Honestly, what you should do is just tough it out. I've went through WD sooo many times...makes me sick to think about it. Just do it, hon! It WILL get better, I promise you!

today has been bad, i went for a swim and just after i came out of the pool i nearly past out, the pool asst came over and helped me and also gave me a wee talk about my problem with pain killers and my W/D, he told me to go to the doctors to get some more help which i am, i got the doctors today at 17:10pm (GMT)  I also told the rest of my family about my problem and they all understand, my dad going to the doctors with me for support and see what can be done, lets hope i get the right meds and help to help me get thro this, and also im going to ask the doctor if there any meeting around so i can go to and get more help there. as i keep on saying i have to beat this and i will.

hey you and welcome to the fun stuff !!! i would tapper down as low as you can go during that time get and stay hydrayted and when you finaly do jump be prepaired for some bad days and its just your body making you pay for cutting it off of the opeits and start taking vitams b12 b6 stay hydrayted and give your body the chance to reverse back to it normal operating position and this will take a couple of days but hang tough and believe me it realy does gett better and you will star feeling better in a few days then the truly hard part begins staying clean !!!! but coming here and staying busy helps alot but at the end of the day it comes down to you wanting to stay clean .. but just give your self a chance even if you have to come here 40times a day watever it takes to help yourself get threw this and we all are here for eachother  hang in there
