4th day

  i guess ive messed up on my daily things on here . this might be the first one read . im on day 4 of cold turkey from 6 to 10 norcos a day for two years . ive held a strict regimine of drinking an ensure ( 370 mlgs of pottasium for pain ) in the morning followed by vitamins for men . i take ibuprofen for the pain every four to six hours .  the hylands rls works ok but trying to sleep , lol , forget it , take it when you can get it . my first 48 hours was straight . i work out as much as possible to build natural endorphins too . even if just 5 minutes then lay down for twenty . oh , and dont forget the immodium ad so you wont crap your pants ! epsom salt bath , oh yeah , heaven ! i even threw in a magnetic bracelet ! seems to work for aches . oh , and bananas too , more potassium . so far ive had no pain or aches , just a mild upset stomach and a little short winded . i wake on day four after 6 hours of sleep and feel pretty good . isnt today supposed to be the toughest day ? ive only had one good sweat last night where i changed the sheets but otherwise quitting this stuff is something i should i have done a long time ago . its all mind set people , i was ready ...... are you ? take charge of your life ! dont let a little pill ruin it !

Congrats on your clean time!!!  Sounds like you are doing really well.  Mind over matter!!  Keep staying positive.  Check into some sort of recovery care.  The hard part starts after wd's.     sara

Good job on your clean time! Frame of mind can change everything. The more positive you are (usually) the easier it is to come off of. Coming off of Methadone was one of the hardest things I had ever done but I was so pumped up about it and determined that I flew right threw like a champ. Addiction needs aftercare though because I found myself relapsing. Again, good job on your clean time and we are here to support you. This is a good tool for everyone to see how important it is to think POSITIVE!

I'm glad you are doing so well.  Yes, you would be in the thick of it right now.  Sometimes people are a little better by day 4.  Depends on the drug, dosage and amount of time used.

You're doing great!!!!!!!!!! : )
