Question

Hey everybody and god bless to all of you for wanting this too. I am a 33 yr old male and been on vicodin for ten years past few years got up to 12 pills per day, I broke my knee, tibula, fibula, femur, and pelvis, and on top screwed up my spine and discs I am on day 4 now of cold turkey and I feel still like absolute garbage, I finally got in trouble over this, I used my friends name to pickup a vicodin script and got put in jail now on bond for a felony, just great huh? granted I was desperate because I had one pill left and did something stupid, so here I am  cold turkey and praying It goes away, ANY HELP PLEASE?? eating is the worst part for me, I have no appetite and losing a lot of weight,im normally 185 now 171 so not good.........I have never been in trouble with the law except for a dui back six yrs ago, never a felony this too shall pass, they said ill end up going to drug court or rehab, any comments would be great ..........

You in the thick of it my man but better days are very close... Your doing great!! Follow the advice given above and now is the time to start thinking about an aftercare plan (AA/NA) so once you are up to it you can prepare yourself for life after the Physical part of WDs is over... Have you thought of an aftercare plan?

Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids right now.  Gatorade is a good choice.  Eat very bland foods.  I ate pudding as the chewing motion made me gag!  The pudding just slides down!  Jello is another good thing.  Try and get some fresh air.  Walk to the end of the block or something.  The more you are up and moving the better you will feel.  You are almost thru the worst of this so hang tight.  4 days is great!!

As for the legal trouble you are in....This is sometimes a blessing in disquise.  Surround yourself with healthy sober/clean people.  Have you thought about some recovery care?  Once we get thru the wd's the mental part kicks in.  Keep posting~

It sounds like this was your bottom that you had to hit for your wake up call...keep pushing through...opiates are demons to addicts.  But every hour without, you have one more hour of freedom.  We have been in bondage for a long time, break your chains..
