day 3

[overeasy]

You know, now that I started this process, I am no longer frightened of the withdrawals.  It stinks and I don't feel good but to be honest I do feel better than when I was oxy.  I actually smiled today and it was a real smile.  I honestly don't remember when that last time that happened.  I think now I more frightened of not doing this.  I am on my way now baby!!  Off to ride bike so I feel better quicker:)

Good luck all-

good for you. many people wont even start a detox exactly for that reason. they have caused themselves to build up so much anxiety in anticipation of what might happen, and how bad they will feel that the anxiety is worse than the actual withdrawal symptoms. your attitude is wonderful. great that you are bike riding. that is paramount in your recovery. exercise is so important to get produce the endrophins.

have you thought about any aftercare? therapist, group support, na/aa,church,addiction specialist.

keep up the good work,
be strong,
