7 days and 16 hours!

[Nomore2]

One week down. Physical symptoms are much better. I slept well again last night. I am feeling fantastic. Pill free and loving life. I am convinced that I will not relapse. I truly have no desire. I am just so ready to move on. I no longer have a valid prescription and have no way of getting pills. I'm done. I know I will still get cravings, but they are manageable for me. I am here to say that stopping isn't easy, but it can be done!!

excellent the best part is when things come real clear round 10-15 days the whole thing starts to make sense an although that little want is there its SOOOO manageable the sad thing for me is that its always there but that's just me and the pain its not as bad as it made it out to be...

Hi  well congrats on day 7 that is ausum and your off to a good start... your attitude rocks and that plays a big part in all of this....the only thing I see missing is aftercare.....this is a critical part of recovery and is not optional if you want to do this long term  just ask most of the people who have major clean time and we all will tell you it is because of aftercare....the pills are not the problem they are the solution we choose weather it be for ligitmite pain or to get  past a stressful day  or often just for that extra kick of energy....the real problem is the very way we think as addicts  long after the pills stop your still left with the addict alive and well in your head....im happy to hear your feeling so well so soon that is a big plus  but life on lifes terms can be a tuff propazition addiction will not just go away on its own  getting clean is the ez part staying that way takes work  I have tryed most forms of aftercare  at first I used the pastor of my church  then I moved on to a substance abuse counselor then a shrink  it all helped but I never lost the desire for that warm narcotic fuzzy feeling and truely thought it would be with me to the day I dye  I had heard that N/a had a good progam  it was free the meetings where only a hour long and I seen with my own 2 eyes that it worked for others not only days weeks or months clean but years like my buddy ''tatoo tom'' who I came to find out had 29years when I first met him....the one thing he told me was by going to the meetings  getting a sponcer and working the 12 steps you can not only stay clean  but you will loose the very desire to get high  something I thought was impossible...to day I live life to the fullest  I have a lot of really close friends in the progam that are clean... we not only share the meetings  but have many other outside things to do my wife loves the dances there is one after the Friday night speaker meeting and we go twice a month  this year the fellowship went tubing on the river  went camping up in sadona and had a ausum babaQ at the park...my life is full  and yes I have lost the very desire to use  N/A is more then just a meeting  it is a lifestyle that we share and even when life is tuff   your not going to face your problems alone we stand up to help each other and we never have to use again  I would highly recamend you google a N/A meeting in your area and give it a try  with the proper aftercare this could be your last detox....I wish you all the luck in the world with your new life  it takes less time to work aftercare then it took to use 24/7  keep posting for support........Gnarly...............

Adding my support and congratulations!   My doctor got busted, but he offered to find another doctor for me.....I said, no, I will quit.  

I had wanted to quit anyway...just didn't want to go thru withdrawals again.   I quit with a taper but still had some symptoms, but enough that I don't ever want to go through that again.   Like you, I have never bought them on the street.   I had more than enough to get me thru the month and I never took them all.   So, I was able to stay in control in that way.....but, I knew I wanted to quit but I just hated the withdrawals.    I will tell you the truth.   I didn't mind the physical symptoms as much as I dreaded the anxiety and lethargy.    For an active person, that is paralyzing, but like someone said, there are so many people with poor health, it is a shame to take my good health for granted and jeopardize it by taking poison.
