24 hrs in, @ work, miserable

[NorcBgone]

I'm officially at 24 hrs since my last dose and trying to pump myself up for the work day. Its time to suck up the pain and spit out the demon in my body. Its funny how a little yellow pill can seem so important at the time. Well, it's time to say goodbye forever, and get rid of this drug hazed lifestyle I've created.  Guess I'm just looking for a little humor to keep up my spirits. Hope everyone has a good day.

so glad to hear from you.  I took the dog to the park today to let her run like crazy.  I know she needed it because she is already asleep.  I am so proud of how you are doing.  keep up the good work.

Matt - My dogs are getting lazy w/ me. When I take them outside they just lay in the sun, so I try to hang as long as I can. The sun really does make me feel better. I'm just extremely lethargic today. The only thing that hurts is my ankles and feet, so uncomfortable. BUT, I'm thinking how strong I am, and I WILL make it thru this.

Quit - I am sleeping a few hours which is better than nothing. Just thankful I'm on day 5. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. All I've been doing lately is praying!

Norc---How ya doin this morn? I hope you are feeling better and got some sleep last night. I know when I went through w/d sleep was hard to come by for me until about day 6, so it's right around the corner. Keep hanging in there you will make it to the other side. I will pray that God gives you the strength to make it through----quitin

Hope you're having a good day today.  Hope you got some sleep and got the dog walked.  I know my dog is dying for a walk, so we decided we are going to take her to the park and let her run the last six days out of her.  I finally brushed her today and I think she senses we are doing better.  

I am so proud of how you are doing right now.  Keep posting and keep moving forward.  We are all here for you

thanks girl! I'm hanging in there as much as i can. trying not to think about it, but the creepy crawlies are giving me trouble. I know about shame. I feel the same about docs getting us into this, but hey they certainly didn't get me THIS far into my problem. I think everytime I started to wd I got scared, but I'm finally done with this stuff. Trying to find those good 5 minutes that are intermittant to keep me going forward.

Gosh I know how you feel right now.. It's the pits!  The first time I went cold turkey i freaked out. The burning chest, the getting in and out of bed a thousand times a night..
The worst was, my pupils dialed and I was seeing trails in the early morning driving my kid to school.  SCARRRRY!  So I went to see my Doctor. He got me in this mess I figured he darn well better get me out. All he could do was give me encouragement, some valium, which i don't think helped at all.
Thank God this time my kid is out of school. Talk about feeling shame. I think  it was the third day I had to go work in his class. Because if i didn't, the guilt would have been far worse. I told her I could only stay half day, and the work she gave me to correct was so very difficult.  That concentration problem. (Should have stayed home!)
But I lost a LOT of business. And that is NOT cool.
Good luck NBG, and HANG IN THERE!!  Doing it again makes you feel worse.
Try and eat some chicken soup, it cures everything..
