I'm on 7 or I can't

[havemercyoxy]

I am on day 7 or 8 I just cannot renenber.  Deoxing from 2 80 mg of oxy day for quite a few yers now.  I am doing the Thomas thing. Don't know that it is helping but anyway .  I am a 45 F living alone and I haven't seen 1 sole since my sons were here on Christmas Day.  May God have mercy on my soul.  Anyway any contact from you kind people would be greatly acepted at anytime. Good luck to all for it is a fearful fight to get clean.  Much love to all.

i holed up here for 5 days during detox..also live aklone.,,my g-dtr came over for 2 of those nights and it helped..i also got out each day to walk..that was the only time i left the house til day 5 and i was back to work...staying busy can help when u feel up to it..even cleaning out a closet/even if it takes all day long to do it/can be rewarding...movies and books...catch up on phone calls or emails..posting here too all helps..have u tried a walk?

The best thing I can say at this point is that it will get better as the days go by. You're most definitely through the worst. You'll begin to feel better...then the mental side comes along. What plans have you made for aftercare? AA? NA? Group Therapy? Therapist? The withdrawal is actually the easy part of this addiction. The mental stuff is the hard part.

not having contact with people seems to be the norm when withdrawing but your social side will return sometimes we have to force ourselves to reach out and socialize but everyday you will find it easier to do that.congratulations on a week clean keep up the good fight and be proud!

Good morning and congrats on a week clean. Hang in there and know that you will be feeling so much better soon and you can hold your head high for this accomplishment. It's so hard at first, but worth the fight. When i first got clean, i didn't have much contact with people either at first, i was so pissed off and angry and sick lol. it is a process, but there is so much good waiting for us when we are clean. Stay strong, we are here for you:)
