I'm sorry Mark...Day 2 not 4 !!! You know for me days 2-3 were the hardest so keep the faith buddy :)
Mark...Day 4 !!! That's awesome !! Things will get better each day from hear on in with the wd's. Try to get outside and walk around a little. Close your eyes and take deep breaths and think to yourself how wonderful that air smells. When we're on these pills we often forget about the little things in life, the little things we used to enjoy before our lives were overtaken. Sit and reflect on how your life used to be before the addiction, I do this alot and it helps and will also make you smile which is important :) If you need anything just let me know...Dave
Thanks voxxx that gives me hope that I can totally stop. I am a full blown addict and like you said if I take just one even if I have been clean a month I go right back to taking a ton and the process repeats. I am day 4 now and have had minor cravings, but I need to stop I can't take withdrawaling every other month. Thanks for your story though it reminds me I am not the only young person in college secretly dealing with a drug addiction. Also congrats on 6 months can't wait till I can say that.
I know what your going through, myself being 21 and in college. I started off like you taking a few norcos a couple days a week back when I was 16. And it progressed over the past 5 years from oxycontin, dilaudid, fentanyl and finally iv heroin. I have been through withdrawals too many times to count. Im sure you will be able to beat the withdrawals as you seem genuinely wanting to stop.
As far as taking some more pills after the withdrawals are over, if your anything like me be aware that one use WILL eventually bring you back into full blown dependency. I dont know why it is like that (for me atleast) with opiates, but I know for me its either full addiction or none at all. Ive been clean for over 6 months now so it IS possible.
hey mark, how is today going for you? you can do this you will do this. you can win this battle over addiction. our GOD is greater and HE can do great and mighty things on your behaf. keep the faith my brother.
hugs and prayers
