Getting tough

[Tim2H]

Today I am at 48 hrs and feeling pretty crappy, literally. It seems like such a hard row to hoe right now. I spent the day with the kids, fishing, ice cream, baseball, etc. My wife flushed the pills because I checked with her an hour ago. I would have taken one if I had them here right now. Signed on and guess it is a wild day on here, I won't comment further. I was feeling weak and took a potassium pill, think it helped a little.

Take care all and good luck on your journey. It will be worth it.

Drive carefully this weekend and don't forget seat belts.

You are at the peak of it..  It may stay just as bad for another day.. then I hear it gets better.. 48 hours is great... keep it up..

don't know what level you were at but if it was something like 10 - 20 per day like me, days 4 and 5 was the worst that I felt,  I could not get past that until I went to a bonified detox.
Best

I was up to about 10 a day. I am a big guy, 6' 3", 220 lbs. I started taking them after a serious injury while on duty. I took them for pain and then it progressed and was taking them for sleep.  Eventually, the pills turned on me and I noticed my temper was short and I was feeling sick after a few hours after taking them (breaking out in sweats). I will get through this and be a better man for it.

I've read some of your posts and you have come a long way. Tipping my hat to you, keep it up!

Thank you sweet lady! I will hang in there and take your suggestion and lay down for a bit. The kids should be going to bed in an hour and it will be alot more peaceful here.

I am so proud of you!! Did you have a nice day at the beach? I had a nice day considering. Your support means alot to me. Is Mark off tonight? I will check in with you guys tomorrow.
Be happy!!

Hey Road,
I was taking them for almost a yr. I started taking 10/325 norcos. for pain and then using them for sleep/relaxation. I am happy I decided to get off them and know I am going to feel better soon. I didn't like the way they were making me feel lately. I know better than to have abused them and there are other ways to deal with stress. I will be so happy to support you in your recovery, if I can find any easy way to make it more bearable, I will pass it on to you. I can deal with the chills, stomach and anxiety for a bit. Thanks for your support and know it does help make the journey easier. Call on me anytime if you have questions and have a nice evening.

We spent a cople hours at the beach.  It was nice.  we coudn't stay too long, it is hard with a 18 mo old.  The todlers loved it tho.  Then we came back and Mark griled hamburgers.  They were so good, the first solid food Ive had in a week.  Now we are all in the livin room waching Forest Gump.  I remembr seeing it at the theater and thot it was realy long but now it seems to be quite enjoyble.  Mark doesnt have to go back to work til Tues nite.  I think he is over there dosing on the sofa.  Im sure he will check on you.  I told him that you didnt make me feel bad abot my speling so he gets a brek from typing.  haha  Well if you and yours were in Daytona with us, we coud all be waching Forest Gump and I made a cake this mornin for desert.  Take care of yourself.  Im allready feeling better, and so will you.  Love, Kristi

Hang in there, and it sounds like you are! You should be through the worst of it by tomorrow night...and by the way, I can't believe you did all that stuff today, being on day 2 of w/d's!! Way to go. How the heck did you do that?? Can't wait to see your future posts about how well you are doing and how glad you are that you quit. Awsome! Even though the w/d suck, doesn't it feel kinda good that you made a decision and stuck with it??
