49 hours off OC

[716]

so my last dose of oc was sunday morning at 9:45am, i was taking160mg at once at least once a day for a for a few months and using in lesser amounts for about 4.5 years.  on sunday morning i took only a 15mg chunk that i had left to get me through a short day at work before i took a week off to wd.  so my question is ma i on day three since its been over 48 hours since my last dose or is this the start of day two since its the morning of my second full drug free day?  need to know where im at in my recovery.  i have to say ive been through wds three times before cuz i had to and this time was MY choice, the other times were 10X worse and i was using less, why is this? did i just get lucky?  havent had a single pain in my legs, just a couple spurts of pain in my arm here and there, not much sweating, no runs or vomiting, still have anxiety and only slept 3 hours last night but overall it hasnt been much,  way less then i was anticipating.  did i get lucky or since i was doing so much will it get way worse a little later?  thank you for reading, cant wait to be Rob again.  and one of the biggest things for me was being open with EVERYBODY about my addiction this time, my girlfriend didnt leave me, she has helped me every chance she can by spending time with me a running baths for me and keeping me busy and my parents have been running all my errands.  it takes a lot of the emotional burden off by telling the people you love and being honest.

Your time clean is 24 hrs from the last time u took anything at least that's how I do it. The real withdrawals didn't start for me un till about the 3rd or 4th day then u got a few real bad days then it slowly starts gettin better each day. I also took a very large amount and stopped cold turkey. All the physical and mental problems will go away 100% all that's left is cravings those will become a lot less frquent with time.

thanks for the support.  i want to get over this so bad, my dealer texted me last night saying he had 5mg percs abd i was so close to getting some thinking "5mg will help me sleep and not do much damage" but i didnt cus i know myself too well.  it would just lead to me getting more and more so im happy i didnt.
