78 hours sober is the worst over with

I am working today. Been off lortabs now for 3-1/2 days. I'm a little groggy. And ringing in my ears. Is the worst over with? The stomach cramps and stuff. Because today I feel much better. Not 100% but much better!! And I'm determined this time. I'm done with this. It's over. I'll never put myself through this again!

That's good to hear. So hopefully late tomorrow I should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. What's so amazing to me, is the lack of cravings. I guess since I'd hit Rock bottom, I just knew it was time. And the proud feeling of making it this far, would far outweigh a craving anyway!


@inneed88. I'm taking vitamins, drinking tons of water. A blood pressure medicine, an adovan every once in a while, as needed. And ambien for sleep. I've been on gabapentin for 10 years for nerve damage, so that's helping with the twitches. I just want it to be next week haha. I know it'll be here before I know it. And I'll be so proud!!

Its hard to say, everyone is different and each detox is different.  Your almost there though.  Are you taking any vitamins or anything to help?
