i'm on day 5 and i don't have much energy until i go to work and then it takes a min to get energy but i do eventually get it. Find your self a project and keep yourself busy. you will feel better. Their is life after pills. don't let them run your life anymore. Keep it going keep your head up. talk to me anytime it helps me.

i know how you feel i have two kids and going thru a divorce but my husband took them also he actually gave me my first one. I am going to an outpatient monday thru friday few hours a day cuz i have detox myself already and i promise you will live without them. it is still a little rough but my pride is much stronger i never thought i would defeat them pills and i did so come on you can do this don't let them run you anymore that is the worst feeling in the world. I know you will hate doing this but flush them and never go back. Open up to your wife and family and tell them you have a problem you want to fix. They will support you. You can do this. I'm doing it with you too.

Thanks a lot!  Boy would it be great to have someone to lean on.  I hide this from everyone.I haven't told my closest friend or wife.  I'm a practicing professional and very functional.  But it's such a lie.  I just hate it and want to stop before I ruin my life or lose my career.  I know I'm onll on a relative few a day, but it runs my life and is in my evry thought.  It sucks.  I feel like a piece of ****.  I've gone as long as four days without it before, but I would have a beer or two and a valium to work it off.  It sucked at times but I also felt I was getting more normal again....wanting to go and and socialize more  and had more energy around my kids.  I'm just so afraid of the pure detox.  Going in patient isn't an option because of what I do.  I can't leave what I do for that period of time.  It just ain't kosher.  Is there are outpatient that is out there?  I really don't want the methadone or subox as I heard those make things worse.  Thanks for any support you can give me.
