Day 4

[littlebit667]

Well, this is my 4th day of my second try at stopping hydro addiction.  I have to say using Thomas' Recipe has really  made a difference.  I  am not miserable and have been able to actually get out and do things to keep my mind active.  The last time I stayed at home, slept when I could and was miserable the rest of the day.  It was so bad my hubby (who is bipolar) was afraid I was dying.  I finally  decided to tell him and my daughter about what was going on.  It really helped up to a point.  My daughter already knew..she is pretty smart..hubby had no clue.  Well, I stayed off for all of 5 months and my back pain returned and I ran back to the pills like a scared puppy.  So, here I am again....I knew about Thomas recipe..but felt so bad I could not even get into the car to get the stuff.  I ran to the store this time before it got too bad.  I am actually doing pretty good...except for wanting those damn pills.  This forum has been a wonderful resource.  When I feel like I will explode I come here and read thru some of the posts and it renews my strength.  Thanks for that.  I want to feel again...not just feel nothing.  I am determined to make it work this time.

Thanks for the advice littlebit. I have vitamins, apple juice and bananas.

Thank you littlebit! You are giving me courage. The physical will be what it will be. I have vitamins, applejuice and bananas ready. It's the mental. I'm freaking myself out and need to calm down.
Thanks again!

[Innerstrength67]

Thanks littlebit. You are giving me courage. I'm so scared! How did this ever happen to me, to any of us. Being terrified to go through a day without pills is a living nightmare.
Thank you!!!!!!!!

[littlebit667]

All we can do is take it one day at a time (I think I have heard that before :)  )  Thanks, I am just one of the ones still walking the walk and trying to talk the talk.  I had looked over many boards and this one seemed to be the least scary and the most helpful.  I had NEVER intended to even post about myself, let alone feel I was competent enough to help someone else.  If I have, wowowowow!  I am honored to help and honored to be helped.

I stopped CT.  I was doing 8-11 10s of hydro a day.  The TR really helped this time.  I am following it as closely as I can.  I am doing the zinc, b6, magnesium, manganese, LL-tyrosine and Vit. A.  Just check the recipe, because I am not the designer and have no clue what a dr. would say.  I researched it a bit online before I started.  I have restless leg pills (I have that anyway) so do not do the potassium and I had no tranquilizers.  I could not find pill Imodium and can't swallow the liquid without it coming back up, so I am using a generic of that. If you can find the name brand or can stand the liquid..go for it.  The part that has made the biggest difference is I have felt good enough to get out and do errands and be in the sun a bit.  I hope you can decide to take the jump and get back in the sun. Thanks!

[Innerstrength67]

Congrats littlebit. Question; are you completely following the TR? I'm thinking of jumping ship tomorrow and I'm terrified. I can't go on like this. I try and ween but can't. I hate freaking out when I know my pills are running out. I took a lot today so I can't even think about what I will feel like tomorrow. Thanks:)

[littlebit667]

I understand the feeling...boy..do I ever.  I have a lot of friends and have been noticing them not as "friendly" of late.  I hope your w/d symptoms do not keep you from staying sober.  Thomas' recipe has really helped me this time.  I hope tomorrow continues improvement and I don't have some delayed things crop up.  I have meds for restless legs..I had problems with that before I even had pill problems.  It is even hard to admit that here.  Thanks for response and I am glad you felt able to drop by and encourage me.  I hope the same for you.

Hey there,

Im on day 4 of percocet withdrawl,  You sound like you're doing much better than your first attempt, and your husband and daughter are aware of the problem.  This will help so much.  I denied my addiction to my family and my girlfriend until it just spiraled out of control, and here I am, day 4 with you.  I wish I could say I felt great but in reality it's not the case.  My anxiety is very bad and I'm starting to get the chills and cold sweats.  This isn't fun.  I like you want to be normal again.  I especially relate to you when it comes to wanting to 'feel' again.  I have been faking so many emotions for so long... I just want to feel something, anything, real.  Good luck and please stay sober, I and many others are all suffering through this together, and we all have each other.
