3 pills today

So today I took 1 tab and 2 kolopins...  I'm fighting so hard not to take another tab till tomorrow.  I just got out of work and feel like I've been hit by a truck and am so emotional, I know this is only going to get worse.  And I hate that no one knows...  any ideas on how to help the pain?  I've read a few time about a vitamin cocktail, what is that all about??  I fell like I'm dying :(

And now I'm crying (again). Its just weird for me to have someone to talk to... yesterday was just a bad day, but just because of the pills, but life, my oldest sons father is a huge a$$ and we've been having problems with him.  My chest hurts so bad today, I don't know if its from the lack of pills or from anxiety.

Dont be scared. I promise it will all be OK. Yes,its going to s*ck at first,,feeling like poo and having anxiety and such but that is all going to pass as each day goes by. Its..weird in the beginning when you start living sober again, It feels uncomfortable sometimes,,waking up and not taking a pill, working without the pills but all that will feel and become normal again for ya. This is a slow process and doesnt happen overnight. Its a lifestyle change that you have to work for everyday. The choices you make and the life you choose to have have to be revolved around maintaining sobriety. Keep that front and center and focused and you can do this. everything that you are feeling and going thru 99% of us went thru as well and I promise that in the end all this h*ll that you go thru will pay off. Settle in and mentally prepare yourself for this and you will be OK. There isnt a feeling that you are having that I cant validate for you. I just know. I know where you are. Hang in there!! Keep us posted~ ~Bkitty

Bone...  yes I want to quit.  I can't live like this anymore.            
Bkitty...  thank you,  I'm sure I will need the help, seeing as one person in my life knows what's going on, and she really isn't much support.  I'm scared of what's going to happen when I stop taking everything.

I tapered down from H and now I am on day 4 without any opiates.  I was greeted on here 4 days ago with open arms and there are many options out there for you as to what you want to do.  I've been taking vitamins, restless leg syndrome meds, melatonin that helps you sleep, immodium etc. Potassium will help with muscle and nerve pain as a healthy alternative, but use as directed. I am not a doctor, but a very bright nurse on here has taken me under her wing and told me how to deal with all the withdrawal ahead. Its a life long fight, but I AM OFFICIALLY DONE and I hope you've come to that decision too. Its no way to live
