Feeling pretty good

[kr43]

Ok I'm on day 6 and I finally feel human again. I have to tell you that when I started on the painkillers and by the time I stopped I was taking alot. I started to isolate myself and took myself away from my family. I can't believe how it turned out to be such a dark place. All the lies I told sucked. I have been to 6 AA meetings this week and I have to tell you it has made all the difference. I can overcome this and I hope I never go back. I don't want to be numb to the world. I sm getting my fsmily bsck snd they are really awesome.. To all of you struggling with this I suggest that you pray a lot and ask for help. Go to meetings. Have a great day all. God bless you all.

I know exactly what your saying. I was up to taking 4 - 10/325 percocets and not feeling anything and started mixing ETOH to enhance them. Dangerous. But yes I was up to 130mg or more a day. I was a dead man walking. Glad I'm done

6 days is great!  congrats on ur clean time

I see what u r saying....when i was living addiction..i didnt see how bad i had isolated..how depressed i was becoming..i didnt trust my decisions anymore which affected my job...the pills turned on me//which is a good thing cos it wasnt any fun anymore...so stopping became inevitable
I remeber a saturday//home alone//poppong pills trying to feel "good"  i couldnt get past the yucky feeling...and i know i took 12-14 pills that day...and only felt worse and worse...the high was gone and was chasing sumpin i was never gonna feel again..used to try to feel ok...and didnt even feel "ok" anymore..guess the brain remembers how we used to feel..the euphoria and energy....but it was gone....only felt empty inside

Good post...sometimes it is good to reflect for me..to remember where i dont wanna be...and for some reason that day always comes to mind
