Day 2

[sylvia21]

So today is day 2 after being on a week relapse. (I was clean for 19 days). I am feeling so so. Kinda tired and a bit sick to my stomach. But nothing like the wds I went through the first time. Do you guys think it's possible I might not go through the same wds as last time?? Or just not as bad? Please keep the positive responses coming, they help SO much. Thanks!

I was only using for 6 days, 3 vicodin 7.5mg a day. And even though I went back to using, it wasn't nearly the amount I was taking before I went clean the first time. I've been busy all day at work & have only felt tired...but I know that's to be expected. Day 2 is coming to an end and soon they will start to fly by just like the first 19 did. Thank you everyone for your wishes :)

Well I guess its possible. I think the worst thing about repeatedly going through WD's is you know whats coming. First time around you don't know so much what to expect so I think at least for me it made things a bit easier.I guess though if you do know you can prepare a bit.

I really think it depends how badly you relapsed i.e. how much and often you where using.

But I'm sure you'll pull through and it'll be for the best. Good luck.

For me the w/d this time is nowhere near what it was when I first quit. However I was 13 months sober before this relapse but I was right back up in tolerence and taking 200mg oxy per day. So regardless though I think that it all depends of the length of your relapse and how much you were taking. Like pillfree said the mental aspect does get easier because youve been through worse so It seems a bit easier overall. Goodluck to you.

I am in the middle of relapse recovery and I often have the same thoughts.  It feels like crap either way, but I think the fact that we just recently went through very tough WDs..(mine was off methadone, so it was a beast) may have a mental impact in the sense that we have recent experience.  At the same time, I have read a lot of people say it gets worse with each time and there are moments when I believe that also.  I guess it is different strokes for different folks.  The one common thing is our need to get to sobriety and stay there.

I hope this helps and wish you the best. Keep fighting, you are worth it.
