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.

"I have to pay to get out"
Ain't that the truth. What if WD/s were easy? Where would we all be? I know where I'd be and it ain't a good place. I'll gladly suffer and hope I learn my lesson this time. I may not get another chance. As for why we don't stop? I think we all know the answer to that. Thanks an take it 1 @ a time! You'll be fine....

Oh and OJ is the best lb for lb value on potassium, that doesn't taste like crap!

Was thinking about you and glad the spirits are still high.  The fiance is doing much better, day 3 for her.  She has an appetite back and is looking so much better.  

Unfortunately the diet of what we have been eating has been horrible.  For some reason all I have wanted to eat was Mc Donalds and Taco Bell.  My last four meals have been fast food...I know I know I should be eating better but just glad I am. I never eat fast food I promise but am making an exception until Monday.  

I am so proud of you right now.  I KNOW you are gonna make it through these rough days.  Try to get Monday off, even if you feel a little better.  I could have worked today, but called in anyhow.  Mentally it REALLY helped to have that extra day.  Today is day four, tomorrow is day five.  It is all one day at a time.

As for aftercare, I was so against it, but this is my first time trying to kick anything and I am never going back.  Gonna go see an addiction specialist, I have great insurance so I should be able to find someone.  Plus I live in a very big city so should be okay.  Glad youre thinking about the aftercare.  It can only help right?

Keep your head up and I will check in on you in a little bit.  Gonna watch a movie.  Havent wanted to do that for days.

I would wait till tomorrow morn to take the B vitamins but the C and potassium would be ok hey might even help you sleep. Yeah if your feeling anxious right now I would stay away of the L-Tyrosine for now as it can make you jittery. If you have valerian you should take it as it will calm you down. Hope you can get some sleep tonight.

Thanks - I found 2 in the area. I am going to see if they are meeting over the weekend. If not, I'll find out when so I can check them out. I know from everything i've learned over the last 2 weeks it is vital. I appreciate your help. Should these groups not pan out I will definitely get in touch with you to see if you can help me find one.

yeah, i have a b complex and potassium on top of my multi-vitamin. i'm a meat n potatoes kind of girl so thats not a prob. I'm mostly afraid of keeping myself awake for reason i've inflicted. LOL  i'm just trying to stay in the spirit of things, which btw is, "I got myself this far into this mess, I have to pay to get out" Surgeries or not, i guess the endless question is why didnt i stop when i started to feel better?

I hope you're doing well, I've been following your story as well.  Keep up the good work!

Hey NBG I ate a TON of foods w/ potassium yesterday and I was up till 3 but slept ok till 10. Not that I'm certain of such luck tonite but I remain hopeful. And BTW bananas are not the best source of potassuim lb per lb. Tomato juice of soup, potatoes, raisins are all better. I googled that. I also have a multi-v w/ lot's of potassium. Oh and I took a long hot soak before bed. W/ epsom salts. I know that helped. Hang in there man...
