I can't sleep I can't eat everyone else is taking care of my kids when will this end I can't handle it I use to be strong but I don't know anymore. I use to be the rock that handle everything.  I haven't slept since Monday or worked since Tuesday night what am going to do!!!!!!!

You are doing so good...especially making it through the dr apt. Keep going..it really will get better. I would get caught up in thinking "just one pill will make me feel better". I had to train myself to remember that all one more pill is going to do is make me relapse, feel guilty, fell like crap, and start w/d's all over again. You have made it this far and you can do it. I think we all feel a little crazy during that intial w/d..but it will go away and you will feel better than you probably have in a looong time!

You gotta get up and TRY, TRY, TRY.   The only way to the other side is through... like Ron says, we've all done it with the help of each other on here, so we have faith in you too.  Don't give up the good fight.   Each hour is an hour you didn't use and before you know it, another day has gone by.   If you can find a way to focus your mind on anything else other than how you feel, it helps.   Listen to music, read, watch a comedy, go for a walk, go for another walk if you need to.   Each thing you do without narcotics is another memory and milestone right now, so be proud of all the milestones you have made so far.   Leaving the Dr without a scrip is HUGE!!!     You chose to keep fighting.  Good for you.  Now go eat something like Ron says.  LOL!  :)

The first week is hard every hour seemed like a day for me. I don't know how many times I said "I can't take this"but I did. Take it minute by minute if you have to but just remember it will get better! I know that's hard to believe right now but read these post and you will see this said over and over. Hang in there and stay strong. I promise it will be worth it!

You CAN do this!!   This feeling doesn't last forever.   How long has it been?   The first week is the hardest.  You WILL find you again.   Your body is mending the damage, so give it time to heal.   This didn't happen overnight, so it's gonna take a lil time for your body AND mind to reconnect.   :)
