Day 3

[KirstenHere]

Oh how i though yesterday was bad. Is there any end to this madness? My entire body feels like it's about to just drop dead at any minute. There is not a part of me that doesn't hurt right now. I go to the bathroom evey 3/4 minutes barely making it because myu legs just don't want to move. They are sooo sore and achey. My eyes even hurt. I want this to go away right now. I HATE THIS I FREAKING HATE THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. 2 vicodin would fix all these problems for me...2..I don't need to take 6 like usual...just 2. I don't need to take 15 a days like I once was...I JUST WANT 2. Oh please, someone help me through this, I can't take it anymore. This is like livin in HELL

This is hell I know but be very proud of yourself for being on day 3. I will be honest tomorrow may be hard too but after that it will get better each day. Taking one will only make it worse, you have gone 3 days you DON'T  need that **** anymore. One thing I learned from sadinmichigan was that taking hot baths was my life saver ( trust me I learned more than that from her) but she was right on about the hot baths. I have 6 kids a husband and I go to school so I was suffering bad. I am now on 5wks 2days and will never go back to that.

you are in my prayers.

congrats to you for amking it through day 3..you might have the same type of day tomarrow but then you WILL start to feel better..The sleep problem tends to linger, as annoying as that is..it gets better too. Hope to hear from you tomarrow..And this forum has helped save my life on more than one occasion..it's awesome and the people here make it so..

Ok, it's about 11:46 on Tuesday...going to start my 4th day tomorrow. I MADE it through this day. I'm not sure how, but I did. I hadn't eaten in days, but my husband bought me bananas today and I can't stop eating them. My stomach cramps aren't as bad and the running to the bathroom is slowling down. I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring. The legs are still going a million miles an hour and I still have the shakes pretty bad. I do have ambian and clonodine (spelling) and it helps for sleep...but only about 2 hours at a time. But hey, I'm ok with 2 good hours right now...better than nothing.
Anyhow, thanks for being there for me, all of you....I'm sure i"ll need you again tomorow. You all are true God sends! You have no clue how much this site has helped me.

Read the craving list that cathy wrote in the health pages...follow the recipe and stay on track...are u taking anything for anxiety?

[sadinmichigan]

You can do this !!!! It does suck but you don't want to have to start over..Congrats to you and not_alone  for doing this!!! I am praying for you both,..

not_alone....I couldn't imagine having to work and do that..you go girl!! You must be pretty strong..

I know its hard to not think about it, but try listening to some music, call a friend if someone knows what you are going through ANYTHING to take your mind off of it for a minute. I tried to do as much as I could to stay busy and keep my mind off of it. The mind is POWERFUL....don't let it convince you to take one. One will turn into two, two into three etc. And it will just take longer to overcome the mental part if you do.

Don't torture yourself with thinking just 2 will do it.  They would most likely just be a tease and after an hour or two you would want more and be back at the same place.  I know that place, and I thought I could never get past it.  Literally counting minutes through hours just to make it back to bed again, and not be able to sleep anyway.  I've been there.  I was taking up to 20 10/325 Norcos a day, sometimes making myself vomit the next morning.  That's overdosing and I could have died.  But I made it a full month and felt good.  Went to pain clinic and they gave me more, but no refills and half that strength after I told him about the addiction.  When I took them again I felt sick.  Now if I take them I feel really sick and the high isn't there either.  
Just try to make another day for a little while.  It's hard, but soon you'll make it to a month and you will feel so much better and start to wonder how the hell you ever got so hooked on them.  In the meantime try the Thomas Recipe.  It helps.  Best of luck.

I was suppose to be on vacation but the lady I worked with called me this morning and said she was at the hospital with her husband and I need to go in.  AND BELIEVE ME I AM DYING....REALLY FEEL LIKE I'M DYING,  AND I UNDERSTAND THE CRYING AND TEARS i can't stop them either.  My poor husband has no idea what is wrong with me I could never tell him.  If i make this it will be a miracle.  

[KirstenHere]

Oh, how are you working? I can't even hardly get up and go to the bathroom. I envy you right now.

[alone_with_this]

the pain is bad I agree I told a hot bath every 45 mintues last night I have not spelt in 3 days.  I tell you what it's either now or never for me becasue I'm not doint this again.  Try the hot baths.

[alone_with_this]

I to am on day 3 and I'm with you I HATE IT....I'm trying to work a full time job and a pizza place that my husband and I own and know one knows about my problem but me.  Just hang in there we can do this.

[KirstenHere]

OMG this pain iis so bad...i can't stop crying and trembling. What is wrong with just ONE...wouldn't that take some of the edge offf? oh God, please someone help me

[sadinmichigan]

Honey..you are going to get through this. days 3-4 are definately tough. keep remembering why you wanted to quit..Hang in there..If only taking 2 pills would be that easy...it isn't for those of us that are addicts..You will quickly be back where you started..Don't take the pills..This is why your in this mess..I am praying for you.it will get better everyday.You are stronger than you think..Don't give up now.you are almost through the worst of the physical part..take care..get in that hot bathtub..put on some music..

[missm2]

Your almost here hun...hang in there. Day 3 is a huge accomplishment. Whatever you do..DONT TAKE ANY PILLS. Show yourself how strong you can be. You will be so proud of yourself in a couple of days. Sometimes I think thats what got me this far is by being so proud of myself for staying strong and not breaking in.

[mimi1313]

Day 3 is so hard, I know but you're almost there. You don't want to go backwards believe me. It will get better. I promise you. Don't take anything, it will just prolong it or you will start using again and you don't want that.

Just take the immodium and motrin and vitamins and this will pass. Not too much longer hang in there!!

[plymouthgirl]
