It's been 12 hours and I'm already tripping

[Nomonorcs]

It's been 12 hours since my last dose. I took the last 3 10/325 Norcs.

I'm obsessing. I hate this. Sweats and chills. All I can do is make a call.. Just a few. Maybe have a few on hand I'm case? I'm soooo weak!

Feeling defeated.

[Nomonorcs]

I feel like death. I feel like I am going to climb the walls and can't focus...

It's hard to post but I get on here when I have the strength.r

Pray for me

Well how goes it  by know your in the jaws of it   in what is called ''acute withdrawal'' if your up and more then likly you are try laying on the couch rolled up in a blanket with some soft music playing  if your legs are still going nutz take the blanket and rap them in it tightly like swaddling a baby it will help  if all else fails try a hot soak this will relive a lot of the symptoms and last if your up shaking at 3am and all alone pray it helps keep posting for support may God be with you....Gnarly

Right now everything is going to be EXHAUSTING...DETOX IS EXHAUSTING..SCORING PILLS IS EXHAUSTING...

Being an addict is the hardest job in the world!!  Think about EVERYTHING you had to do just to stay high.  Even if you didn't think you were high your body was.  
Now your body is in a survival mode..it's trying to balance itself back out.  That's why we don't sleep.  Twitching, cause our neoroceptors were all chemically juiced up.  The constant bathroom, our body is dumping toxics.  Our  bodies forgot what it's like to be natural.  And now your body is SCREAMING FOR A FIX...

If you cave in and take a pill you'll just reset the detox timer.  Once you gave in its harder and harder to go thru detox...

Kind of like quiting a sport, or club or anything.  It's easier to quit than stay the course.  Also, once you've allowed yourself one...than it's more more more.
1 is too much and 1000 isn't enough.

I messed up after a mild detox and am at about 36 hours. It set me back taking that one pill to help but 36 hours and a few meetings later I'm ok!!! It does get better. I promise. I'm at 36 hours for the second time in a week and I'm ok. I even made it to the grocery store and ate a good dinner. There is life soon after the pills. Hope you are doing ok.

Thanks for the prayers Amanda! I need them baddddd right now :(

[Nomonorcs]

Thank you Ejm!

Re-wiring my daily habits is what I'm trying to do. I keep hearing that I should just lay around and mope so I keep forcing myself to move, walk, stretch, go outside and sit in the sun (we live on the lake). But it's exhausting!  

I'm trying to think about all the things I'm blessed to have and that keeps me sane.

Are you having a good day?

[Nomonorcs]

You are so right! Other than my husband, no one else knows about my addiction. I guess part of my recovery will be telling and trusting people with my secret. Honestly, I don't know any of you but I feel more safe telling you about myself.. I guess it's fear of being judged.

Thank God for all of you and this forum. Knowing I'm not alone and hearing how each of you have gone through the same thing has been my life line!

Still fighting the fight!

On a good note, my back has been killing me. In addition to the hot baths, I have a heating bad glued to my back and it feels amazing.

For potassium I have bananas but also read that Avocado is a great source. I ate half slice of English muffin with fresh avocado on top and believe it or not, the tension I had on upper back is gone! Can this be real? Pain eased without a pill??!!

Hallelujah, it's a good hour right now :)

[Ejm7263]

Holding you up in prayer. It's worth it. Epsom salt baths as often as it takes. I'm 17 days off methadone & I've had plenty of those minutes, seconds...
I just get on here just like you did.
Then the second your able, do everything different.
Meetings, cut all doctors & connections.
So glad your here.

Thank you, Amanda!

Hi, im preying you find the strength to pull through this very tough time : )

[Nomonorcs]

Hello! Just coming out of a nap. Can't quite call it sleep.. All the twitching and tossing!

First, thank you so much for all the amazing support! I keep telling myself I need to crawl, inch, scratch my way out of the darkest of places.. I guess I had a weak moment (faced with staring down that hole).

I didn't break.. But definitely fighting!

You all are the BEST!

I'll keep posting.. Now, will try and eat a banana

[gnarly_1]

[dominosarah]

shortie said it all, if you can call for pills call for help instead.  I can guarantee you the pills arent the answer.  It will make it even worse.  Dig deep and come out fighting for you, you can do this.  Keep talking to us.

[shortie_man]

Please, stay strong. Find a reason. I found a half dozen just this morning. I found them here on this site. Others, who found it worth their time to reach out to me and respond. If you fall get right back up. Never give up the fight. If you can call for pills call for help instead. Anything or anyone to distract you until you get past the craving. Do this for yourself because you are worth it.

[jojolovesherboys]
