How is day 4? Your physical symptoms should be getting a little better any day now. The hard part now will be readjusting to functioning sober. I'm on day 11 and am starting to see the light through the fog. Another week and you will be here with me! Hope your staying strong.

We have been in your shoes...I remember it like yesterday and that was 70 something days ago.  There are so many around here with months and years of clean time under their belts.  And guess what?  We did it and so can you. The physical WD's $uck...but you will get thru them.  Keep pushing forward.  Distract your brain and keep as active as you can.  Have you cut your sources?  No reason to be tempted when you have already come this far...cuz turning down temptation at this point is brutal.  I would have caved in a heartbeat had I had the opportunity. Push forward.  Use this time to figure out how you are going to stay clean this time around.  NA/AA...counseling...church.  Whatever path works for you, but find one.  Find support cuz the journey to sobriety is long and lonely without it...and often causes us to veer off onto a different road...a road we have traveled before that often leads to destination relapse.  You've got this.  YOU CAN DO THIS!  Keep pushing thru...moving forward!

Yes today is my day 10. I hope your having a decent day as good days are still a way to go. I am kicking 240mg of oxycodone, 32 mg of phentenal 8mgs of dilauded every 6 hours and long term acting morphine.I have 2 types of rare cancer but have decided life is not meant to be numbed out, the good or the bad. It really helps to remind yourself why you want this so badly. On day 7 I started looking around the corner as I am still waiting to turn it. Good Luck we can do this together!

He told me I can to also have same thing's just stop and go work and school for it as well, Sadly I took off this semester due to this current situation.

I am on day 9 and it helps for me to say "hours turn into days, days to weeks, weeks to months and months to years." Also what reasonable person would ever want to go through this again. Good luck like an above post said "you got this".

It's not a solution to anything...Can you think of anything else you can do to change how you're feeling?

As Diggs would say "You've got this!" Just look it as the price you pay now in exchange for freedom for the rest of your life. You won't have to be sick again, as long as you don't get back into using. It's awful, and focusing on the negative makes the pain worse. Try to think of something good that will happen as a result of your quitting. Yes, now THAT sounds cliche, but whatever it takes right?

you can do it! Maybe it's helpful to think of it as the flu, and that's something you can't fix no matter how bad you want to ya know.

Just try to pass the time. Hell you're three days in already, so stick it out. Pass the time and soothe with music, hot baths, and heating pads.

Good luck. I know my advice is inadequate atm, but just try to do anything you can to get through it other than using!

Your mind has an incredible amount of control over how you feel and your outlook. Some call it cognitive therapy, but just try to sooth with a lot of self talk that doesn't center around the pain, but around your determination and the power you have within you to choose not to use again.
