVING FOR THE PERCOCETS THAT HAVE LEFT ME PHYSICALLY DEPENDENT ON THEM. I HAVENT BEEN TO WORK IN 2 DAYS. THINKING ABOUT CALLING OUT AGAIN BUT KNOW I HAVE TO GO BACK ILL CHECK IN WHEN I GET HOME.
THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT
YOU CAN NOT OPEN UP LIKE THIS TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH THANKS AGAIN
YOUR FRIEND FOR LIFE

I know how you feel this morning. I have the hot and cold sweats too. The next few days we should feel the symptoms start to ease. Do the best you can at work today and leave if you have to. They think you have been sick anyway and should not even question that you still are not up to par. I am rooting for you and know that you're not alone. Good luck my friend.

God Bless,
Tim

Man, I tell ya, it will get better... i felt like **** for 2 weeks and all of a sudden i woke up this morning after feelin' like such hellllllll just yesterday and i tell ya, i feel so much better.  I don't know what tomorrow will bring me but today i feel so freakin' good.  Just always remember it is doable and a good day will come soon.  I was on ALOT OF MEDICATION AND TAKING WAYYYYY MORE THAN PRESCRIBED... I was tryin' to kill myself without even knowin' it is what it was.  I was taking about 2 30mg oxycontin every hour or two and 3 or 4 10mg every 4 or 5 hours.  totally about 550mg a day.  And let me tell ya my body SCREAMEDDD when it was shut off.  But I want you two to know that it will get better, minute by minute at first, then hour by hour, now it's a half day by half day for me today... tomorrow will bring a better feelin' i'm sure of it... just hang in there and know that there are alot of people goin' through this with ya and here for ya!!

HUGZZZ,

I am on day 52. calling off only caused me to loose my job. I did find going into work keep my mind off my addiction. All i can say is try and at least you'll feel better about yourself. One other suggestion is try and get help. I tought I could do it alone and each time I had failed. Until death was knocking on my door. It sucks there is no question about that. But if you do get a support system with peopl aroud you they will understand and give you strenght to continue on your jouney of not being chained to a pill. At least thats how I feel.I still have the sweats at night if I sleep at all. But I am alive and for that I am graitful.Good luck and ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!!
