Day 1. More scared than sick. I think.

[ThisCantSuckForever]

I'm on Day 1 of going c/t from opiates. My doses were pretty high (Vicodin 10/325 x 10/day) and have been consistent over the last year or so. I finished my last two pills last night around 6pm. It's been 16 hours. I'm running hot/cold and feel kind of shaky, but that's it so far.

This is not my first rodeo. I've tried to quit before. I really need it to stick this time, and I feel like I'm doing all of the right things (game plan, Thomas Recipe), but right now I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Shouldn't I feel like garbage by now? And don't get me wrong, I don't feel fantastic, but I could drive to the store or unload the dishwasher if I had to.

Has anyone experienced delayed withdrawal, where their first day was not too bad and then they were hit by a ton of bricks? I have a hard time believing I'm getting off easy.
