Thank you for sharing your story. Very insightful for such a young age. Keep up all your hard work and never go back. Congrats!!!
good job, we have seen the story and we all have lived it. I must have gone CT 20 times, and brainlessly went back to the pills over and over. some times you gotta get kicked in the face many times before you wake up.
and yes, sandy........we soon discover how gassed up we were, and how beautiful life is with out ANY opioids. to be normal,to wake up refreshed, to be able to break a toe without being in agony
that 800 pound gorilla is a bear to shake, but when we do its very satisfying :]
You are SOOO well versed AND said it SOOOO WELL... "smell the Autumn leaves" "sense of taste"... KEEP YOUR CUP HALF FULL" You should publish a book! Thanks for your insight and "words of wisdom" as we all know on this ROAD TO RECOVERY it can be tough... but SOOOO worth it! "FEELINGS AND SENSES"
Oh what A GIFT!
What an amazing and well written story. THANK YOU! I am a week clean from norcos and I feel almost back to normal. I got rid of an oxy habit last spring, and boy were those buggers tough to get out of the system, so JOB WELL DONE.
What we have to keep remembering during healing POST withdrawal, after you go thru the physical hell, is meditate on why life is better without pills. Your senses come back....sometimes thats frightening as everything is so bright its almost scary.....but then there is the great side of this, your soul comes back, your sex drive, sense of taste.....Sure, bumping your head hurts worse than ever, but the smell of Autumn leaves is also better than ever. Keep the cup half full. Feel that real energy. WOW....I CANNOT WAIT TO LAUGH AGAIN....FER REALS.....None of this half a** fakey laffs that came out of me when using pain killers. Pain killers are mojo killers.
Again thanks for the VERY well written story!!! BIG LOVE
I can relate to you more than anybody else on here..I just finished college 23 year old male..quit last year off of 40-80 mgs per day..just in the last month started to go past 1 80 per day, so sometimes i was doing 160 mg..i am in that stage you were talking about where i was using and not even enjoying it..right now i am doing some vicodin to curb the horrible oxy wd..i know most people dont recommend doing it this way but you just need to trust that i am doing this the right way for me..i am going to do the vicodin for about a week until i feel as though my body is on them rather than yearning for oc..and next week i am housesitting for my parents friends..i will have the entire house to myself and that will be my time to feel ****** and move on with my life..i have a girlfriend that i love more than anything in this world, she doesnt even know i have ever touched oc..and i am going to keep it that way..because that is not the person i am..like you said, i had no idea what i was getting into when i did my first OC.
WOW, congrats on a month clean and it sounds like your really working your recovery now. It makes a big difference! Thanks for sharing your story and keep posting. Well done man.
Slapperman, i love the cool aid man, but get off that pink cloud, haha.
I am on day 7 and no sleep for me i have asumed the shape and form of KOOL AID MAN
They should give us a dose of WD before our first OC dose then see if we still take it. I wonder....................
