I ended up telling my mom after it was all over because i wanted her to understand and not take it personally...i had been distant and jumpy using then very withdrawn afterwards...she was sweet about it but does not really understand..i also ended up telling several close friends...at first i felt it was such a dirty secret...then it just really did not matter anymore for some reason...i was scared to go to meetings as i may see someone i know...and i did eventually...but i did not care...this problem is way more common than i thought...glad u r hanging in there

just know why you are having mood issues and try the best you can to deal with them before you lash out..i know it's hard..when your feeling like ****..try to take a walk or something or punch a punching bag..thats what i do..What people do you think you need to tell? family friends? if they are just people you encounterduring the day..you don't need to tell them..lol sorry i know it's not funny..you know whats going on just try and take a deep breath and get it together..not easy i know..

Not t he best day, i got mad quick @ people who did not deserve it and was just an all around idiot. These people dont even know whats going on w/ the detox or any thing. i feel like i should tell them but i really dont want too.....i`m not really sure

This sure is a long weekend, alot,of the same things are different if you no what i mean. Instead of relaxing on the weekend it seems more like work.

Was/is for me. I binged on the weekends so its tougher for me. This is my 2nd weekend wo but its going much better. Changing habits helps if you can. Don't know what you were taking or dose levels, but day five is awesome. Best wishes

Samething for me. On the weekends I have to much free time on my hands and I wasn't sure what to do. I need a regular routine and going to work during the week provides that but on the weekends I get restless. Since I don't go out like I used to I have tried to get back to doing the things I use to enjoy like reading and cooking.

Weekends were hard for me, so find something you enjoy doing to keep you busy---like spring cleaning---just joking :)

Yes I can understand that feeling. Weekends were usually the time that I would use a higher dose of pain meds just to get into the weekend spirit. I just changed my schedule for the first couple of weekends so that my mind wasn't lingering on what I used to do. Congradulations on day 5. You should be feeling much better by now but just watch out for the PAWS. You can read about it here on the bottom of the page to your right. Have a great weekend without using!!!!!
