Back again

Hi everyone. I was on here over a year ago trying to get off of about 5 7.5 vics a day. How I wish for that time. Since then I went to about 10 to 12 - 10mg vics mixing in a bunch of oxy and anything else I could. I tried to quit a few times since but only when I was out and couldn't find anything. A lot of money spent and a divorce later and I'm on day 3 of being clean. This time I threw them out and started p90x which is insane but really helping me. I'm not sure who is still on here I from then but I hope everyone has been doing great and stayed clean.  So right now the sleeping is horrible and the late afternoon but I'm determined. I debated getting back here but I think I need the inspiration.

Thanks everyone. Gizzy the thing I'm doing different is exercise and having someone helping me. No one knew anything and I told someone who will be keeping me in check. As for sleeping I took an ambien last night and it worked wonders. Great night sleep.

Shinningstar keep it up. Not sure what attempt this is for you but get off of them. They ruin your life. Same to you bay. Thanks again everyone.

Welcome back Danny.  Great job on the 3 days, you are over half way through the withdrawal.  Gizzy is right, addiction is such a progressive disease and never gets easier.  The thing that is the worst is that when someone relapses, they usually pick up right where they left off and find they get worse much faster.  Keep working hard and posting.  P90X - i have a good friend that did that for a while - man.....it ought to wear you out, but exercise is great to help with the withdrawal.

Welcome back and congrats on those 3 days clean again. As I think you have learned addiction is progressive and gets worse till we finally stop for good and make some changes. What are you going to do different this time to stay clean?

Good luck and glad you posted and back. I know you can do this:) Have you ever taken anything to help with sleep, such as melatonin, etc?
