You sound good Free Amazing what a couple of hours sleep can do for us :) You are starting to come out the other side ! Geez wait till you do get sleep and wake up and you are not dope sick.. Awesome ! Keep the positive attitude it will take you far. once the wd is over you may start thinking about some kind of aftercare all kinds of things can make this.. a pastor addiction specialist your own Dr. AA NA whatever you feel comfortable in. it will help to keep you on track.

DON'T DO COLD TURKEY!! WEEN YOURSELF OFF OR GET YOUR DR TO HELP IF YOURE NOT STRONG ENUF ALONE!! I BEG of you! Its too difficult for me at least. I HAD to cuz i was pregnant. YOU HAVE A CHOICE MAN!! Dont do it!! youre asking for a relapse! Do it 1/2 a pill at a time if you have to...one day at a time!! (they dont say that just to hear themselves talk ya know!!) its a very popular saying for a reason!! email me if u need to talk ANYTIME. I am an experienced pill taker/AND w/draw-er! lol (but i am, and i KNOW this FOG u speak of, and i know how  BADLY U YEARN for your life back!! But i'm telling you, addiction is stronger sometimes, you may want your life back w/ more than anything more deep w/in your very soul and exsistence! But those damn Oxy's r the devil. and we all know how powerful the damn devil CAN be....  Just be careful if u do the CT route. Dont be TOO brave tho, ur only human. if it gets to be too much, check yourself inbto a detox facility or WEEN off the damn pills!! Detox is not so bad..they give you subutex and its actually quite easy after the 1st 3 days. I actually was on subutex for many years just to stay away from these damn pills and heroin, Yes, i finally got driven to heroin because the pills were not enough. SO LISTEN TO ME, A SEASONED VETERAN OF THIS CRAP. DO NOT DO COLD TURKEY!! email me if u need to thruout your ordeal(whatever decision u choose to do!) i know u'll need someone like me (***@****)

i'm one day behind you. i stopped today ct and am fortunate enough to enter medical detox tonight but I want you to know your not alone and I can relate to everything you said.  If your wife is as great as you say,like my boyfriend has been with me through 5 years of chronic back pain and 3 years of oxys THEY deserve us to be here and with them.....i mean sober and able to feel not have that big space of pills in between you.  I understand soooo much when you said you miss your wife and you have physical been there but when your on pills your not, you feel soooo far away at least I do.  I know we need to do this for ourselves but I just wanted you to know I get it and I believe we can overcome this.  I hope you find your peace!

It is becoming weaker and weaker the stronger you get...You have to starve the beast.  You have days behind you and you are that much closer to your goal.  Hang in there.  You are battling the worst parts of the physical effects of the wds..it doesnt last forever and it is only for a moment..Hang in there it does get better.

I can remind you of your motivation.. a close relationship with your wife. a chance to live as a Free person instead of a Slave. To lift yourself out of the Fog your life has been in. To be Responsible and Trustworthy. To save a ton of Money. To not Continue to Kill yourself on a daily bases. I can come up with more if you like.. You are getting real close Free.. do not loose your resolve now. You are stronger then a Damned pill.. Hang in ok lesa

sounds like my 2- 4 days and that was only 2 days ago- it does get better.  I have my bad moments but nothing like that!.  Breathe, soak and talk to us.  Keep positive and know it just a few days you will feel better, not great, but definitely better.

Hi. I am lucky enough to have insurance that covered in-patient detox from ms:contin,so I was able to get SUBOXONE to help deal with the withdrawals. I was under the impression that after the drug was out of your system withdrawal would be over,unfortunatly that's not true. The reason i'm telling you this is so you don't get discouraged if you don't stop w/d soon. My Dr. told me it is the chemical imbalance opiates cause which cause the w/d's,so you feel them longer. The really bad stuff like the crawling skin,bones feeling like they are jumping out of your skin,vomiting,runs,cold sweats,etc....should only(ONLY isn't quite the RIGHT word) last three to five days. But you shouldn't expect to feel right any time soon(possibly as long as a couple of months  ). I've been off suboxone for two weeks and I am still getting chills up my spine,yawn a lot and constantly tired. Again Free, I'm not telling you this to discourage you,but to arm you with the knowlage this may take longer than one thinks. HANG IN THERE and it's got to get better, right? Good luck and be STRONG!  (P.S. if you can get your doc to Rx suboxone you won't need to hurt as bad)

HEY Dude I was just going to ask how your doing but I can see by your post you well into the withdrawals ...just hang in there a lot of us have been where your at and it ant no fun but it is doable ...use your symptoms to strengthen your resolve to quit ...right now I would try a good hot soak in the tub...it helps out with a lot of what your feeling and you may need to take several soaks a day to get threw this...try and do something to occupy your time like rent a funny movie or just get lost in some music for a wile anything to get your mind off how lousy you feel right now....remember this is only temporary you will make it thew...praying helped me ...right now your in the middle of acute withdrawals it shouldn't get any worst then it already is so just hang tight YOU CAN DO THIS..I will check up on you later good luck and God bless....Gnarly
