finally i see the light at the end of this nightmare!

hi everyone, today is my 4th day clean from norco. 10 to 15 a day. I still have weakness but today i dont feel as depressed. I called out of work. I was just to scared to go. Its ok, i have three sick days that i can claim. I started my day with a cup of coffee then my son and i took a long walk. Its funny cause he kept telling me to slow down. He has no idea im getting clean. No one knows, i just told them i have the flu. I have no choice but to go to work tomorrow. Any advice on what i could do to feel better. Like more energy. Thanks for any answers.

Congrats getting through the first part.!

Now you just have to get through the blahs, which is a lot easier if you take the amino acids along with a good multi vitamin with B complex, and at least 1000mg vitamin c a day.
You can find a list of amino acids at a link at the bottom of the main page- which help make essential endorphins that you are lacking, and will be lacking for some time while your body slowly starts producing them again, and return to normal levels. Why suffer through a long "flu" when you don't have to? It will help alot with the erge to take those lousy opiate pills as well!

Thanks you too. They say withdrawing is the easy part. It's staying clean that takes work. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

Congratulations. That's great. I'm on day 4 too and to be honest, my WD have been so mild. I was terrified for so long to quit because of the WD. Look up the Thomas Recipe on the main page. I didn't use everything on it but I have taken B Complex, multi Vit, Liver Cleansing herbs, ammonium, excederine and a ton of Gatorade. Walking helps a lot too.
Your definitely over the hump.
I'm never turning back. But for me, Aftercare is crucial because I'm a hard core addict. I'm lucky in that I'm able to tell a lot of people.
Keep posting!
