Jumping ship/ cold turkey .

[Enuffisenough]

So I weaned from 20 to 10 give or take..... I'm going CT tomorrow afternoon. Thing is, I have to push myself to keep on trucking. I can't lay in bed. I have full weekend. Busy, I'm planning on lots of Tylenol, immodium, Gatorade, hylands, maybe a benzo when home and sleep aid for night. Grumpy is coming . Yikes . Anyone continue daily life with pain ? Withdrawals ?

There is another I'm reading " pill head". Not as good. Same book you read I believe about the arms. So sad. I'm dreading tomorrow . God give me strength !

I read a book by the same name, but it must be a diff book. This girl about had her arms amputated, the pictures were nasty!

But I would like to read the book you read. Do you mind sharing the author?

Ps. I only had Rls for 1/2 a day if that. I'll pray same for you!

Tylenol and Alleve were my BFFs for the first week. Now I don't need them every day random maybe twice this past week. I had back surgery a little over a year ago and had a backache daily after no nerve pain but a constant ache.. After I stopped the opiate affair I do not wake up daily with the back ache I had before.. Give your self a few weeks free from opiates and reevaluate your pain. It could just be rebound pain ..
Best wishes!

I certainly will. Perhaps I'll fight the mind battle. Just read a good book. Dying to survive! Whoa, I learned a lot re detox, 12 step, NA and why we use. We must let go of past, find what triggers us, forgive others, love ourselves. Look forward and keep guard up. We are stronger then we think. No more masking my wounds Witt the norco bandage !

Maybe you'll get lucky. It's worth a try! I wish you well. I think being busy during the day will be great IF you can function at a minimum level. Might help you sleep, too, if you're nice and tired. Good luck and let us know how you're doing!

[Enuffisenough]

Thanks. I'm gonna try. I read sometimes the thought of WD is worst then WD itself. Mental. So I will keep moving , baths and make myself get up . I have no choice

It's not an easy thing to do and it depends on how dependent you are on them. U may be able to function or u may be a zombie. You will just have to see! Benzo will help just be careful with those too!!
