Hi, Jake, welcome here... and congrats on your 4 clean days. you should be over the worst by now. Read the amino acid protocol on the health pages ( right side of the screen ) where you can find some advices to help you to  heal your body from the effects of the abuse ... eat healthy, a protein rich diet ( maybe some protein shakes ), exercise ( this is the best thing you can do to boost yourself and your endorphines )... keep on mind that there is no magic cure, it takes time  so give yourself time... how are you feeling today, what are your symptons ?  RLS, lack of energy , sleep and lack of motivation are those to linger longer....the mental part is tough too so you have to be positive all along this ride and work on your recovery, some kind of aftercare should be on the list ...

Hi Jake , It also depends on what amount you were taking . For example how much would you take at a time ? Would you take more during the day or not ? If you were taking say 30 mil. a day vs 100 your W/D should be a lot more easy on you . I know for me I took 30 mil. of hydrocodon a day and I was feeling fine in about 3 days but if you have been taking more it could take a bit longer . Hang in there and stay with us . You'll be fine in no time ! Good luck  .. Jimmy

oh, well, if you have to work and you are  still having problems with the diarrhea, hope you are taking something like immodium :)  also for the lack of energy, some people have drank those 5 hour energy that you have in the us.... it's a shot of energy filled with vitamins B's and some aminos, caffeine..... keep on mind that if you feel jittery,  you'd better stop taking it , ok ? :) some people feel really too excited with them so it is not a help in those cases....

Jake, getting clean will be the best present you can give yourself and your family this Christmas. It is so very worth it to get your life back.
Take plenty of hot showers to help with the RLS and other aches. Drink plenty of fluids to help flush to the toxins that are stored out of your system and we all know you're not going to have much energy or motivation to even stand up but force yourself to get some type of exercise, even if it's just going for a walk. Laying in bed for the next week will only make you feel worse(though that's all you'll feel like doing) and drag this out even longer.
Spend as much time as you can here following others stories because it helps the mental part of this. You'll recieve so much support and encouragement here that you will soon really believe that you can get past this.

Keep in mind that you simply can't do this by yourself. If it were possibe I wouldn't have had to go through this so many times myself. Good luck and keep checking with us.
