Set yourself up for good

I am on day 5 after almost 3 years of Fetylyn and Mscontin and percocets. I had 2, 100s of Fentynl on at a time. I am 5 days ct and doing really well. My life and old self that gets excited about life and things is coming back. I am still a little weak. I will sit down several times a day. I did all the right things that I learned on this site and I have NO NO desire to take anything that would put me back it the condition I was in. Its like sin, it good when you taste it but the  price is too high to make it worth it. One well meaning thing I would like to say Is; after spending much time reading post', I notice different types of people attitudes and success. People that send out brain messages to themselves by calling themselves "sad as hell"  another miserable day, etc. I beleive they are programming failure. One person posted and recomended the DVD 'the secret" . This DVD explains it well. I just wanted to help. This principle has worked in my life. I also have seen some good ones like "getting better" "life is great" etc.

I guess some have more problems than others and this is a support forum so we have to be there for support...And when i have needed support, everyone here is always there for me..i myself can be guilty of being too straight forward at times when i post on a post where there is alot of negativity and helplessness going on over and over...And that is not really very supportive so i just avoid posting...When i sink into a negative mood i try and remember i am in control of my moods...i can feel negative or positively...it is up to me

I have to commend you on coming off that patch c/t, I have no idea how you did that. I was on it was years and it took me about 4 month to wean to 25mcg and then jump and the jump then was hellish..... sort of like something I never want to feel again .... I remember once I took the patch off as it was making me too high and did not put one back on.. About 12hrs later that night I was like dying,, .. by the time I got a patch on it took about 3hrs to catch up.. wow was that bad..

anyway, good work,, I am 9 weeks out tomorrow (seems like 9 months) but hey,, who's counting anymore,, My mind just counts Mondays for some reason.. hehe ? no clue maybe the drug burnt me ..

I have to sort of agree with you about the post here.. This has been a great place to read and get support ( kind of like one that likes to do it on my own ) but some of these post are dreadful,, yea got to be there to support folks,, but when you spew depression everyday its going to come back to you and you are going to feel it and live it.. We all have problems and I agree with you ,, have to think and react postive.. Dont mind someone reaching out for help but when it becomes their theme song ,, makes me not want to read them anymore..

Ok let me shut-up before I get slapped around in here ..

again good work man,, never ever go back.. look forward,, there is where your life is now..

I have the book "the secret" great read!  I also feel that trying to stay positive is a major help in this battle to stay clean....depression that comes with wd is real so negativity is an easy thing to sink into....we do have control of our thoughts and that book is very informative and a help with keeping my thoughts positive
