Day 13

I am thanking God for this forum.
All of the advice has helped immensly.
I have been doing the Epson salt, the Gatorade, the aminos, and the vitamins/minerals.  Since I started (2 days ago) I have slept well - AMAZING!!
The sad part is that if I had just done what the Dr. said, I would still feel bad.......it makes me wonder.
Two years ago, I started taking Methadone 20mg - 120mg daily for the next few months.  Then I was on Roxicodone 30mg - 180mg daily for the next year.  Then I switched to Oxycontin 40mg - 320mg daily for the next few months after that.  I then weaned off to about 30mg a day and quit.  I quit so suddenly because I was under the impression that my Dr. was going to start me on something else when I had been off of the Oxycontin.  That's what I get for thinking.
This whole situation has been a blessing and a curse all at the same time.
The drugs were keeping me smoking, so when I stopped, the overwhelming urge to smoke went away.  Actually, the urge for anything went away.  All I could think about was how horrible I was feeling.
So, it's day 13 away from Nicotine as well.  That urge has returned a bit.  But, I know that it's a mental addiction.  And, I don't want to go back.
So, here I am - day 13 - feeling better, but still a bit overwhelmed.  Wondering how much I really need the Dr.s for this.  Learning about physical/mental addiction in a book doesn't compare to living it and that is becoming painfully obvious.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

God Bless,
Kim
