recovery
I have been addicted to hydrocodone on and off for the past three years. (100 mg) per day. I have recently went through detox, and am wondering how long it will take before the strong cravings stop. I know I need a plan of recovery, and am working on that right now. Can anyone suggest things to do to help me get through this?
Hi everybody...do you have a automotive business? do you have a Maintenance Garage? ... do you need to save your time and your employees
time?
so you need to computerize your business with the best Automotive software ever ALLDATA ... you can check your clients car as easy as driving them and as fast as the car speed ... you can't stand the ALLDATA software price?
so you need it cheaper .... we have it with the crack ... 8 DVD's and one install CD ...
all for less than the half original price ... if you don't know ALLDATA the 1st Automotive software you can check it here www.alldata.com.
thank you
p.s you can email me here .... esmat_victor***@**** OR esmat_victor***@****

Thanks guys ... I know what I have to do ... it will be hard when the weekend comes around .. but I am strong and I know I can do it !!!
the only way to ensure you won't experience that again is to not do coke again. i dabbled with it a looong time ago, and it never turned into a habit. if i were you, i would never put myself thru that again...next time you might not be so lucky. my friend went thru that type of thing, and she never tried it again...even when we were all doing it right in front of her.
i can say over and over not to do it again, but only you are going to make the choice. being an addict and having gone thru hell, makes me want to try to convince you never to fool around with drugs. coke isn't physically addicting, and you will probably never have to go thru what us opiate addicts do trying to detox.... you just might die from a heart attack.
listen to your body, and keep writing if it helps.

I don't mean to sound "LOUD" about it, I have done plenty of all nighters and not one has been pleasant. I have never went to the hospital....felt like sometimes i was gonna die.....
thank god that that drug does not grab you physically or you would really be up shits creek without a paddle.
seriously, if you are exp. things like that when you are doing the "weekend thing" think about how you are gonna be feeling
before you start to use.........
try to stay away from your triggers..............
give your heart and your body a break.........
keep in touch, be strong

5\14 : i have been getting the (shits) for the last day and a half. i am glad you posted the recipe. i was in need of it myself. do you see a great deal of difference once on?
my legs have been good to me the last couple of nights although
my abdominal area seems to be picking up where they left off.
i am sure this will pass in time (as long as we stay clean and strong)

I read a posting from some time ago .. below
I recently experienced the same thing this weekend .. first time ever feeling this way .. I did go to the hospital .. i was terrified .. It turned out the last Bump I did was of like 80% proof stuff .. and I didn't know ... I honestly thought I was going to die .. my poor boyfriend was freaking too . I went to the hospital and had a heart rate of 130.. normal I guess is between 70-100. Believe me this was my perfect excuse to QUIT .. problem is .. is that it is a social thing .. I only do it 2 or 3 days a month ( fri or sat usually ) and I only usually do on average .5 grams ... My fear is how do I adapt ? for 2 years now this has been habit.... ?

Question Posted By: Ckivlan on Tuesday, May 29, 2001
I was in this forum a few months ago with questions about cocaine and alcohol. Well I am back with another question concerning cocaine. Memorial Day.... Did a few backs of cocaine with a friend and felt great! Went home around 2:30am and layed in bed and thats when it all began. My eyes were rolling in the sockets... my heart began to race... I began to sweat... I couldnt breathe very well. I was breathing but it felt like i could not get enough air! I took a hot bath and felt like i was going to faint... took a cold bath...i was freezing. Anyways, I tryed so many things to feel better up until 6:30 am when i finally began to calm down. It is now 12:17 and i slept about 4 hours. My heart was racing so fast I was about to call an ambulance but my mom would kill me before the cocaine would! I was having these weird convulsions. My arms were shaking and my fingers haven been shaking for months. I really felt like i was dying.... I can't explain how horrible I felt. My question: Was I having an overdose??? or was I just going through something that everybody goes through when they do too much cocaine? Couls I have died??? my EXTREME question... I am a 20 female in Miami, Florida.... I dont have a drug habit but i do tend to use cocaine about once a month and i always over do it... I am leaving into the Navy in October so I hope that will help me alot... if I use cocaine again and i feel my heart racing and etc.etc.etc.... can you PLEASE reccomend something to help when im experiencing this? Is there a special remedy? ANYTHING... please name a few things. Thank you so much.

