Gettin trough it.

Someone once told me music is 350mg of painkiller, and it’s true. The music takes your mind off the achy legs, the tightening of your chest, the anxiety you feel for the pills. Look, you want the withdrawal symptoms to go away faster? Well it isn’t going to happen, unless you get out of the bed, off the chat rooms and sweat it out. Go to the gym, park, anywhere you can get a good workout and sweat. These toxins we have all put into our bodies need to come out. So grab your iPod and workout’ not only will that help your body get clean, but will help with the depression that will soon follow. Eat leafy greens, fruit (like bananas) and skip the anti-diarrhea for your first day. It needs to come out, so get Pedi alight and let it happen. Day two take Imodium AD, get some detoxing tea, and SAM-E or Saint Johns Wart (SAM-E help with our serotonin levels and Saint Johns Wart help with anxiety) and again, hit the gym. In a few days you physically won’t crave the drugs and be able to start getting your life back. YOU WILL BE FRAGILE, so get working out, join a support group (outside the internet) and fake it til you make it. I know it *****, but, we all put ourselves into this mess, you have to be strong, suck it up and go through it. I don’t mean to sound like a *****, I am going through my 7th withdrawal to get clean for good, and every time I ignored the advice of working out and other remedies. This time I WILL STAY CLEAN, I am on day 4 and I am starting to see clearly. This is the fastest I have ever felt like I really can do this. So can everyone else, and hey if working out and sweating it out works a least you’ll have a better body. I wish you all the best of luck.

music is the key ive been preaching 2 the choir or so i thought, j/k im sure somebody listened  or i hope .....wheneva i felt like death id put on the headphonees ( yeah headphones are cool again) and just listen for about 20 min i would take what seemed like a nap but was more less somwhat of a trance like state of mind.....after that i would feel rejoiced......ur also right about getting those first days of "shattin" like william out your body then after that taking a pepto or immoium agent like chem...i can truely say u have went thru wds many times b4 and know a thing or 2.... but dont get 2 cocky because when u think your incharge u lose!!!!!  keep up the hard work and stray away from relapse  stay clean and keep on keeping on. You have the tools use them 2 your benefit!!! congrats on day 4 ( Im on day 57 and im still learning and fighting 2 be sober) best of luck with y0ur gooodtime !!!

Awesome.  I agree with you wholeheartedly.  Music and exercise and treating myself with lots of love got me through detox and has kept me going strong for the past 800 + days.  Wishing you the best and congrats on your clean time (:
