Day 5.

I'm on day 5 now. from percts..my mind misses it but my body ain't wanting it really bad like before...use to want it so bad bad like i had to find my way to get it now it's just all in the mindset. Gotta keep busy and ask yourself , Do you wanna keep going on like this or change it...I'm glad I find this website really loving and caring people. I be so happy to be honest I think i'll cried i spent so much money on this non-sense evil thing.....dont even wanna think about. Anyways just updating with yall guys..it's hard =( i miss the feeling but I'm better off...if i made it this far no use going back. Just goin to recycle all over again like a circle...Have a good day people! More support/advice would help.

BTW i'm on subs for a week or two weeks...Thats it no longer...i'm just trying to get all that perc out of my system do yall know how long it takes? im drinking alot of water also. Thanks

I knew I wanted to quit. I was so tired of always counting pills and searching for pills and *gasp* stealing pills from family. The pills were taking over my life and I hated it. I hated who I was becoming. My plan was to taper, but being an addict the whole taper thing didn't really work for me...haha! So last Monday I was down to 2 pills and I took them at 4pm and that was it. No looking back for me. Day 1 wasn't so bad but Day 2 sucked...so go stock up on the Immodium, Ensure, Powerade, water, Thomas Recipe vitamins, and crackers. Honestly it was only a day or two of the worst and I was still able to live and me a halfway decent wife and mom:). You can do this...I know it. You're young and have your whole life ahead of you...do it sober and happy. I have faith in you!

I do think the painpills are out of your system but you're stilling probably going to have some minor W/Ds...I still do and I'm on Day 7 but it's not so much the physical as mental. Also, the subs are going to make you have some W/Ds too so you just have to bite the bullet and jump off! You can do this...just get some Ensure, Powerade, crackers, Immodium and you'll be feeling so much better in 3 days...what are 3 days?! I remember last Tuesday (my Day 1) and I was so scared of the W/Ds. I've been where you are so I really do understand. It's not nearly as bad as you get yourself psyched up for so you can do this! Good luck and I can't wait to watch you get your life back.

Hi D713, great job on being off the percocets for 5 days now! That is a huge achievement! I'm pretty sure that they are out of your system at this time so now it's time to kick the next and last drug. You can do this...you're already doing it, but I'd quite the subs now. You don't need them and you are just trading one for another. Search deep within and find all the strength you can muster up and jump ship and do this! You'll be feeling so much better in a couple of days being completely drug free. Time to take your life back!

Samantha:)
