62 days clean now !!!!

[whitie]

well its been 62 days now, I just noticed. Its the longest clean time I have had in almost 5 years. I have gone CT many times when I ran out of pills........then a year and a half ago I got into mixing methadone and my norcos, did not know what a major mistake it was then.  It was a tough road to go down,let me tell you. the methadone really had a hold on me, but I was very determined this time around to quit. first week was the worst wd's I have ever experienced, second week it was a little better, the each week after it got a little better. now I am about 92% back to normal and I am ready and determined to keep fighting till I get %100 right, no matter how long it takes.

This forum and its members stories have helped me sooooooo much.

thank you !!

95 and still kickin it.........whoo hAAAAA !!

man it took about 6 weeks to get the equipment back to normal. never had issues before. I am surprised more guys have not asked questions about it.  I am glad I am single,because I could not have dealt with a girl friend during these trying times. I sure thousands of breakups were caused by addictions. in the past years ,I was totally lost in a haze, but yet a functioning addict,whom has always worked hard.


well....... I actually dont live in grand rapids either, more towards lake michigan. figure somewhere between 37-50.but the problem is my work and certain people I dont want to know about this,may figure out who I am by my nick name, which is whitey.

I gotta fly undercover !!

my list is very similar to yours whitie.  ok, what's up with your age.  there is no way that you are 95 and worried about "equipment" issues  : )

[whitie]

whoops forgot the vision issue......... probably something else, so far 9 issues


gawd why did ever go through WD's so many times and not wake up about this crud, sooner  :[

[whitie]

no lisa, thats cool with me. yeah the sneezing one was really odd,  I never had allergies or sneezed like that !! I think one time I figured there was 5-6 different things wrong with me,while going through the major WD's lets see.........

1.no sleep
2.RLS(restless leg syndrom)
3.the bathroom runs
4.the flu like action
5.no energy or motivation
6.mental/head/neck aches
7.sneezing
8. some equipment not quite the same ........if ya know what I mean (XXX)

so about 8 of em. ...and some like the runs took 6-7 weeks because of the 'done and norcos I was mixing ......

[Lisa54]

do not mean to "thread jack" here but I want to comment on two things that you mentioned.  the sneezing and the vision issues.  I've had that too!  I've been off the oxycontin and Lortab for two weeks now.  was in a 5 day in hospital rehab.  The more I read on here the more I learn!

[whitie]

another stout one 703 !!!!!


and sara...your right, life is better, and I forgot what normal is.......because of mixing the 'done and norcos it was tough. plus I did a short taper on the 'done.It took a real long time for a normal bathroom visit my vision(which was always perfect) was faultering on me a close ranges when I was going through the first month, the sneezing is mostly gone now, that took 7 weeks.  other things seem to be back to normal now.

but I must say, I have seen some real heart breaker stories on this forum, and realized things could be worse, and they were monumental in making sure I do it right this time with zero comprimises , like I use to do in the past. I think if some of teh people that are trying to help their loved ones out of addiction, could just manage to get them to read the stories here, it might help them wake up.


thank you all for accepting my friends invites too!!

[avisg]

[whitie]

thanks for telling me how you have been doing, we all know how hard it is to shake this crud, and it helps to hear how others are doing. I have some good and some bad, but thats only normal. I know I had to get kicked in the face about 20 times inorder to face the fact I CANT CONTROL THEM,and they are controling me.

you the man gizzy too, and thanks for being a bro lee.

I am on here during the weekdays/daytime........If theres anything I can do at all,feel free to contact me ,everyone !!   :]

[leeisgettingclean]

great job man!!!!

[whitie]

thank you avisg for your hard work around here, and sick of those evil pills, glad to hear that !!  this forum has been huge for me.............the stories around here are soooo familar. I ve been through alot these last years, and sick and tired of being sick and tired.

[whitie]

thanks a bunch. yes I discovered the 'done was harder than I would have thought it would be, it just took longer.

I was VERY determined and still am TOTALLY committed to staying clean this time. Its way different now, I now know I cant control them like I thought I could for years. even my friend whom knows what I am going through,told me yesterday that I look much better and I am alot nicer to be around.

you have been a great one here to,bro.

[avisg]

That is so great you have come sooooo far keep it up

[sickofpills]

Congrats on over two month's clean!  Looks like you and I started around the same time.  I'm feeling better, too, not 100%, but much better and clearer.  We can do this!!

[gizzy32]

Congrats on over 2 months clean now. You will get back to 100%, it takes time and everyone is different. You have come a long way and should be proud. Keep posting, it helps so much. Good luck!
