Day 5

[desertgirl]

Good morning everyone, hope everyone is doing fine. I got four hours of sleep last night. Going to have a lazy day and try and catch up on some rest!

Aside from lack of sleep, how do you feel on day 5?  Any more w/d symptoms physical/mental?
CONGRATS ON DAY 5!

I am doing great actually, I got out yesterday and I think I over did it. I think I am more emotionally drained than anything. The pain is getting better, what day are you on?

I am getting ready to go c/t on Thursday.  I am trying to use what I have left to prepare and get things in order because I have tried to stop before and the w/d's are debilitating.  I simply cannot function!
Were they bad for you?
I just told my family about my addiction several days ago and they are being very supportive.  I have to stop, because pills are ruining my life. I am going to stay with family starting Thursday for about 5-6 days in hopes of getting as much support as possible thru the worst of the w/d's.  
When did you start feeling better?  Were the w/d's horrible or did you manage them?  If so, how?
Any advice is helpful!

that is awesome to have help like that. the first three days will be hard, just make sure that you drink lots of liquid, maybe some protien drinks, because you will not feel like eating, if you can find something to help you sleep then take it for the first three days, those seem to be the worst. after the fourth you should be feeling a little better, just take it one min at a time if you have to. but i got out yesterday and it made a world of difference not to be sitting at home anymore. i wish you all the best, will you be posting during your wd?
