Day 3

I would sat sleep was come and go lst night, but I stayed in bed and didn't look at the clock other than at 12:30 when I got up and took a bath and went back to bed. My head is spinning and my stomache is grumbling. Not much fun this morning

I just can't tell everyone how much it means to have your support. I have a couple friends and my sister checking in on me, but only 1 of them have had to go through this. So finding this place is a god send. Thank you a million times for hanging with me. This is it, and I will never take another pill again. I am excited about the future. Who knows I might meet my future x wife at an NA meeting. I saw a cute one on friday, I will definately be going back to that meeting.
MUCH LOVE,
Randy

Just visualize how cool your life will be as soon as this detox is behind you. You love helping others, I see it in your posting. You will soon have more experiences to share and help others get thru this. Think of no more chasing scripts or sucking up to dealers. Think of your family and how proud they will be having you back, think about going out to a nice dinner and having a normal appetite and really enjoying the simple pleasures, think about waking up not jittery, most of all think about how this struggle will be over. The mental will be there, but when your physically healthy, you can work on the mind. Your going to do it this time...I believe.

On day three I was looking for the zipper so I could unzip and get out of my own skin. This is the day when it is actually minute by minute, hour by hour, and you'll eventually be on to day four. I just looked - your initial post was 6 hours ago! That's 1/4 of the day already! Piece of cake....

Well your way you are over half way there, my way you only have 19 hours to go.  Either way it's good.  REally good.  I am so proud of you bud.  You are doing this.

Angry is the key... Thank you. I went to lay down again and got mad. I said This is bs. I am going to fight back. So i went for a walk and did a short sprint and walked home. Felt decent so I took my check to the night deposit. I have to get mad and quit being a whining liitle child. Thanks!

I know, I was counting down the hours.  I gave myself 72 hours to get thru the worst.  The first 48 I tolerated but then I only had 24 left so it really helped counting them down.  It was great when I got into the teens.  
Yay Randy, I will settle for a chuckle.  As long as it wasn't a groan.
Hang in there.

Today is going to be the worst and then it is going to get better and better, it was hard for me to keep telling myself that but its just a fact YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. try to hold onto that thought.

Take showers or a bath its hard to get yourself to actually get into the shower but once you do you will feel a lot better, drink lots of water too that will make you feel better. Your body is trying to get endorphins back into your brain and the best thing for that at this point is WATER and vitamins.

Stay strong get angry. : )

This is the great part Pat....  You don't know.  And then when you do check the time..you get to check off a bunch of hours. The clock was my total enemy on day 3.  ; ).

You're going to make it!! Try watching a movie, try ice pack for headache and excedrin or Tylenol. Not sure what kind of movies you like, but I saw Act of Valor on demand HBO last night about the navy seals and it was awesome, will definitely take your mind off of things for a couple of hours. Those guys are amazing! Hugs, stay strong!!

You can whine all you like Randy.  I am going to be whining soon.  Remember in our younger days when it was wining and dining.  Now it's whining and draining.  Sheesh it ***** to get old and be an addict.
