thats what i did on my first day, just cut off my phone and laid on the couch about all day, im like you im weak when they call and say i got this or that first word outta my mouth is how much, i then my mind goed to thinking 90 mph about how i can get money to go buy them lol, sometimes i wish everyone would run out and quit calling me for good, today i did take the guy some smoke, and i didnt buy any pills, but they gave me some for free lol go figure, that was bout 4 hours ago still havent took one yet, ive noticed if you keep reading these posts, taking advice, giving advice, and just being there for ppl in need its helps pass the time by that would normally spend thinking bout how to get the next fix...GOOD LUCK
I keep putting it off myself. I tried to be super mom/wife and I failed. It's no one's fault but my own. So with hearing your day by day blows and reading so many other stories, I think I can make it. But like you, my friend has more. I HATE that. It's so hard to say no. But the $$ are just about gone. And the will power is weak. I've just been turning off my phone.
well the day started good lol, kinda starting to feel tired, but not to bad not as bad as day 1 or 2 at least, you can do it ~imtired~ just remember its only a few days of hell then everything will go back to normal
good for you Blot! I hope it goes as quick with me. Thurs is the last day for me. Stick with it and give me hope lol. We can work on the smoking later lol
the clonidine didnt help with the night time sweating but they do help with the hot feelings i get during the day, today i actually feel normal again, if i feel good tommorrow i might stop taking the clonidine as i seen if you take the for long you have to taper off them lol go figure, and give me friend the pills nothing to worry bout there i know he will only give me only one 5mg a day if i have to have it, sorry to hear bout the broken arm, id say its definately hard to quit with that much pain
Glad to hear it and good luck
excuse typing, broken arm
u r doing great, read all your posts yesterday
get rid of vics, honestly, one leads to 2, leads to 3, leads to.....
did the clonidine help?
keep up good work,
lauren
the tapering thing definately didnt work for me, if i had em i took em lol, but since i went two days without them besides for the one 5 and felt how bad this withdrawl is, i dont want to go through it again, withdrawaling sucks, i gave my friend the pills he is only going to give me one if i have pain, but so far i feel great and may end up flushing them lol
thats great to know, ive never felt so good without pills that i can remember, like i said earlier i may not even have a back problem just withdrawals im suppossed to go to the chiropracter tommorrow, depending on my back i might not ever go back lol
Good luck and don't give in. I hope to be there soon. Today is the first day of tapering down for me and so far so good. I took one at 8 oclock and told myself not another one til noon and its just now noon and usually I would be on #3 by now. so my plan is 6 pills a day til saturday then 4 a day over the weekend and if I can sustain that next drop some more next weekend then quit for good.
The same thing happened to me, but on Day 4. Michael777 told me about an interesting stage in recovery called the "Dopamine Dump". Upon recovery, your brain dunps a huge amount of dopamine (feel-good chemical) on the brain. This will last a couple of days and you will feel great.
after the 3 times ive withdrawaled off these bastards im not taking large quantities thats for damn sure, im going to let my friend that gave me the clonidine hold them and only give me a 5mg whenever im in bad pain no more than once daily though, im sick of these pills controlling me im done letting them, i feel great today and i actually like feeling normal no way im going back, now all i need to do is quit smoking lol that will be my next task when i kick this one lol
throw those things out now. You know what can happen
