[gizzy32]

you are so early on that you will still have some days like this. like everyone here says, it's part of the process and healing does take some time. for the most part the worst should be over with, but don't get discouraged, you doing great.

I agree with troubleinohio... I am 2 months clean today and do not want to discourage you, but, I still have days that feel like day 3-4 of w/d... but it does get better. I think I could link some of mine to a little depression/anxiety... are you experienceing this at all? The days I felt down in the dumps or the days I felt very tense I felt horrible...

[troubleinohio]

Missy I had the same problem when I quit...some days were good and some very bad. I remember feeling the same way you do right now. As i recall, around day 12 to 14 i hit another rough patch. I had started finally feeling better from the initial severe WD's and then whammo i started feeeling crapppy again out of the blue. it was very discouraging and It was hard to remain positive. I kept thinking why did i bother quitting for if Im still gonna feel this bad 2 weeks out?? But i hung in there and just dealt with it and I did start feeeling better again. I also had some bad days in the 20 days out stage but they started to get fewer and farther between. Im not sure what the exact physical cause is that makes WD symptoms return sporadically like that sometimes, but they just do. Tough it out and hang in there, let it pass. You'll be feeling better again soon!

[Missy31]

This is ruff and its hard to stay optimistic when one day you are feeling good an the next like you are going backwards. I didn't get hardly any sleep last night because of my daughter so I don't know if that could be a contributing factor the past nites I would get some sleep, I am just very discouraged now to be feeling like this again. Its hard so very hard and I know I can beat it its just sooo hard. I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs and then just crying but what is that gonna solve ya know. I just gotta hang in there and get threw this one day at a time.

[Mikeinthesouth]

man I know I am craving my junk. I want it bad, just want to feel better, I need to be well. I want to be clean more though thats why I doing this crazy ****. It feels so good to have you all here too knowin what I am feelin for the most part.

[Mikeinthesouth]

I thought normal was a washing maching setting. I don't want to feel normal I was getting normal now I just wanna be clean. I feel like this is going to last forever too. I hope it is soon that this is gonna end. I read from everyone and I was goona ask sorta the same question. I feel like I should be through this by now as I am 9 days. I read some and they were feeling better and better so soon. I wonder why I am still in the middle of this ****. I feel like I am getting passewd up. I sure don't feel like the first days at all it was much much worse, but I am still to damn sick to do anything and feel like I am going to jump outta my own skin. I took 6 damn sleeping pills and I am still mentally awake, my body hurts and I am exhausted to the point of saying I am sleep deprived. I just wanna get through this to the other side of the long dark tunnel. There is a light at the end I can see sometimes in the first few I could not ever see an end to this madness.

[Missy31]

Thanks i guess i just need to stay focused and positive and try to deal with feeling like ****, I don't crave them I just feel so sick. Thats what is gettin me down Yesterday I didn't feelk like this and now today WAM even when I got up this morning I was feeling fine. Hopefully tomorrow will be better;

I am 14 days clean and still feel s*&^%y.  I am in your exact situation but I was taking
8-10 / 750 vicodins.  Maybe we can help eachother because I know I need it.  I'm sorry I can't give you any better advice!

[Chi_Chi_Lover]

Wow, you didn't use long. I used for years and it took me 2 weeks to get over the WDs and longer on the mental stuff. I had aches and pains and RLS for months also so maybe for some of us it take a little longer than others.

[Jacqui805]

First of all, I just wanted to lend you my support.  I can tell you that I have had all of those s/s off and on, even after "finishing" with the worst of the w/d.  My "gut" tells me that it's from the meds.  Remember, your body and mind is literally healing.  Some of it takes up to six months, some, up to a year.  I'm not saying you'll be going through all of this for that long, just saying it is a process.  I was out after dinner on Friday night, and afterwards playing cards with the in-laws.......I had to get up abruptly to run for the bathroom.  Thank God my legs cooperated enough to get me there on time.  This was not the first time.  I also have been alternatively chilled and hot, and dealing with sweaty palms and feet, as well as other sweats too.  I think we all want to feel, God I hate this word, but "normal."  I think you are.  Doesn't make is suck less I suppose, but I can relate if it helps at all.
