I'm doing so well

I dont know if I can do this. I haven't slept in 2 days, my mind is a crazy mess. I'm thinking about drugs every minute. Someone please give me some advice! I was thinking about going to the er and telling them what's going on...but I have no clue what they'll do or even if they're lock me up! Help!

You will make it by staying in the moment...you can get through the next twenty min., then the next 40, min..etc..til you can do 24 hrs. That's all you have to do. Did either of you look at Thomas's Recipe? There is an OTC sleep aid called attiril something like that...has valerian root, melatonin..etc..
Just keep on taking deep breaths..that helped me. DO this for yourself first then for your family. There is no happy endings for addicts that continue to use..
Welcome. First step is admitting you have a problem

I used the last of my 30s sunday, but scored a few vics tuesday. So I guess km on day 2.
I just want to run away...hide until all this is over. I know, wake up from my dream land, but its a nice thought.
I really thought it would be a little easier this time around cause I WANT to quit this time...all the other times was usually cause I was out. 6 years of this has got to flipping stop! I JUST WANNA SLEEP!

That's why we are all here. Because we no longer want to live with drugs. This forum is a great place to begin. Scroll down to right side bottom of page..see Thomas's Recipe, Amino Acid Protocol..supplements.vitamins, etc..that surely will help with w/d's. Make sure to stay hydrated..water/Gatorade real important. Hot bath if you can.if not shower...take a walk around the block..again how many days are you cleaning 'up'?
Welcome.

I'm not sure what programs they have for women, but I'm familiar with the guy who run the program for men (Russ Taylor) and he's amazing.  This will be a good resource for you.

Going into detox is NOT an option for me. I have no clue what to do. I've been an addict for 6 years...doc being 30s, oxy, and ambian, though I took anything when I had to. I get a script for ambian tom, I have no plans on abusing it, I just want to sleep. This is not my first time down this road...but this time I WANT to quit, just not sure I can do it right now

Take some deep breaths. What are you w/ding from? Is there anyone there with you? Sleeplessness is common, and so is chaotic thinking...but tell us more so we can get a better idea of where you're at.
