I found this site yesterday while I was having a bad moment. Today is the start of day 3 for me and at the moment I actually feel pretty good. I went to my first AA meeting last night and found it very helpful.Any way I'm out here with the cold sweats and the runs. If anyone feels like they need to chat

im on day 3 as well, the withdrawls are driving me crazy the last two days were okay but today im having a rough time. This is like the billionith time i've tried to quit, and i really am trying everything this time I really want to stick with it. I went to NA for the first time this week and also found it quite helpful, im realizing the best thing for me right now is to relate to other people going through what I am so anytime you want or need to chat, feel free =]

hang in there, i know im trying

Hi again I hope your still staying strong. You can do this and will do this. we can do this. It is now the end of day 12 without methadone but the 2mg suboxone have taken away the pain so its easy atm which is still scaring the living daylights out of me but the doc today said that because its so low and its only 5 days not 6 and i will be dropping to 1.2mg 2morrow that and then again daily till day 5 that i wont withdraw off them but will still have some methadone withdrawal but hopefully will be over the worst of it. Fingers crossed only another week or so once i finish these suboxone.I will keep you updated on how it goes. **** I have everything crossed not just my fingers lol. Take care and will come back 2morrow to see how things are going. Time to try and sleep

Thanks. I went to AA  as suppose to NA   for those same reasons. I'm from a big city near Boston and just wanted a different crowd. I went with a friend who has drinking problems so it was nice. My first event def. not my last. 6 yrs of popping percocet and oxy like candy is going to take more than 3 days to kick. I know that. 6 yrs of
every day  wow my body is tired..........

well the good thing is that you have done this before and it sounds like you want to do it again.I was taking anywhere from 10 - 20 perks a day which then graduated to oxcy's . I have been doing this since 2003 when I needed my back operation. I too quit once but not for to long.  I'm on day 3 and mentally I know that I'm done with this. I havent needed or wanted something this bad in sometime. Keep fighting

congrats on 3 days...and also congrats o admitting u need support..meetings help so much..i ended up in AA as well even tho my problem was narcotics as well..same principles and i felt more comfy there...NA here in the deep south is a bit hard core..not saying a pill popper can not be hard core but just had little in common with NA peeps...it is great posting to post here too as there is lots of knowledge and support here

Hi again, My problem was also with oxcy's so i went on the methadone, i badly wanted to stop injecting and get on with my life. I had been clean for 7yrs until my marriage broke down so i went straight back to what i had been doing before i met him.gggggrrrr idiot i lost everything. I now have my son back and need to get off this ****. i have only been back on the methadone since september last year and started rapidly dropping off 45mg in feb. when i got to 10mg i thought i can do this jumped off and wow what a reminder of the hell i had endured 9 yr ago. it was day 11 for me today and i was at my wits end so have started a 6 day course of suboxone. i dont know if i have done the right thing im so scared i have gone back to day one because i feel pretty good with this dose of only 2mg of sub. i'm so scared

Hi   actually my problem is with the pills... perks and oxcy's since 2003....   I have not been on methadone.  I here the w/d are very hard...  I can tell you that these w/d are also hard...  I went to the meeting because my only friend that is sober goes to them.... So i thought I would try it out...It helped as did doing this
