Hey everybody

[Happinessbythekilowatt]

I dont really have a question I am just bored and I am on my 6th day off of the vicodins. I kind of miss the buzz but not so much. I have no reason to be numb anymore, im over the all of the bad things that happenned to me that turned me to it in the first place. I am over the physical part but still kind of goin through the emotional part and kind of feeling like I have no energy.

But when I think about going and getting a couple I remind myself, Hey , do I really want to restart with withdrawal process all over again? And that turns me away and I forget about it. I want to thank everyone for the help.

I understand exactly how you feel. I am 2 months free from my 20 hydro's a day addiction..and like you, also I quit cold turkey..but I can remember day 6 like yesterday.

Congratulations on making it through this first 6 days of detox!! You should be very happy and proud...but now here comes the mental, emotional and all kind of different cravings and moods that will hit you at any given time and day.

The best thing for me, was I had the right motivation before I even quit. That is what makes all the difference in the world...Just like you said above, when you get those mental cravings..and start to think of what it would feel like..etc, and then have to remind yourself why are doing this....That is all part of this process...and the biggest thing you do NOT want to do is compromise! - If a thought, or craving comes..recognize it for what it is...and stand your ground...KNOWING that the craving will pass, and that each day well get better and better. You can NOT even give those mental cravings a chance in play mind games, which can lead to compromising!

Trust those you have made it several months and years. I can personally can not even began to tell you HOW MUCH WORTH going through the fight, and the process was and is!!! - My drug free life is so different now, and that is what I fought for from day 1 and never stopped fighting since. It is a quality of life that I have now...that I was willing to go through anything to get...and now I have it...and the best thing is...so can you and everyone else!

So just know, when those cravings, or deppression come your way..make sure your decision is already made right now on what you want your future to be like..... without vicodin controlling you in every aspect of your life.

It is so worth the fight, and I know that day 9 was the real turning point for me..So just keep going with a great motivation, and solid decision on how you want to live your life 2 weeks from now, 2 months and 2 years from now.....All I can say is this side is soooo much better and it's almost like a whole different way of living and the light is just on and very bright filled with true joy and happieness. It is worth all the days of agony, or crying, or depression, or cravings, emotions etc...It will all pass, with each hour, and each day...every single bit of enduring this process is so worth it, you will not never ever stop being so grateful that you stuck to it, and went through this!  Your almost about to hit 1 week now!

May God Bless you, and keep fighting the good fight!
Love,
Todd
