Day One of sobriety

I just wanted to announce that my quit date is today.  I have been taking around 50 mg of hydrocodone for the past year or so.  I took my last one last night and flushed about 50 down the toilet.  I woke up craving my usual dosage and can't seem to stop thinking of them.  The mental part will be the hardest for me to conquer.  I called in sick to work and plan to use the weekend to detox.  Support is very much needed!  Thanks.

Wow....a flusher?????

Awesome job!!!!  Great decision on stopping.  You CAN do this.  Try and stay busy, ANYTHING to stop watching the clock.  

Keep in mind that ALL the physical stuff is temporary.  Did you get all the Thomas recipe items and the immodium???

Hang in there, you have made a positive life altering decision and should be incredibly proud of yourself.