EAT LOTS OF BANANA'S AND DRINK GATORADE FOR THE LEG SPASAMS/CRAMPS/ RESTLESS LEGS. I DON'T DRINK THE GATORADE AFFTER
2PM IT SOME TIMES KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT IF I DO.
THESE TO THINGS REPLACE THE LOST POTASIUM/(BANNAS) AND LOSS OF ELECTRO LITES (GATORAIDE.
ps . IF YOU HAVE THE SHITS OR THE RUNS STILL, IT IS SUGGESTED TO TAKE IMODIUM. THE RUNS WILL DEPLETE YOU BODY OF SO MUCH NUTRITION, IT WILL ALSO CAUSE THE WITHDRAWLS TO BE MUCH NORE PAINFUL.

Princess,
It sounds like you have the worst behind you. Take my advice, don't fall off the wagon. Here's a reminder to you, (I am starting detox this sunday) the life I am living sucks so bad, I would trade with you right now. Be proud of the job you've done thus far, you are doing great. Hang in there, bite the bullet.

I HAVE BEEN ABOUT 9 DAYS CLEAN AND MY LEGS STILL WAKE ME UP EVERY NIGHT. I STARTED TO EXERCISE IN THE GYM (I WAS TOLD THAT- YOUR NATURAL PAIN KILLERS WOULD HELP)AND THE PAIN SUBSIDED. THINK OF ALL THE PAIN YOU ARE GOING THRU NOW. IT WILL GO AWAY IN TIME I AM TOLD. IF YOU START WITH THE BAD HABITS AGAIN IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE............

Hi everyone I am sorry to burst in on someone else thread but it would not let me post a question(too many). First of all I want to say that reading all of ur postings has been very comforting for me!!!! I am on day 16 of cold turkey off of 25-30 7.5's a day, im still not sure that all this is even worth it. My legs still ache my head hurts, I have NO energy!!!! its seems like the longer I go the worse the cravings get. I have a hard time just getting off the couch most of the time let alone when im at work. I know i must sound like a cry baby but does anyone know how much longer it may be till i get any energy at all? I am taking a strong multi and amino acids, i am also on paxil, but i swear this depresion and lack of energy is going to may me go back to good ole dr watson, any advice?
LAPPER AND PHILLY BEE ARE THE SAME I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOT MIXED.........
ANYWAY I WALKED INTO THE N.A. MEETING LAST NIGHT LIKE A LOST PUPPY AND WAS WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS. I ACTUALLY BLUSHED AT HOW MANY HUGS I GOT. HIPPY, HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT AFTER ATTENDING SO MANY MEETINGS THAT YOU FELT YOU WERE OKAY TO NOT GO? (ASSUMING YOU WENT ALOT)I AM NOT IN ANYWAY SAYING I AM DETERED FROM THEM AT THE LEAST.I TALK TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY BEEN GOING FOR 20-30 YRS. THAT SEEMS LIKE ETERNITY. DO YOU THINK THAT EVEN IF YOU FELT TOTALLY RECOVERED THAT YOU WOULD FEEL BAD NOT GOING? ALTHOUGH THAT IS CERTAINLY A BETTER HABIT THAN SOME OF THE OTHERS I HAVE FORMED....HAHAHAHAHA.........
EVERYBODY IN THIS FORUM HAS MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE TO ME AND I MEAN THAT FROM THE HEART.
KEEP THE DRAGON IN HIS CAGE...................

sorry if i butchered your nick name. welcome to the forum and you are right on the spot about recovery oriented places to go.
we see one another through the bad times and praise for good things that happen in our lives. i don't want to always be known as an addict. i am not ashamed, but there is so much good going on in this world. i want to see it all, clean when i get there. i am on methadone maintenance program. it was my 3rd relapse on dilaudids-bumping them of course. i had fallen into the abyss, but i had experience with methadone before, so i got myself there quickly before i died. it really saved my life. i have detoxed before and will again when i can. good luck to you.
i've been in rehab 3 times. NA is a wonderful place to go. my home group accepts me on methadone. Welcome again to this forum.
