Day 1 WD Vicodin
This is day 1, I have been these animals (Vicodin 7.5/500) for about 7 years and originally used for back pain. Once the pain was gone I ccon't like an idiot and became addicted. I have seen a lot of money, dr's visits etc go by trying to get what I needed to feel human. I would have to take in am just to move, and of course all through out the day to KEEP moving. I hate what they have done to me, how often I look to obtain them and the person I have become. I DON'T spend quality time with my family because I always just not in the mood. This is just not who I am, I hate who I have become and want OUT now. I am feeling a bit emotional right now and not sure why, no appetite and didn't sleep last night. I want my life back. I want to be happy doing things in every day life with those devils anymore. I just want to be ME. I know this will be the toughest thing I have ever done, but I am 42 and am ruining my life completely. I can't enter a program but I can do is maybe post here and pray to god I get better and fight for my life! I have a horrible taste in my mouth I can't quite explain, stomach is little nasty and hands a bit shaky. Looking for advise, wisdom and a friend here to help me. I can not let anyone know this, it is my beast. I will allow others in later possibly. Is day 2-3-4- any better than 1st 24hrs? I have been drinking a lot of water and peeing a ton, is that a good thing? Need a friend :(

I promise it will get better! I just hit day 30 and things are good...well, except for the Restless legs thing...gonna cut those legs off if they don't straighten up and let me sleep! :) Aftercare is a great idea. Our brains are just messed up and wanting something we don't wanna give them. You got a touch of that feeling last week..you know..the one where you felt good without the pills? It will come back.
DAY 10! I have never even had a day 3. Today is better than yesterday for sure. I STILL have RLS but I will take that over other WD things. Mind is clear, eating much much better. Have been laughing, thinking of things to do as I dont want to sit around anymore like I had for the past several years. I basically stayed in my cave when not working and NOW i finally dont want to. I want to live! I can smell the outdoors now even. Must have had senses hidden by the pills, I believe that! Anyway, I know I am not out of the woods not by a long shot but its nice to even feel the way I do. Preparing for the mental part. Doing best I can here, fighting even if its min to min, hr to hr or day by day. I think the real me is coming forward and guess what? I like him
think positive! EVERY day is better w/o the drugs! Keep strong. I am behind you pushing you forward.
Finding myself clock watching today. Dragging which means lots to think about...many hrs left at work too, Ugh. God help me! Holding strong and trying to stay focused on the prize - sobriety! Hopefully tomorrow is better
