Today will be easy just a mental deal but be prepared for a mental and physical fit come the morning the magic for me was taking vitamins the act of taking pills at certain time like the vics kinda faked me out I drank a pool of Gatorade and the shower was my best friend until the water bill came but oh well best of luck ..
Success? Absolutely! First, totally commit to getting off the pill ride that we call and know as addiction. Know this. You can do this. Withdrawals usually last 4 - 7 days and are not pleasant. But they are temporary. After that comes the mental part and it does take longer and requires some effort. But very doable. I just finished Day 24 clean after decades using the same drug for 15 - 20 years. What really helped me is what you have already done. Reaching out and finding this site. God did not put you or them here by accident. You are here for a reason.
I posted at about 38 hrs and thank God I did. The help, info, and support found here was what got me through the next week.
Plenty of water, Gatorade, music, exercise, walking, Immodium, vitamins,
bananas, Epsom salts for hot baths, and a very open, positive attitude can get you through. You can do this. You deserve to be free.
Post, post, read, post, read, post. Get the idea?
This will not kill you. It will SAVE you. Bless you.
JUST FOR TODAY!!!
Post and let us know
Hi welcome. I'm come off of 5-6 10 mg hydro/vic/perc addiction. My first round was about a 5 year use. It is possible, the physicial part is very very possible. The next part is mental, and you have to be sharp and ahead of your addiction.
You are getting close to the top of the mountain and the rest will be down hill. Time to set yourself free from these pills.
Best of Luck and keep posting.
Keep reading posts if there isn't any action here. Many people have had success getting clean with the support of other addicts. The withdrawals are tough but so worth it! You can do this ! The first 4 days is hard . I took lots of hot baths. Prayed. ( mostly just "Help me God".).
I used a pet warmer in my clothes. Take a walk or other exercise ASAP as it helps to work the drugs out of your system and increase your strength. Drink lots of healthy fluid. Go to meetings when you are able, it helps too !
You're on your way! Keep us posted on your progress. It's tough but worth it.
Cheers
