Day 4 complete

[bb454]

Day 4 almost over..it was hell yesterday but I was really prepared..immodium~zofran~highland restful legs~xanex..the only thing I cant seem to help is the anxiety and jump out of my skin feeling..i HATE it. Im coming off 6 to 8 vikes a day. I knew it would be bad but not this bad. God bless the people coming off of heroin..i cant imagine much worse. These boards are a god send. I just wished I would have done it sooner. I was so petrified of the withdrawal. I remember hearing Dr.Drew say one an addict will stay on drugs for years just fearing withdrawal.. Im glad I made it 4 days and am rooting and praying for everyone else fighting this demon of a disease!

Thanks littlebit and Jimmy...i cant stop fidgeting all day..its driving me crazy..i feel like running gor two weeks like Forest Gump. The thing that ***** is your so darn depressed and sore to get out and walk ..i will try tomorrow. It took everything out of me to care for my family today. I did it tho..even feeling like this..

I promise the anxiety will get better.  It is your brain being anxious and mad!  Tell it to calm the heck down.  Getting exercise seems to help.  Keep up the good work!

Hang in there my friend ! There is no doubt that the anxiety monster is the absolute worst part of recovery . For me I would rather go threw the physical symptoms ten times over that anxiety monster . But the good news is it will go away I promise ! Well done on 4 days !  Keep focused and stay with us ..Jimmy

Thanks Dix...yeah I hear you with the xanex but I dont think this will ever be my doc...makes me too tired and sluggish..what I miss from the vikes was the energy..i became supermom..laundry,cooking,cleaning,working,homework..etc..now its hatd to even put one foot in front of the other without it. I know im supposed to be positive but this totally *****. I need some type of aftercare and soon!
